I've written a basic program in python called glogger, it is a customisable, statically generated gemini blogging frontend, it's being used right now. It works by having two mysql tables called "users" which contains just two fields: userID and username, and "posts" which contains 6 fields: postID (PK), userID (FK), title, content, pubDate and editDate, whenever you create a new post, it will add a new record to the posts table and write that post to the gemini frontend. It has a few options in the configuration, to allow for differing formatting to change how the whole thing is generated. I am wanting to add a better text input field instead of the basic python() input, probably consisting of a vim buffer that gets sent to the python program, that could be great! I also want to add passwords for different users and modification of previous posts. # Setup ## Requirements: mysql-connector-python mariadb-client mariadb-server ## Database setup ``` CREATE DATABASE glogger; USE glogger; CREATE TABLE users ( userID INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL, username VARCHAR(255) ); CREATE TABLE posts ( postID INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL, userID INT, FOREIGN KEY(userID) REFERENCES users(userID), title VARCHAR(255), content TEXT, pubDate VARCHAR(255), editDate VARCHAR(255) ); ``` # TO DO * Add RSS and/or ATOM support * Make it more reliable?
