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. Tests for flagged view? Not much to it but got pulled into work stuff
2. View for hidden posts
3. Actions for creating moderators and resetting passwords
4. CSS

Crazy future ideas

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

1. Support at least some Markdown, specifically the code blocks
2. RSS feed!!
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?
