Today I’ve decided to upgrade features of current blogging platform.

It’s called Journey

Based on GoLang it’s simple and get things done:

1. download release file
2. extract it and launch

Original Journey was abandoned by maintainer more than 10+ years, you can see it by GitHub Link

As result I’ve cloned sources to Codomari/journey and added few improvements:

1. Sitemap support (sitemap.xml)
2. Static files support (favicon.ico, robots.txt and etc, check contents/static folder)
3. Bugfix related slug case-sensitivity (which described here)
4. removed vendor folder for go modules support
5. switched from cgo based sqlite driver to pure golang driver

Why I did it?

I like this blogging tool, but I wanted features,
I did not wanted to move my blog to another platform,
I needed few things to be done - which I did myself.

I hope you’ll enjoy it.

P.S. In future posts I’m planning to write about developing full featured blog platform using Elixir stack.
This will help to share my knowledge with you through doing useful things.

Talk soon (:
