blog/reblog
blog/reblog aims to provide a platform for folks with strong interests to write at length about them. do you like getting in-depth with things and talking about them? are you a huge nerd about something you want to write about? then it's for you, whatever your interests are.
that's the "blog" in blog/reblog, but it's not just that. you can't write in a vacuum. everyone who writes has to read; books, blogs, anything. the reblogging is sharing and responding to each other's words, providing not just more to think and write about, but the inspiration to do it.
so in sum: blog/reblog gives you a place to write, and lots of reasons to do it.
installation and usage
right now, installation is a bit complex, as is usage. it's still in pre-alpha -- it'll probably stay frustrating for a little while.
because it's just a library for now, you need a working rust development environment, because you'll be writing some code. create a new rust binary with the right dependency:
# create a directory to hold your blog
cargo new --bin my-blog
cd my-blog
# add the blog-reblog dependency
cargo add breb
then you can "configure" it by writing a main.rs
that looks like:
use breb::quick::*;
fn main() {
boilerplate(blog);
}
fn blog(in_dir: std::path::PathBuf) -> FinishedBuilder {
Blog::builder()
.base_dir(in_dir)
.base_url("https://genderphas.ing/")
.name("genderphasing")
.author(Author::new("nic; genderphasing").email("nic@genderphas.ing"))
.serve(AsIs::new("/s/", "s/"))
.serve(Posts::new("/posts", "posts/")
.nav("about", "/about")
.nav("archive", "/archive")
.nav("atom", "/feed.xml"))
.serve(Pages::new("/", "pages/")
.nav("about", "/about")
.nav("archive", "/archive")
.nav("atom", "/feed.xml"))
.serve(Feed::atom("/feed.xml"))
}
for now, for details about what your options are, check the api reference. eventually, expect to see docs here.
once you've configured it like that, you can run it easily:
cargo run
this being a normal rust binary, you can add as much other functionality as you want: custom web-based or native guis, robust command-line arguments, etc.
project planning
...all occurs on my website. currently, as i'm the only developer, it's a read-only page.
