Bowline is a framework for making cross platform desktop applications in Ruby, HTML and JavaScript.
If you've ever wished creating a desktop application was as simple as creating a Rails website, Bowline's for you.
Bowline respects MVC, you can design your views in HTML5/CSS3 - then bind them to your Ruby models. There's no request/response cycle - any changes in models automatically get reflected in the view.
