Bamboo: a simple blog middleware on hack

Bamboo is a port of Panda, but runs on top of Hack. It's an experimental project but quite portable.

Features

plain text as data source

db
|---- blog
|     |---- 08-09-01 first post
|     |---- 09-09-02 learn javascript.html
|
|---- tag
|     |---- programming
|     |---- funny
|
|---- static
      |---- About

simple config

blog_title    = C大调
blog_subtitle = 野猫不吃薯片
host_name     = jinjing.easymic.com
author_email  = nfjinjing@gmail.com

navigation    = About
per_page      = 7
sidebar       = Blogroll.md
favicon       = bamboo_icon.png

hacker friendly

• posts are in plain text
• SCM for publishing / data managing ( not really a feature, but a design goal from the beginning )
• blindly follows the KISS principle from code to UI: be a simple blog, no more no less

Demo

blog

Jinjing's blog source is available as a git repo:

git clone git://github.com/nfjinjing/jinjing-blog.git

Or browser online

Note: This blog is using the Kibro handler. It's running under lighttpd and in fcgi. Definitely more robust, but require some set up work.
