Ghostwriter is a software for those that want a platform for article/blog editing and management, but don't want a predefined way to display it, with limited choice for themes (that never fit with your site), complicated APIs and a difficult configuration
This software gives you the control of how the posts are shown, offering a simple REST API for creating and showing them, along with a simple interface for managing them. We don't offer a way to show them, we let you do it at your way.
THIS SOFTWARE IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT
However, contributions are welcome 😄

- Clone this repository
- Create a virtualenv and enter it
- Run
pip install -e . - Set the
GHOSTWRITER_CONFIGenvironment variable to a configuration file. See 'Configuration' for more details - Run
FLASK_APP=ghostwriter flask initdb. This will create the database and the needed tables
To test, simply run flask with the FLASK_APP environment variable as ghostwriter.
You may want to run ghostwriter in a WSGI environment. Although isn't supported yet, I'd love some testing.
The '/' route contains a test message. In the future, that message will be removable
The default login is 'admin' with password 'admin'.
The login page is in the '/admin' entry point (usually localhost:5000/admin )
You can configure Ghostwriter options through a configuration file.
A sample named ghostwriter.cfg is located in the project folder, but it's name is controlled by the envvar GHOSTWRITER_CONFIG, and it's relative to the ghostwriter folder in this package. Recognized options are:
GHOSTWRITER_DATABASE: The database connection string
