Blue Skies

Blue Skies is an automatically curated digest. It is originally made for air sports but can be used for any kind of digest.

Automatic curation

Blue Skies is based on Facebook pages to get new links. Trused facebook pages can be added to the database. A worker will then fetch new link from these pages regularly.

Setup

bundle install
createdb blueskies_development
rake db:migrate

Configuration

Several environment variables are needed. You can copy .sample.env into a .env file and tweak your configuration there.

Seeding

You can also add some interests:
