gnar

Goals

• Take the functionality of a site like Lobsters or HN and strip it down to its essence.
• Add functionality to fit how Bendyworks uses awesome
• Make it super mobile friendly
• (someday) send daily digest emails automatically instead of having comment threads. (See: awesome_digest)

Technical stuff

• Hoplon and Castra on Ring
• HoneySQL for Postgres database
• Boot for tasks
• friend is used for its bcrypt wrapper, but is not used as the authentication system.

User auth inspired by tailrecursion/hoplon-demos
