An ongoing experiment in displaying acausal parallelism. Built with Dashing.
This assumes development on Mac OS X. Things you should have installed are listed below with the easiest way to get them if you do not:
- Homebrew
$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
- Git
$ brew install git
Some sort of Ruby version manager is nice to have, but not necessary. I prefer RVM:
$ curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
If Terminal responds to brew and git (and rvm) continue on.
Clone the app and bundle:
$ git clone git@github.com:O-I/synchronicity.git
$ cd synchronicity
$ bundle install
Note that the app is configured to use Ruby 2.2.3 in production, but if you'd like to give it a try with your local version of Ruby, comment out the ruby '2.2.3' line in the Gemfile before running bundle install.
You'll need Twitter and Instagram keys for their respective widgets to work. Then create a .env file in the root that mimics the structure of .env_example using your development keys. You should also set the app's AUTH_TOKEN. You can generate one with Ruby using SecureRandom.uuid.
To start the server:
$ dashing start
Or, to run it using Puma:
$ gem install foreman
$ foreman start
Run dashing from the command line to find out what command line tools are available to you.
