Bare Bones Blogging
I’m working on two sites for two unrelated projects, both in Django, both essentially blogs with Podcasts.
To that end, I started pulling models and general code from Tastebud and decided that it was an alright bare-bones blogging tool. So, I slapped a license on it and uploaded it to Google Code. It’s unusable currently, but if you’re interested, keep an eye on it. It’ll be a good exercise in trying to keep software general enough that it can be used by other people, while not so general that it takes hours to get running.
This is a crowded space, no one really needs more blogging software. I’m not trying to serve a market, I’m really just serving myself. Django is easy enough to use that blog software is almost easier to hand-roll than it is to use someone else’s project. That said, I liked ubernostrum’s recent release of Django Snippets source on Google Code so I figured I’d follow suit.
