Yet another blog app? Well... I promise... this time it's different. alligator uses no database but its not static either: it grabs content from a GitHub repo on the fly. It's a tiny Flask app and really simple to deploy. Check it out here.
I wrote alligator for my personal use as a data scientist. I wanted to version control my blog content and write my posts in Markdown or directly as IPython-Notebooks. This makes blogging a pleasant experience and opened a bunch of possibilities.
All you need to do is:
- clone this repo on your PC
- tweak the settings.py to your liking
- deploy Flask to the Heroku of your choice
- create a GitHub repo for the contents
...and push your first post!
At this stage, it's just a proof-of-concept. I'm open to feedback, questions and/or pull-requests.
