Post::Text

A textboard written in Perl

Installing locally

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

Now try requesting http://localhost:3000

Testing

prove -l

TODOs

1. Show bump_tally and remark_count in single thread view
2. Rename remark_count to remark_tally
3. Redirect mod/admin back to hidden/flagged where it makes sense
4. CSS
5. "All new posts flagged" mode (require approval for new posts)
6. Tests for mod-only user?
7. Check input validation

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?
