Gamifiy your paper writing experiences!
This is a visualization website of the statistics generated by the python script in my other repository: paper-gamification. The main part of the visualization is done with the help of HTML <canvas> and several Processing.js scripts.
1) Deployment
At the moment, I use Heroku for deployment, but you should be able to deploy this app anywhere. For Heroku: clone this repository, register on Heroku and follow their instructions on how to deploy a rails app.
2) Setup
- Create and migrate the database
- Insert at least one paper. For example via rails console on Heroku:
heroku run rails console
Paper.create :title => "The Flux-Compensator"
-
Add Postmark for sending emails on Heroku heroku addons:docs postmark
-
Configure Postmark to use your email settings heroku addons:open postmark
-
If you want to use postmark locally as well: you have to set environment variables. To do this automatically, you can use foreman. Create a file with your settings:
bash -c 'echo "POSTMARK_API_KEY=heroku config:get POSTMARK_API_KEY" >> .env' bash -c 'echo "POSTMARK_SMTP_SERVER=heroku config:get POSTMARK_SMTP_SERVER" >> .env' bash -c 'echo "POSTMARK_INBOUND_ADDRESS=heroku config:get POSTMARK_INBOUND_ADDRESS" >> .env'
and start your rails instance with foreman start
- Use that so-created paper ID when starting the paper-gamification python script.
Plese feel free to contribute! I'm rather new to open source publishing ;)
