A full-stack Go Revel webapplication that enables users to create news articles and provides a platform for sharing them.

1. cd $GOPATH/go/src
2. git pull the project
3. Install dependencies (go modules are already handled with dep); just need to install the revel cli
4. Run the setup.sql script on an sql database with the name articles
5. Put a valid database user in DB_user.yaml file
6. Have fun and run with revel run
7. Note that this is the development code; it's not ready for production out of the box (some stuff may be tweaked in configs)

• Go Revel
• Go SQL Driver
• Go MySQL Driver
• MVC Architecture
• MySQL
• Godep for dependency management
• Go HTML Templates
• gomarkdown
• CSS Bootstrap
• JSON (integrated with revel)
• Moment.JS (imported on client-side with cloudflare min)
• YAML

• An Article template that has a grid for images, then allocates the rest of the space for text
• User would upload images to the grid portion and is currently able to write markdown text (uses markdown engine)/HTML; for now the user can just use html to upload images, can implement the uploading of images when I get access to a CDN
• Users, after creating news pages, submit them to the server, then have their article available to access as a path with the syntax: /article/:id/*title or /article/:id/
• Users are able to search through all created articles (uses an sql LIKE statement for now; if I want better search results and database scanning I can implement elastisearch) (search results are comprised of article previews that hyperlink to their corresponding articles)
• Database could use binary search to reduce time spent indexing the database server (unnescessary at this scale)
• Eventually would make a template design/creation system for aesthetic diversity among articles (unsure about this for now)
• Very nice interface utilizing html5, css3, and bootstrap
• REST API that serves json and is accessable with the routes: /api/article/:id/ or /api/article/:id/*title
• Articles, when loaded, show their timestamps in the users' local time (client-side UTC conversion with Moment.JS)

Working on it... (essential development version done)
