Mikko Ahlroth c733b37389 Use totally new build system written in Elixir

This allows for fewer npm dependencies and fewer packages to handle (some
of the currently installed babel packages are for possible future use).
Hopefully the new build style is more explicit even though it is more
verbose. Both building in dev and prod mode and watching is supported.

Raw Blame History

Mebe

Mebe -- the Minimalistic Elixir Blog Engine -- is a simple blog engine written in Elixir, using the Phoenix Framework.

The engine consists of two parts:

MebeEngine, which handles parsing the data files into an ETS (Erlang Term Storage) in-memory database, and
MebeWeb, which uses the Phoenix Framework to serve the blog data to clients.

Installation for development

git clone
Copy config/*.exs.dist, removing the .dist ending and go through the configs.
npm install && mix frontend.build to build the frontend.
Put some content into the data path you specified, at least a menu file.
mix phoenix.server to run the development server.
