14 FiveRuns TuneUp: Social Rails Development 0 comments
Earlier today FiveRuns, the company behind the application profiler Manage, and possibly one of the most gorgeous websites ever released a new product named "TuneUp".
TuneUp is a plugin which adds a bar along the top of your layout which gives you access to the timings of the code behind each page. When you notice a page taking longer than expected to be generated you can post the report to the TuneUp website where people can comment on the patterns to suggest improvements.
I did come across quite an annoying problem that the CSS has been written in a way that means some attributes are overwritten by my own stylesheets, which causes rendering problems on the menu bar, however it is still in beta so these problems can be expected.
TuneUp is free, and according to FiveRuns will stay that way! You can register at tuneup.fiveruns.com.
Update: I have fixed the issue, the TuneUp JavaScript file added top:50px to anything absolutely positioned, even if it's not relative to the body, so I removed lines 15-21 from the tuneup.js file.
Update 2: FiveRuns have released the next version of TuneUp which should have solved these problems.
