A blog, but we're going backwards!
- Self-hostable
- Single binary
- Markdown content
- Managed via the command line
- SQLite
go install git.glotchimo.dev/golb
There are a lot of really awesome, fully-featured blog platforms out there, many of which enable creators to distribute content and monetize it really easily, but because I can and want to, I decided to write my own (yet another) blog engine that's as simple and dumb as possible.
Golb is a SQLite-using, Markdown-rendering, blog engine written in Go and managed via a CLI that allows you to write content and then post it, and that's about it.
Here's a little quickstart to get things going:
$ echo "# My First Post" > my_first_post.md
$ golb mk -t "My First Post" -g random,writing -p my_first_post.md
posted my_first_post.md to localhost/cdlhlm28ra5ccqkpjddg
$ golb up
Run golb for this dialogue:
Usage: golb <CMD> [OPTS]
CLI for hosting and managing a golb blog
Commands:
up Host the server
mk Make a post
mk List posts
dl Download a post
ed Edit a post
rm Remove a post
Each subcommand has its own help dialogue that you can see by adding -h.
- Add an rm command for content removal
- Add a dl command for downloading a post into a file
- Add an ed command for editing posts
- Add an ls command for listing all posts
- Actually host something
- Render Markdown into HTML
- Add logging
- Add header links for shareability
- Make an FS-backed version?
