hackercouch

HackerCouch is "Hospitality for Hackers". Here's how it goes:

Fork this repo
Add your own markdown file with your nick (perhaps twitter/github handle?) in the _couches directory
You file a Pull Request on github
Make sure the build passes
Go check hackercouch.com the next time you are travelling.

See add.md for more detailed instructions.

The idea isn't new, it has been tried before as well. The reason we are trying this again is:

The idea of a Fork->PR->Merge->Publish flow with almost zero effort
Filing a pull request is a great filter for hackers
hackercouch.com was available

Development

See [HACKING.md]

Quickstart

You'll need to have Ruby and Bundler setup.

bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve --watch

And open http://localhost:4000 in your browser.

Troubleshooting

If your bundle fails due Nokogiri and you're on OSX, try running this first: xcode-select --install
