Thanks:

• Ivan Drinchev for 'monosocialiconsfont'
• Daniel Bruce for 'Entypo'
• Nicolas Gallagher for 'normalize.css'

River is an open-source social network feed agregation thing. In its current form its basically just a Twitter-like stream with support for your Instagram, GitHub and Dribbble accounts.

To make your own you'll need:

• A fork of this repo
• A Server running a recent version of Apache, PHP and MySQL
• A Database
• A Table (call this tbl_posts) (structure: id, service_id, datetime, category, service, data, attachment, permalink)
• Take a look at the tbl_posts.sql file for more information about table structure. I would suggest just executing this SQL statement to ensure proper configuration.
• A Twitter Developer account with Auth (If you want Twitter access)
• An Instagram Developer access token (If you want instagram access)
• Patience and a bit of dev skill

To edit the CSS without LESS, just delete the styles/styles.less file and edit the styles/styles.css file

Use Notes:

• Access tokens, keys, passwords, etc... All go in the pass.php file.
• In the /data/fetch.php file you'll see the four modules I've created so far. These modules are specific to each API and can be commented/deleted out. If you have suggestions of a better way to handle this (separate files and an options inclusion?) please let me know by opening an enhancement issue.
• I will try to provide as much support as possible to those trying to create their own, but of course it will be difficult given there's a lot of back end stuff going on.

Send me a tweet @davehariri if you succesfully make your own!
