title: How to create a widget platform from scratch
body: <p>We want to create a widget platform for a particular website.</p>
  
  <p>I couldn't find any articles on doing this, but what I need right now is for someone to point me in the right direction.</p>
  
  <p>What framework should we use? I am proficient with RoR, and okay with Java/.Net, but I don't know if doing this in rails is easy because I can't see how this will be like the usual web application.</p>
  
  <p>A lot of widget platforms allow third party developers to use Javascript. How easy will this be, will we have to create a interpreter or something like that?</p>
  
  <p>What kind of architecture should we follow? Do we store widgets in the database?</p>
