It's not butter…margarine aims to be a zen (butter) web browsing experience. This tool adds features to an amalgamation of delicious, the social bookmarking application, and readability, the excellent web article renderer.
This project was created as a demo application for training purposes on cloud application design. It is not intended (but no one will be stopped) as a replacement for delicious and readability.
This package is stored in PyPI and can be installed the standard way:
pip install margarineThe latest release available is:
If you would prefer to clone this package directly from git or assist with development, the URL is https://github.com/raxsavvy/margarine and the current status of the build is:
Margarine has several coordinating applications that get installed and need to be running in order to provide all of the intended functionality:
- blend
The API daemon that provides the web service with the application logic and connects the frontend to the backend processors.
- tinge
The frontend for margarine that provides the web browseable interface to the application.
- spread
The backend daemon process that does non-interactive processing.
The tinge and blend processes can be deployed as a WSGI service if desired (it is written with flask) but also has a built in web service that can be used for small or development deployments.
The spread daemon is designed to work with start-stop-daemon to run in the background on a server. The spread daemon listens to a configurable message queue but can be configured to talk directly with the blend process.
A fully functional environment can be spun up by using vagrant:
