Welcome to Filo

===============

Filo is a simple application to store links to stuff on the web that you want to read later.

Yes, it's been *heavily* inspired by Instapaper, and I wrote the version just a few weeks after Instapaper's launch as a means to investigate a few alternatives in shaping the user experience. 

Recently I decided to rewrote the application and move it to Heroku. You can find the current version at:

http://filo.bzaar.net

While at it, I also thought to open source it, so here it is.

Things you may find interesting here:

-------------------------------------

* fully localized, using Rails i18n framework

* iPhone interface, powered by jqTouch

* Heroku ready

* uses Devise for authentication.

* Cucumber stories covering a good deal of the application's features.

Getting started on Heroku

-------------------------

These are the steps if you want to install your own copy of Filo in the cloud:

    $ git clone http://github.com/bru/filo.git

    $ cd filo

    $ heroku create

    $ git push heroku master

    $ heroku rake db:migrate

TODO 

----

* a lot. I have plenty of stories left in the icebox. Look this space for changes. On the other hand, feel free to fork and creovate.
