Hi Jacob, that sounds cool and maybe easy enough for a first Rails contribution (which I also never did but would like to). Do you know https://github.com/jeremyevans/sequel ? With Sequel you can do stuff like
posts.where(:stamp => (Date.today - 14)..(Date.today - 7)) which seems quite intuitive. Maybe we can just port that.
