Metaphors rock.

How to submit your metaphor

Create a pull request with either your addition to an existing metaphor or your new metaphor in /metaphor in the following format:

---
title: Name of the Tech
...

<Definition source="SOURCE" href="LINK">
  DEFINITION AS QUOTED FROM THE SOURCE-- I RECOMMEND WIKIPEDIA.
  (MARKDOWN ACCEPTED)
</Definition>

<Metaphor id="SOME ID">
  <M4Title>TITLE OF YOUR MASTERWORK</M4Title>
  <M4Content>
    CONTENT OF YOUR MASTER WORK, (MARKDOWN ACCEPTED)
  </M4Content>
  <M4Author handle="YOUR HANDLE" href="LINK TO YOU" />
</Metaphor>

Markdown is accepted almost anywhere, even outside the tags themselves.

Hacky, Hacky

I've been in a bit of a hurry to get this together, so the code isn't the greatest (#movefast). All the same, feel free to take a look and suggest improvements.

Most of the legwork has been in trying to make the metaphor pages as simple to create and edit as possible. I've got a pretty hacky build script that auto links everything together, but one cool thing is using react-markdown to blend markdown and React, (yes, I'm crazy).

Anyways, let me know what you think. Cheers!
