Speedwagon is an experimental developer centric blogging tool written in .NET core.

This is just an expeirment, it isn't particularly production ready.

Goals and objectives are:

• Database Free
• Non pescriptive - in terms of JS CSS, frameworks
• Highly/Easily Scalable
• Simple content deployments (using flat files)
• Easy content and configuration versioning

This is a port of the .NET project I wrote and blogged about a few years back. It had been ported to .NET core and has a very basic UI for editing content and content types - with the goal of making it easy to develop a blog platform that .NET develops find easy to spin up and work with.

• Easily add content management to a .NET core app
• Separate the runtime and content editing parts of the application
• Manage content and content type configuration in a UI or on the filesystem
• Version content and configuration using GIT or similar
• Easily add custom editors (fields in which you add content)
• Low barrier to entry - use the client side dependencies of your choice

After cloning the repository

• Change into the SpeedWagon.Web.UI
• Run npm install
• Run gulp build
• Run the SpeedWagon.Web.UI from within Visual Studio

I'm happy to add more documentation - just raise an issue here.

I'll hopefully get around to adding some demos, screencast soon.
