PostText/README.md

Post::Text

A textboard written in Perl

Installing locally

Install dependencies:

cpanm --installdeps .

Running locally

Create a config file:

cp example_post_text.conf post_text.conf

This file right now just contains a Perl hash reference. Someday it should be YAML or XML or something better suited.

Run it in development mode:

morbo -w assets/css/ -w lib/ -w migrations/ -w t/ -w templates/ \
    script/post_text

Now try requesting http://localhost:3000

Testing

Run the tests locally (against development environment):

prove -l

TODOs

1. Rules/about page
2. CSS
3. "All new posts flagged" mode (require approval for new posts)

Crazy future ideas

(Lord knows there's TODOs I could be working on...)

1. Support at least some Markdown, specifically the code blocks
2. Implement tripcodes (moving this down in priority due to complexity...)
3. Return a text response instead of HTML if a .txt extension is requested (JSON?)
4. Post thread via SMS (twil.io??)
5. Option to remark without bumping?
