Cool, in that case I'll knock something up.

I'll try and make it realistic from the point of view of including many tasks that people generally want to do.

So I'll have it serve static files, read and write to a database, read a local config, cache stuff in memory, do something on a scheduled task basis, render templates.

Anything else anyone would like to see?

Not sure what I'll make that will require all of that, and I would like to keep it enough of a stub that people could rip out the example and quickly butcher it into whatever they wanted to prototype.

Maybe a code snippets site. I'm off out for the day, my first day off in 60 days, so I'll look at this tomorrow.




That much should be enough I think. Are you using the default templates ? I've seen that mustache has been ported to go.


Just got back from a long day away from the desk, will look at this tomorrow.

I'm thinking a good default would use the default templates (as they are good), memcached, PostgreSQL, have a config file in /etc (because no-one should be hard-coding their app, even if it's a quick thing) and I'll make some excuse to include the scheduled tasks as there is always an edge case need for them. I won't try and solve user login, I'll just use Persona.

It will be basic, but have a lot of simple components that people can delete out or extend depending on what they want to do.


Do you do i18n ? Other than that, seems to cover everything ! Cheers


Hah, not yet... this is really quick prototyping through to deployable something.

Once I've put it up, I'll accept pull requests... I'm sure there's enough people with small reqs that it could be knocked into shape enough to show how to do most things.


Sure, let me know when you put it on github. thanks !
