trumpocalypse-ui

Showing our slide

trumpocalypse-ui is a way of displaying data collected in a trumpocalypse data set.

This repo provides Jekyll template to display a collection of links. On its own it's just a data renderer, but if you have a Jekyll site you can use this data along with a data store to keep your own log.

Using trumpocalypse on Jekyll with this repo

These steps assume you have an existing Jekyll site. If you don't, GitHub pages is a great way to set one up.

1. Add trumpocalypse as a submodule within your _data directory

git submodule add https://github.com/Sagelt/trumpocalypse.git trumpocalypse

2. Add trumpocalypse renderer as a submodule wherever you'd like the page to live. For example, if you add the submodule under /pages, you'd run this command there.

git submodule add https://github.com/Sagelt/trumpocalypse-ui.git trumpocalypse

3. Update as often as you'd like

git submodule update --remote

Using trumpocalypse on Jekyll with your own repo

As above, but replace the repo links being added with your own repos.

Please send your pull requests! There's plenty of improvements to be made in the UI.

FAQ

WHY?

Some friends and I have a group chat where we share news stories. garykac had the great idea of hosting a page to collect all these things. It resonated with me because I'd heard advice to keep a log of changes to avoid the slow redefinition of 'normal' under Trump. I wanted to make something that could be merged easily so people can share what they find, so I expanded on garykac's idea.

Did you just reinvent CMS on git with static HTML and YAML?

Yep.

Why Jekyll/Git/YAML/Bootstrap instead of X/Y/Z?

I used stuff I like. I was more interested in creating a tool anyone could fork and host themselves than fancy CMS features.

Where can I see a live version?

I host a live version on my site which is also based on a git repo.
