Indieweb static site generator

Skein is a static site generator that hosts micropub and webmention endpoints. It implements the PURR pattern to reuse the published HTML + microformats as its own content store. The back-end is modular, and can publish static content to Amazon S3, Github, or local filesystem (for serving with the built in web server).

Usage

node build/server.js <config.json> [-i]

-i will start the server in "interactive mode" launching the REPL. See example-configs/ for examples of config files.

TODO: document REPL usage and config options

Quick start

Skein isn't production ready, but if you want to try it out, this will get you started. You will need node >= 4.0.

git clone https://github.com/notenoughneon/skein.git
cd skein
npm install
npm run build

This will run the typescript compiler and build the javascript files. You can ignore the warnings. Next run the e2e test with:

node_modules/.bin/mocha build/test/e2e

This will populate an example site under build/test/static. You can run a server hosting these files with:

DEBUG=* node build/server.js test/config.json -i

and point your browser to localhost:8000. To create a post from the repl:

site.publish({content: 'hello world!'})

Note, if you don't have typings, tsc, or mocha installed globally, you should be able to run them from node_modules/.bin.
