This blog app is made catering for my own needs. When it comes to writing blog, maybe you have the same preference as me:
- You can write blog articles in markdown format and save them directly in filesystem, categorized by subdirectories.
- Attachments like images and code snippets can be saved along with the article.
- Article's last modified time is reflected by filesystem stats.
- Full text search is supported.
- You can view all artilce list, view article list by category, or view single article content. Article list can be displayed in infinite scrolling manner.
- All these features are provided by a set of backend API and a single-page app in frontend.
I hope you enjoy it.
This module works as a mounted subapp in a main express app. You can customized the url portion of the mount point. As an example, see https://github.com/seansoong/songjinshan.com_blog.git.
Besides npm install dependencies, you need install PhantomJS. This is a headless browser running on the server side for SEO. And you also need install Riak database and set its port to 8098. When the app starts up, all articles in filesystem will be updated to database to facilitate querying.
