A small web app for quoting friends.
When I was in university in the early 2000s I wrote a PHP app for my group of friends to be able to log quotes from each other. These aren't so much profound quotes but humorous ones. The PHP app managed the user profiles and quotes in a series of text files as a database was not available on the uni server that hosted it.
In 2009 I imported the data into an SQLite database and built a new UI and design for it in Ruby using Sinatra, although this was a read-only version of the original. That version is still present on the ruby branch
Twelve years later I rebuilt the app again in Rust with Rocket. This time I used the original markup almost verbatim for that genuine early 2000s feel.
- Install Rust
cp Rocket.toml.sample Rocket.toml
cargo run
This is mainly for my own documentation since it imports from the old PHP app:
cargo run --bin import /path/to/quotes/files quotes.sqlite
