[![Build Status](https://api.cirrus-ci.com/github/wezm/Quotes.svg)](https://cirrus-ci.com/github/wezm/Quotes)

A small web app for quoting friends.

History

-------

When I was in university in the early 2000s I wrote a PHP app for my group of

friends to be able to log quotes from each other. These aren't so much profound

quotes but humorous ones.  The PHP app managed the user profiles and quotes in

a series of text files as a database was not available on the uni server that

hosted it.

In 2009 I imported the data into an SQLite database and built a new UI and

design for it in Ruby using [Sinatra], although this was a read-only version

of the original. That version is still present on [the ruby

branch](https://github.com/wezm/Quotes/tree/ruby)

Twelve years later I rebuilt the app again in [Rust] with [Rocket]. This time I

used the original markup almost verbatim for that genuine early 2000s feel.

Install/Run

-----------

1. Install Rust

2. `cp Rocket.toml.sample Rocket.toml`

### Run

    cargo run

### Creating the Initial DB

This is mainly for my own documentation since it imports from the old PHP

app:

    cargo run --bin import /path/to/quotes/files quotes.sqlite
