lipu-sitelen

Small, simple, blog platform. Share writing easily, comment easily.

Initial Thoughts

Critical features include

Markdown support,
import/export of all data through JSON,
comment support
- with captchas
- and moderation features (not requiring an account).
Backup feature.
Automatic update feature.
HTML in Markdown allowed without exception since it should ONLY be trusted content.
- Gotta make it very clear that it assumes anyone with posting permission is trustworthy..
- though maybe make HTML content a trust-level permissions thing.
- NOT FOR COMMENTS, COMMENTS DO NOT GET HTML
  - comments should also probably be prevented from including headers? no, the site styling can make the difference clear

other features

Footer customization.
Archives pages.
Categories
Tags
Post / Page customization settings? Like wrapping things in an article tag or not.

I briefly thought about calling it lipu pona, but I'll reserve using that name for something better.

Dev Environment

I ran into weird issues trying to get this started.. so in case I need to figure this out again:

luarocks install lapis --local OPENSSL_DIR="$(brew --prefix openssl@3)" CRYPTO_DIR="$(brew --prefix openssl@3)"
brew trust openresty/brew
brew install openresty/brew/openresty --without-geoip

Also had to add export PATH=$PATH:/Users/tangent/.luarocks/bin to .zschrc to deal with LuaRocks not handling things correctly. -.-
