Write.as

========

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/writeas/cmd.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/writeas/cmd) [![#writeas on freenode](https://img.shields.io/badge/freenode-%23writeas-blue.svg)](http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=writeas) [![Public Slack discussion](http://slack.write.as/badge.svg)](http://slack.write.as/)

This is a simple HTTP-based interface for publishing text. Users POST whatever they want to publish using the `w` parameter. When the request finishes, a URL is returned — this is the publicly-accessible address to the post on the web.

## Try it

```

echo "Hello world, by $USER" | curl -F 'w=<-' http://cmd.write.as

```

## Run it yourself

```

Usage:

  cmd [options]

Options:

  --debug

       Enables garrulous debug logging.

  -o   

       Directory where text files will be stored. If not supplied, will try to

       use database for storage (see Environment Variables).

  -s

       Directory where required static files exist (like the banner).

  -p

       Port to listen on.

Environment Variables:

  WA_USER

       Database user.

  WA_PASSWORD

       Database password.

  WA_HOST

       Database host. Default: localhost

  WA_DB

       Database name.

```

The default configuration (without any flags) is essentially the following line. **You'll need to supply the `-o` flag or database env variables to store posts**.

```

cmd -s ./static -p 8080

```

## How it works

The user's input is simply written to a flat file in a given directory. To provide web access, a web server (sold separately) serves all files in this directory as `plain/text`. That's it!
