swizzler Goto Github PK

Provide a twister web client that:

• is #NoJS^TM - currently, it has no JS at all, which is a trivial case ;), but all pull-requests should work when JS is disabled. That's the only "rule".
• Is simple enough for people to fork and try other front-ends or features (I have a few in mind. I'm sure you have others).

In short: it's a "twister-client constructor kit". Even if what you do doesn't get merged upstream, who says we should all run the same client? Diversity is fun.

We're this close to the "read-only functionality milestone".

• db instead of cache
• Add "write" functionality (post, follow, etc.). Implement all [or most of] the functionality of standard/calm client.
• Additional features
• Insert here stuff I've overlooked
• Then we take Berlin

• CherryPy
• Pystache
• twitter-text-python

You also need tweaked versions of python-bitcoinrpc and functioncache but these are defined as git submodules, so install.sh takes care of them.

• Install dependencies mentioned above
• Run ./install.sh to create cherrypy.config and appdir.py
• Edit cherrypy.config (at least edit the user:pwd@ at rpc_url, but it's also recommended to uncomment and edit the browser_user and browser_password lines to enable basic authentication before someone develops a swizzler-specific trojan ;) )

• python swizzler.py
• It should say ENGINE Serving on 127.0.0.1:7919 (or whatever host and port you've defined at cherrypy.conf)
• Browse to that address
