Blog software written in Golang and designed to run on AppEngine Standard.
The goal is to use as many native AppEngine features as possible to keep things simple, lightweight and cheap. Not being portable is an explicit choice (although the data can always be exported). Sane defaults are used for as much out-of-the-box-ness as possible.

The Cloud SDK enables single-command deployment assuming that the correct configuration is selected. Review the documentation for full details.
By default all static files under the main package, as well as all required Go files are deployed. Using the app.yaml file it is possible to specify files to be ignored for deployment. The supplied configuration ignores the assets directory and any Markdown files in addition to the files ignored by default.
To deploy: ./deploy.sh
