# TMC2

TMC2 is a minimalist quote gathering tool. It has been written to replace an

hosted service, tropmignon.com, which has closed.

It lets you add and browse quotes (or any other short texts).

It explicitly does not support:

- markup

- images

- authentication

- multiple authors

- comments

It looks like this:

## Translations

TMC2 is currently available in French and English.

## Setup

TMC2 depends on Python, Sqlite, Peewee, Flask, Jinja, Arrow and Babel.

To give it a try:

1. Run `make` to create a virtualenv with the required dependencies and

   compile translations

2. Run `make run` to start the app using Flask web server on

   

By default the database is in `/tmp/tmc2.db`. You should create a configuration

file to define another location. You can then run TMC2 with this other

configuration file by defining the `TMC2_CONFIG` environment variable.

For example:

    $ echo "DATABASE = /var/lib/tmc2.db" > /etc/tmc2.py

    $ echo "HOST = '0.0.0.0'" >> /etc/tmc2.py

    $ make run TMC2_CONFIG=/etc/tmc2.py

Look at  for other configuration options you can define.

There is also a Dockerfile for the project.

## quoteimport.py

The `quoteimport.py` tool in the `app` directory lets you import quotes from a

JSON file. The JSON file must have the following format:

    {

        "quotes": [

            {

                "date": "date-in-iso8601-format",

                "text": "quote text"

            },

            //...

        ]

    }

(This format matches the JSON export format of tropmignon.com)

## Bundled components
