Create yet another publishing tool - Jan 2015

A January 2015 project.
Simple blog or note-taking web app.
Uses:

  • Nginx for the web server
  • Node.js for the "client" code on the server
  • API-based
    • possibly create the initial API code in Perl
    • then create the API code in Node.js
  • use CouchDB for the data store
  • use Redis as the caching server

This will be a simpler app than Grebe.

  • account creation and the login procedure will not use a password
  • use only Markdown as the formatting markup (node.js showdown)
  • two types of posts: articles and notes
  • notes will function like in the Grebe app with no char limits
    • if no title, then a note. with title, then article.
  • the home page will look like the stream view when logged into the Junco app with notes and articles displayed
  • only the first 200 to 300 chars for notes and articles will be displayed in the stream view
  • little text area box displayed at the top of the stream view when logged in, which can be used for either notes or articles
  • click post link for a larger textarea box that can also used for both notes and articles
  • no fancy blog-like display options for articles like in Junco with the blog_username tag and like with the default view for Grebe
  • simplify CSS
    • no homepage banner image
    • borrow header and nav ideas from Grebe
  • ability to display articles/notes/entire stream for a user??
  • it will be multi-user
  • do not put the delete/undelete functions on the stream display for logged-in users
    • move delete/undelete to the article page
  • Do NOT include the following features:
    • related articles
    • view article source
    • hashtags auto-linked and counts stored in sep
