Alternatively, find Serel on RubyGems. A quick tour and introduction can be found on the Serel site.

Contact

Comment me. Or ping me on chat. I'm usually in The Bridge.

Code

You can find the code on GitHub, as well as documentation generated off the master branch on RDoc, even if it is lacklustre in places.

Automatic builds are done with Travis-Ci, and the current build status of master is: Build Status.

Written in Ruby, with test suite assistance from RSpec, Webmock & VCR.

Contributions are more than welcome, since I'm sure I'll have misplaced something somewhere.

We (myself and Kyle), with graphical help from Nathan, developed an automatically generated image that pulls in the number of bounties, the total bounty rep value, and displays that in an image.

Current Ask Different bounties

It is part of the Ask Different Community Ads, and we're pretty proud of it.

Thanks for developing Serel, it made the heavy lifting of StackExchange's API insanely simple, and we could focus on the harder parts, like getting RMagick to play nice and actually do what we want it to do (┬──┬ ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) adequately explains how I felt about RMagick... often).

Nice work! I look forward to the day I don't have to install it with --pre! :D

I'm using this library as the backend to a project that you might hear about in the not so distant future. Just have to work out some logistical / hosting / etc. issues.
