PatternTap

This provides a simple wrapper for retrieving information about the latest PatternTap posts.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'patterntap'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install patterntap

You can use the following code to access PatternTap posts in your application:

PatternTap.recent

That will return the most recent 10 posts from PatternTap. Each PatternTap post has the following methods defined on it:

• URL: The url to the post
• Title: The title of the post
• Image URL: The url to the image associated with post
• Date: The date the post was published

irb(main):002:0> post = PatternTap.recent.first
irb(main):003:0> post.title
=> "Intro Slideshow from Evernote Hello"
irb(main):004:0> post.url
