Creating new blog tool based upon Junco and Kinglet

#todo - #programming - #blogging

I created Kinglet from Junco code. I'd like to create a smaller blogging tool based upon ideas and code from both Junco and Kinglet.

App name options:

• Modo
• Veery
• Tanager
• Scaup
• Grebe

Features

• Development and Design:
  • API first development like Kinglet.
  • Build the server-side API code first, and then create the "client" code that interacts with the browser.
  • Responsive design
  • Keep the CSS significantly simpler and smaller this time. I start out that way but end up with too much CSS.

• Markup support:
  • pick one of either Markdown, Multimarkdown, or Textile
  • most likely it will either be Multimarkdown or Textile because of the additional features, such as tables and footnotes.
  • some basic HTML commands will be supported too.
  • will the special embed commands for other media types exist?
  • will my long-time customized markup commands exist?
  • if going for a simpler app, then some things will need to be left out of the code, otherwise, it ends up being Junco except designed with API first, which I would prefer to have, but I'd like to do this incrementally with the existing Junco code.
