Obtvse 2
================

A clean and simple markdown blogging platform on Rails.

**[Demo](http://obtvse2.herokuapp.com) | [Demo Admin](http://obtvse2.herokuapp.com/admin)**

Username: username@example.com

Password: password

Whats New
=========

Obtvse 2 was rewritten entirely with a focus on being more user friendly, quicker, modern, and customizable.

**Features**
- Two new themes
- Easy addition of new themes and color schemes
- Built in user system with sorcery
- Support for Typekit fonts
- Turbolinks

**New Admin**
- New interface
- Live filter posts
- Post stats
- Split screen preview markdown that follows scroll position
- Full keyboard shortcut support

**Backend features**
- Slim templating
- Kramdown for markdown
- Coderay for syntax highlighting
- Bugfixes all over (still needs many more!)

Migrating
========

Obtvse 2 is compatable with obtvse's original database structure and migrations.  Migration is as easy as cloning this repo, pointing to your old database and running migrations.

TODO
====

Obtvse needs post history saving so you can mark versions of a post.  This would also allow for editing live posts without them updating live.
