# Wikindle
Wikindle is a quick hack to make reading and navigating
[Wikipedia](http://wikipedia.org)
on a [Kindle](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Kindle)
more comfortable.
It is hosted at [wikindle.org](http://wikindle.org) via
[Heroku](http://heroku.com).
It is written in [Ruby](http://ruby-lang.org)
using the [Sinatra](http://sinatrarb.com) framework.
## Installation
To make the feedback form work:
Create a Heroku app.
Install the *Sendgrid* add-on.
Set your email:
heroku config:add ADMIN_EMAIL=me@example.org
## Running locally
This is how I install it:
rvm install 1.9.2
rvm use 1.9.2
rvm gemset create wikindle
rvm use 1.9.2@wikindle
gem install bundler --no-ri --no-rdoc
bundle install
To be able to run it locally get your Sendgrid configuration:
heroku config
and create a `run` script (which is .gitignore'd), like this:
ADMIN_EMAIL=me@example.org \
SENDGRID_DOMAIN="wikindle.org" \
SENDGRID_PASSWORD="4fa6418571" \
SENDGRID_USERNAME="app123456@heroku.com" \
bundle exec rackup config.ru
