API

There is a public API available away at http://api.briefly.co.nz/v1/articles.json. We'd love to see it used for something.

Roadmap

• Extract the public and private controller logic into an Articles controller
• Add in functionality for more admin user accounts
• Smart scraper to create article drafts
• Public API
• Link-shortening and analytics via brfly.com
• Twitter publishing
• Facebook publishing
• Caching layer
• Drag and drop ordering of articles
• Editor dashboard fed by scrapers
