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. lock_status isn't doing anything!!
2. Actions for creating moderators and resetting passwords
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. RSS feed!!
2. Support at least some Markdown, specifically the code blocks
3. Implement tripcodes (moving this down in priority due to complexity...)
4. Return a text response instead of HTML if a .txt extension is requested (JSON?)
5. Post thread via SMS (twil.io??)
6. Option to remark without bumping?
