Today version 0.4.3 of Firefly was released with some minor updates. To complete the package, a new gem [firefly-client][1] has been released.
The client library allows your Ruby application to easily shorten URLs with a remote Firefly server. It's very easy to use and lightweight.

Using the Firefly Client is very easy, read the following snippet from the [README][3]:
require 'rubygems'
require 'firefly-client'
firefly = Firefly::Client.new("http://aj.gs", "my_api_key")
firefly.shorten("http://google.com")
=> "http://aj.gs/8ds"
