A basic, not-so-fancy micro-blogging application. The microblog allows users to create, devour, update, and delete miniature blog posts. Currently supports authors, tagging, and snippets (without preview).
Future development:
- Snippet preview.
- Sticky posts.
- Reblog capability.
- Integration (via tags) with Twitter api.
- Make the thing look good.
CSS styling is not my bag.
- SendGrid: enables sending email notifications to users who want more email.
- body-parser: allows for parsing the body of incoming server requests
- ejs: javascript templating engine
- express: the type of http server we're using
- method-override: allows us to use "PUT" type http verbs
- request: for grabbing urls from the Internet
- sendgrid: enables email. See API section
- sqlite3: our backend database is sqlite3
- Clone from GIT at https://github.com/scmgithub/microblog.git
- Track my progress at https://trello.com/b/ittFshX9/wdi-project-1, if that's your thing.
- The server is running at http://www.stevemcintosh.us. (a.k.a. http://104.236.90.68:80) (Unless it isn't.)
