h1. Eridu

A Sinatra blogging app for the classy developer. Though inspired by "Enki":https://github.com/xaviershay/enki, it tries to be even cleaner, while offering more features.

h2. Quick Start


git clone git://github.com/jhollinger/eridu.git eridu

cd eridu

bundle install    # Install all the required gems


# Copy and edit configuration files to taste

cp config/database.yml.template config/database.yml

cp config/eridu.yml.template config/eridu.yml

rake db:migrate   # Initialize or update the database

ruby eridu.rb     # Start the server at http://localhost:4567



h3. Deploying to Production

Same as above, except instead of _ruby eridu.rb_, do:


cp config/thin.yml.template config/thin.yml


bundle exec thin start -C config/thin.yml



h2. Philosophy

* Sinatra is perfect for this; Ruby on Rails is overkill

* /yyyy/mm/dd/post-title is a good URL for your posts

* Atom is a good publishing protocol

* Google does search better than you or I

* Disqus does comments better (or at least easier) than you or I

* You don’t need a plugin system when you’ve got a lean, clean code base

* This is just your blog - Basic Auth is good enough for the admin area

* Textile is awesome

* Everyone wants awesome media upload, a responsive layout, and syntax highlighting

* Few really want multiple sites, authors, skins and arcane templating languages

* You should be running Ruby 2.0 by now

Framework choices aside, Eridu differs from its progenitor, Enki, mainly in the number of bundled features. These include optional Disqus integration, a responsive layout, simple yet elegent media management, syntax highlighting, and themes (each theme is just a css file). While Enki leaves these "extras" as an exercise to the reader, Eridu pragmatically includes these de facto necessities.

h2. Syntax Highlighting with Coderay Plugin for Textile


# Single line

@[ruby]puts "It's ruby codez!"@


# Multi-line

bc[ruby].. puts "It's ruby codez!"

puts "and more"

puts "and more"

p. Back to a Textile paragraph



h2. Compatibility

Tested on MySQL, Postgres, and SQLite. Heroku should be possible, but is untested.
