Genius Blocker is a piece of Rack Middleware designed to prevent unwanted annotations by News Genius.
The middleware injects a small bit of JavaScript code into the
<head></head> of a website in order to force a redirect to the original
website whenever anyone attempts to prepend genius.it/ onto a website's URL
for annotation purposes.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'genius-blocker'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install genius-blocker
For most applications, you can insert middleware into the config.ru file in the root of the application.
A simple config.ru in a Rails application might look
like this after adding Genius::Blocker:
require ::File.expand_path('../config/environment', __FILE__)
use Genius::Blocker
