About HowFlow
HowFlow is a community-based tricks and howtos popularity website. It combines social bookmarking, blogging, and syndication with a form of non-hierarchical, democratic editorial control.
Tricks, howtos and websites are submitted by users, and then promoted to the front page through a user-based ranking system. This differs from the hierarchical editorial system that many other sites employ.
Readers can view all of the tricks that have been submitted by fellow users in the "Upcoming" section. Once a trick has received enough votes, it appears on HowFlow's front page. Should the trick not receive enough votes, or if enough users report a problem with the submission, the trick will remain in the "upcoming" area, where it may eventually be removed.
By the way: HowFlow is a pure Ruby on Rails Application.
