Would anyone use a command line blog platform?
I want to develop a blog platform for personal use that can manage your blog from the command line and I am curious if other devs would use it.
- tubbzor 14y agoI'd certainly be interested. I thought about this awhile back but never found the time to get anything going. If you end up going through with it post the Github link as I'd like to contribute.
- stevekemp 14y agoI publish my blog with chronicle, a static generator. In the past I also reviewed several of the popular static-site generators, many of which are designed for blogging: https://github.com/skx/static-site-generators https://github.com/skx/static-site-generators
- bigmoneyweb 14y agoSounds interesting, as a blogger, I'm certainly sure it will be useful. Go ahead with your plans:)
- damaru 14y agodefinitly yes! I used vimwiki some bit but lacked some menu and time functionality, although I am sure that it could be tweak to work like a great command line blog platform. But there are a lot of tool, that take .md files and create a static site with it. Which is a great start, where you could bind a deploy script that could be triggered from vim for example.
- stevekemp 14y agoThe hard part with these static-publishers is handling comments - without outsourcing to disqus, or similar.
- orangethirty 14y agoWhy not add the functionality to an existing platform? Its would be simpler and would grant you a bigger userbase.
- blazing_grey 14y agoShameless plug for my own solution, curmudgeon: https://github.com/lharding/Curmudgeon https://github.com/lharding/Curmudgeon So, yes. :)
- sente 14y agoYes
- pinks 14y agoPerhaps creating a command line interface for Tumblr / Posterous hosting would work. I wouldn't try to reinvent the hosting platform though, if that's what you're asking. Hosting one's own blog is trivial, and I'm willing to bet that your target audience is more likely to use a static site generator like Jekyll or Pelican.
