not half baked! almost well done. ;)

A small, self hosted, medium like python blogging toolset.

Medium like means that it mimics the style, UX, usabilty like inline editing ... using the great stuff out there like mediumish theme from wowthemes. The wonderful medium-editor.js which gives you the capability to edit the articles inline. The backend is served by PythonOnWheels. The superb tinyDB is used as a small simple, local full python DB.

Simple usage:

clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/pythononwheels/medium.py.git medium

Install the requirements:

pip install - r requirements.txt

start the server

python server.py

Thats it!

Everything else works online just as you know it from medium.

This is an impression of the article online edit mode:

You can see the inline medium like toolbar right there. You can also see that the selected text is currently formatted as H4. The code, pyhton and js buttons format code already prepared for highlight.js (right code class="", p and br removed ... after copy & paste)

This is the article admin view:
