How to use this Blog Engine

When I began this project I wanted to start a programming blog, but found most of the frameworks to be overly complicated or have features I did not want or need. Maybe I just wanted an excuse to learn ReasonML ✨.

Get started

Install node v10

yarn

touch .env

Add your aws keys

# .env
AWS_ACCESS_KEY=
AWS_SECRET=
BUCKET_NAME=

cd posts
touch Welcome.md

posts.json looks like

[
  {
    "id": "1",
    "file": "Welcome.md",
    "title": "Welcome"
  }
]

Welcome.md can be any markdown.

to make your posts public run

yarn run add-posts

This will upload all your posts to s3

Run project locally

yarn run start

yarn run server

Deploy changes to code base

yarn run publish
gaa
git commit -m"publish"
git push

Configure github pages to use the master branch.
