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. Bump button/counter
2. Some sort of admin/moderator login and view
3. CSS
4. Configure perlcritic

Crazy future ideas

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

1. CAPTCHA with Lingua::EN::Inflexion (This may not even be necessary with proper admin/moderation stuff)
2. Return a text response instead of HTML if a .txt extension is requested
3. Post thread via SMS (twil.io??)
4. Implement bcrypt
