Show HN: Matrix, a fast and flexible blogging engine

7 points by lispylol 12y ago

Still pretty rough ... Emphasizes: 1) Simple, no-frill dashboard for managing posts (files). 2) Lightweight markdown editor 3) Relationships: taxonomy (file tagging) and fast linking (content to other posts) Some of the important key bindings I have are ctrl+c for code, ctrl-L for linking text to other posts. Right now this is baked in but I'd want to allow users to customize it. It's still pretty beta but let me know what ya'll think! Here's the github page if you want to help out: https://github.com/keera/matrix

Why the hell would you put the new file into a popup that disables resizable? (additionally why the hell does chrome honor that brain dead option.)

  And additionally additionally why the hell is my Chrome detecting the popup as spam and blocks it?

I posted a text description but just found out that you can't post both in a submission. This is still in the very alpha stages but here are the main ideas of the project: 1) Simple, no-frill dashboard for managing posts (files). Once you're happy with a file you can publish it to your blog. 2) Key bindings (right now the only main ones are ctrl-c for code formatting and ctrl-l for linking). Eventually these will be completely user configurable. 3) Relational (not in the db sense): you can tag your files with labels and fast link text in your files to other files. Sorry about the confusion! You can find the source here https://github.com/keera/matrix https://github.com/keera/matrix

Growing very tired of trendy new apps that have no "about" link whatsoever -- just "login" and "sign up". Login and/or sign up for WHAT?! Edit: I mean, where are the screenshots? Feature lists? Information about WHO is providing the service/app? Et cetera...
