# Proverbs

A JFF SPA viewer of a collection of ancient and modern proverbs.

Uses lunr.js for the FTS. Doesn't contain any server-side code. A
usual, dull Angular app.

## Why?

I needed a way to search through 'wisdom' proverbs solely for the
purpose of trolling on Facebook. It turns out, many take such noncence
('ancient sayings about love', omg) at face value.

If you'd like to add a missing proverb, edit `src/misc.txt`, then go
to the temporal directory and type:

$ make -f PATH_TO_THE_SOURCE/proverbs/main.mk NODE_ENV=production

(iojs 2.x & bower are required.)

The directory `release/src` will contain full, ready to deploy, SPA
code. rsync it to a directory that is served by any HTTP static
server.

## Bugs

* Sometimes UI may seem unresponsive because Angular freaks out at the
amount of data.

## License

MIT.

The file `src/jrs.txt` in an extract from the book _The Routledge Book
of World Proverbs_. In theory the text in the file should be
copyrighted because of "No part of this book may be reprinted ...",
blah-blah, but all proverbs are naturally in public domain, unless we
consider a translation as a derivative work (for example, there are
Chinese proverbs there). Nevertheless, I _think_ it's the same as to
claim a copyright on Beowulf poem because you've printed it on a shiny
paper.
