As part of the never-ending quest for the perfect blog system,
I have been trying Publify (formerly Typo, which I used 7 or 8
years ago).
Two questions:
1. Is anyone willing/able to help me with a Publify issue? Remember,
I'm not a Rails guy.
I'm seeing a weird problem where the content I enter is
actually *repeated* when I view the blog entry. If I type an
entry of six paragraphs, it is displayed as twelve paragraphs.
Probably a misconfig on my part.
I did try reaching out to the Publify community -- it may be almost
dead? No replies even in IRC.
2. Two of my requirements are: I *do* want comments, and they have
to be self-hosted (no Disqus). So I'm looking at maybe a combo of
a static site (Jekyll?) and the e-comments gem by skx.
Does anyone have experience with a solution like that?
I’ve been using nanoc[1] for setting up a static HTML site, and for
comments I have just hacked together a super-simple plain old CGI script
in Ruby. No external dependencies for the comments, just plain Ruby
stdlib, as the cgi library has shipped with Ruby since eternity[2]. I
guess you could do something similar.
I’d rather not share the code of my CGI script, though, because it’s of
a really bad quality...
Code using the CGI lib is almost guaranteed to be ugly.
If you wish, you can share it with me privately...
I've thought about this as well. I'm just torn (as usual) between
reinventing the wheel to get "what I really want" and using a
canned solution "to get it running sooner."
Thanks,
Hal
