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. xml_escape() the body when rendered rather than saving XML escaped
2. Rules/about page
3. CSS
4. "All new posts flagged" mode (require approval for new posts)

Crazy future ideas

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

1. Implement tripcodes (moving this down in priority due to complexity...)
2. Return a text response instead of HTML if a .txt extension is requested (JSON?)
3. Post thread via SMS (twil.io??)
4. Option to remark without bumping?
