Sinatra Example Blog

This is a good example of structuring a Sinatra app. Feel free to clone it, browse the source, customize it and use it as your own blog.

Good examples of the following:

• Using Sinatra routes as middleware
• GZip and caching
• RSS feed of posts
• Sprockets and asset management
• Markdown and Erb
• Unicorn and Heroku
• Stylus

Pre-Install

brew install memcached brew services start memcached

Running

bundle install bundle exec thin start

Special instructions

Example:

test_flag=hi bundle exec thin start
