Because the world needs another blog...
Filed under: pentropy breve pylons blogOkay, maybe it doesn't. But I do. Fed up with Bitakora, I cracked down and started a blog from scratch (well, building on Splee's SimpleBlog tutorial - mostly for the SQLAlchemy tips).
What you see here is the first basic incarnation of it. It's built using Pylons, Breve and SQLAlchemy. Not that it's required, but it also happens to have PostgreSQL living underneath of it.
This is also my second small Pylons application (the first being the Breve site). This also makes it the second live Breve site in existence (that I'm aware of). This is actually much of the reason I'm doing it: I need to learn Pylons and I need to test Breve on real applications (I'm already seeing features that would make life a bit simpler).
Anyway, I've got a lot to do but my basic goals are as follows:
- Very basic blog core - no Javascript. No web 2.0. Nothing but posts, comments and tags (and a few themes).
- Plugins (for adding all the stuff explicitly excluded in #1).
- One-off pages (e.g. "About", "My Projects")
- Admin interface.
- Multiuser
Of these, #1 is around 90% finished. #2 is in exploratory testing. #3 will take all of an hour. #4 and #5 are pipe-dreams for now.
Some of the first plugins I have in mind are:
- Threaded comment system.
- Gallery
Oh, and as you can see, the blog is named "Pentropy". I'll have a site/trac/svn up for it soonish.
