Hello service_disruption gem

Software

Well over the past few weeks I’ve been working on a little gem that makes it easy to get notifications when the Tube status changes. As a byproduct it also gives easy access to the tube data as ruby objects too :)

Previously you’d have to actively check the TFL website, or sign up for the TFL Alerts programme, which sends you text alerts.

However service_disruption polls the TFL Data feed for changes, and if there are changes it will alert you using Growl.

So in order to get this to work you’ll need

  • Ruby 1.8.7 / 1.9.3 / 2.0.0
  • Growl
  • Apple Mac

Installation instructions are available at the projects github repo

As always any feedback would be great, and suggestions for improvements.
