newblog is my second attempt at a fully client-side generated blog, this time using nanoc and Bootstrap instead of jekyll and a homegrown CSS template.
I neglected to update this section for far too long. Content management works, CSS generation has been removed because stock Bootstrap with a few overrides in a local CSS are more than enough.
The kramdown-based rendering engine and associated plugins are gone, I switched to GitHub's own redcarpet. Couldn't be happier about the switch, as I'm now free to relicense the infrastructure under a less asinine license.
Almost everything in the content directory is strictly personal (even though
CC-licensed) - if you intend to fork this repo please edit all pages,
footers and the like and remove all posts.
- a recent version of Ruby with RubyGems (rbenv is your friend)
- Bundler
- Twitter RECESS and associated dependencies (that means node.js et al.)
- a text editor (other than Emacs)
- a shell
Writing skills are entirely optional ;-)
RVM is absolutely NOT supported anymore and you shouldn't use it.
The absolute minimum supported version of Ruby is the MRI 1.9.3 interpreter. It may work with other versions or interpreters, but YMMV.
Issues with non-MRI interpreters will be summarily closed as wontfix.
Since I'm not using RVM anymore (and you shouldn't too), you need to install
the gems locally using bundle install --path vendor/bundle. Every command
must be prefixed by bundle exec.
If you have better alternatives that wouldn't trample over my rbenv shims directory, please open an issue and let me know.
- anything capable of serving static files which isn't WEBrick or worse
Yep, that's it.
All code of newblog used to be licensed under the terms of GPLv3 to avoid any legal trouble concerning the use of kramdown's API in some files.
Since I excised kramdown from the rendering pipeline, the code is now licensed
under a saner 2-clause BSD (you can read it in LICENSE).
All content is licensed under CC-BY-3.0.
It exists: that's an issue unto itself.
