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. Actions for creating moderators and resetting passwords
2. CSS

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?
