== Tumbline, the tumblelogging engine that wants to be

Tumbline is a tumblelogging engine I began to work on but never finished, and probably never will, so I'm releasing it so that maybe someone else will find it usefull.

It supports:
A polymorphic number of post-types (text,links,quotes,photos,chats so far)
Liquid templates for each tumblelog
multiple sites/tumblelogs
Handy bookmarklet
XML API
… And a few other half-baked features

It doesn’t have:
A good design
Optimized queries (refactoring of model relations is probably needed)
Complete UI
Complete setup of useful template tags/filters/methods

=== Templates

A basic main layout template would look something like this:

    <html>
        <head>  
            <title>{{ tumblelog.title }}</title>  
        </head>  
        <body>  
            {% for tumble in tumblelog.tumbles %}  
                {{ tumble | render }}  
            {% endfor %}  
        </body>  
    </html>

And some templates for the different post types (see the ./app/drops/* dir for other methods they support):

Text:

    <div class="text">
        <h3>{{ post.title }}</h3>  
        {{ post.body }}  
    </div

Quote:

    <div class="quote>
        <blockquote>{{ quote.body }} </blockquote>  
    </div>

Link:

    <div class="link>
        <a href="{{ link.url }}">{{ link.title }}</a>  
    </div>

Chat:

    <div class="conversation">
        <h3>{{ conversation.title }}</h3>  
        <ul>  
            {% for line in conversation.lines %}  
            <li><strong>{{ line.user }}:</strong> {{ line.uttering }}</li>  
            {% endfor %}  
        </ul>  
    </div>

Since the app was initially built to run on the tumbline.com domain, you’ll need a /etc/hosts entry for “www.tumbline.local” (and any subdomain.tumbline.lcoal you wish to see) mapped to 127.0.0.1.

http://www.tumbline.local:3000/account/new to create an account (check the log for the mail with the activation code in dev mode)
http://www.tumbline.local:3000/tumble to login and tumble something

Enjoy, and let me know if you do anything useful with it!
