Ruby-less version of Vox's meme generator

Statesman meme generator

The Statesman's meme generator is a lightly-modified fork of the Vox meme generator. It has been modified to work without Ruby (except Compass, which is required to run the build process).

Assets are now built using Grunt, which transpiles the SASS files and concatenates/minifies the JavaScript. We modified the app this way to make it more easily deployable on our internal infrastructure.

Deploying

Statesman images, fonts, etc. are currently in the app so you'll need to follow the steps below to customize the app for your use:

1. Edit the settings file at source/javascripts/settings.js.
2. Add any fonts you'll need at source/stylesheets/_fonts.scss.
3. npm install
4. Run grunt
5. Optional: Deploy to GitHub pages with git push origin master:gh-pages.
6. Open the index.html file (or your GitHub pages URL) in your browser and meme away.
