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 public/ -w lib/ -w templates/ \
    -w script/ script/post_text

Now try requesting http://localhost:3000

Testing

First, create a valid first thread and first remark to the first thread. The tests rely on the existence of thread #1 and remark #1 being the first remark to that first thread. Then you can run the tests locally:

prove -l

TODOs

Full text search + archive old posts
"All new posts flagged" mode (require approval for new posts)
Tests for mod-only user?

Crazy future ideas

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

Is remark_tally counting hidden remarks? Tried to add a WHERE NOT hidden_status but that returns null, probably need a different JOIN which may not be worth the trouble/processing
Implement tripcodes (moving this down in priority due to complexity...)
Post thread via SMS (twil.io??)
