Announcing Dacelo
[Posted by Urban Hafner on 15 Mar 2009]
With this post I’m announcing Dacelo. My personal Blog engine. It’s in its infancy right now but I hope to have a useable version in a few weeks (Yes, that long as I don’t have much time).
It’s mostly for my personal use as Typo is just getting to heavy and feature rich for me. That means that it’s goal is to be as minimal as possible and that it should only have the needed features, where needed is defined by me ;) The current feature list looks like this:
- Blog posts and comments
- Login via OpenID
- Textile formating of the posts
- Secure admin area (using https)
- Easy way to setup your blog as your OpenID URL (whatever the terminology for that may be)
- Tags and a tag cloud in the sidebar
- Highlighting for your code snippets
- Live preview of your edits on the posts
- Atom/RSS feeds for the blog and comments (and maybe for the comments on a blog post)
- Comment management (i.e. Spam protection, maybe Akismet support)
- And anything else that I’ve now forgotten and will “need”.
