PullUp

A website you join via pull request. See it live at http://pullup.io

What would it be like if every user of a site had contributed some code? Let's find out! Right now the site is little more than a terrible Hacker News type thing, but let's see if it can grow into something more.

How to join

Summary:

• Fork and set up project for development (see below)
• Add a feature, fix a bug, improve the design, etc.
• Add your GitHub username to the authorized users list.
• Submit a pull request! When we merge, you'll be allowed to log in.

Development Setup

Prerequisites: node and mongo.

# Fetch only the latest commits.
git clone [email protected]:larvalabs/pullup.git

cd pullup

# Install NPM dependencies
npm install

# Register a new application on GitHub (https://github.com/settings/applications) 
# Now that you have your application setup you can set the following environment variables:

export GITHUB_CLIENTID='CLIENTID'
export GITHUB_SECRET='SECRET'

Once those are set you can run the local development version:

node app.js

Lots more technical details here.

Using the Vagrant-based Development Environment

You'll need VirtualBox, Vagrant, and Ansible installed to use this environment.

Note: Windows users do not need Ansible installed. (A script will run and install Ansible on the guest machine for you)

Update the GitHub environment variables in vagrant/tasks/setup_app.yml

Fire up the Vagrant VM:

vagrant up

Ensure Ansible has run successfully and provisioned the boxes. If not, try again using vagrant provision

Then, ssh in and follow the installation steps:

vagrant ssh
cd /vagrant/
npm install
node app.js

Vagrant Development on a Windows Host

Windows lacks support for symlinks in synced folders. Use npm install --no-bin-links instead of npm install when installing.
