Roachclip

Joint lets you do:

class Doc
  include MongoMapper::Document
  plugin Joint

  attachment :image
end

And stores everything in GridFS, but doesn’t have any image processing

Paperclip lets you do:

class Doc < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attached_file :image, :styles => {:thumb => {:geometry => '50x50>'}, :large => {:geometry => '500x500>'}}
end

But is attached to ActiveRecord and wants to work w/ a regular filesystem.

Roachclip lets you do:

class Doc
  include MongoMapper::Document
  plugin Roachclip

  roachclip :image, :styles => {:thumb => {:geometry => '50x50>'}, :large => {:geometry => '500x500>'}}
end

Which combines Joint’s GridFS-ness with Paperclip’s image processing-ness. Note that Roachclip relies on Paperclip and Joint. You’ll have to have those gems installed (rubygems gem deps should take care of it for you). Roachclip will plug Joint into your models automatically.
