pd

This powers pauldariye.com, built using micro and deployed on now.

The inspiration for this comes from the native behavior you get when deploying static directories using now. Under the hood, they make use of the serve library.

I reused a lot of the code from this awesome library micro-gallery. Inspiration also came from @rauchg 's blog and work with the Zeit team.

Check out other awesome things others have built using micro.

Usage

Development

Install and run:

git clone git@github.com:pauldariye/pd.git
cd pd && yarn
yarn start

Visit http://localhost:3000

Deployment

Use the single command to deploy with now. You may need to install this package on your machine.

Architecture

The entire "app" is one function that routes using the url property on the req object. It is as basic as they come.

Directories

Every directory in the root of our site, in my case _pd is included in the directory listings unless it is blacklisted.

Posts

Posts are generated on the fly from any file in a directory with the .md extension to html using showdownjs and injected into the page markup using the template found in ./views/index.hbs.

Future plan

Just like @andreasmcdermott 's micro-gallery lib, I would like to make this a tool available to anyone. The goal is to be able to host a site like mine on pretty much any environment that supports markdown. Just like my site, you will be able to read your blog posts on GitHub, the web, or any place else. I would like to call it micro-site.
