Hello folks,
We announce the first version of Bloggy, a blog engine.
While
working on Riki (http://smart-engines.dyndns.org/riki) we at
smart-engines have decided to invest some time investigating how to make
as easy as possible to plug Rails Engines into existing applications.
Result of the research has been the article "Rails Engine: reusable
components" (http://cicio.org/articles/engines_isolation) and its
companion example program that has evolved into the today announced
Bloggy 0.1.0.
Bloggy
main reason to exist is to act as a guinea pig for studying how to
achieve better integration between engines and already existing Rails
applications.
For this reason we needed it to be quite simple, and while it is a
perfectly usable Engine, the main reason to make it public is to collect
as much feedback as possible about the isolated engines idea.
You can find more information on Bloggy at
http://smart-engines.dyndns.org/bloggy
Bloggy features currently:
* Posts with author and timestamp.
* Comments visible by post and sorted by time.
* Textile syntax supported for both posts and comments.
* Multiple nested categories.
* Info: The author and timestamp of both posts and comments are shown.
The timestamp of the comments is relative to the one of
the referring post.
It will be extended with:
* RSS 1.0 a/o 2.0
* File upload
* Authentication at category level.
* Better posts/categories/comments management enabled by authentication.
* Search functionality (to come very soon)
Any feedback is warmly welcome.
Enjoy,
Mauro
