Requirements

For Development

• Go programming environment
• Redis (v7+)
• Only tested on Linux

To Run

• Redis (v7+)
• Only tested on Linux
• No binaries provided (yet)

Instructions

Clone the repo, and run the following (assuming redis is running on the default port):

go mod init example.com/m/v2
go mod tidy
chmod +x autoload.sh
./autoload.sh WallBoard 4534

Now visit http://localhost:4534 and add some posts:

example.webm

Road map

I plan on forking this to add tags, search, and user accounts, I'll post the fork here when I do. It'll be a re-write of https://tagmachine.xyz, one of my other projects.

Development

• autoload.sh re-compiles and restarts the program. Run this file on save in your editor. For vim, I use :au BufWritePost * silent! execute "!./autoload.sh wallboard 4534" | call timer_start(200, { tid -> execute(':redraw!')})
