Stringer has no external dependencies, no social recommendations/sharing, and no fancy machine learning algorithms.

But it does have keyboard shortcuts and was made with love!

Stringer is a Ruby (2.0.0+) app based on Sinatra, ActiveRecord, PostgreSQL, Backbone.js.

Instructions are provided for deploying to any Ruby compatible Linux-based VPS, and to OpenShift.

You can access the keyboard shortcuts when using the app by hitting ?.

Wait a few minutes for changes to propagate.

Stringer has been translated to several other languages. Your language can be set with the LOCALE environment variable.

If you would like to translate Stringer to your preferred language, please use LocaleApp.

Run the Ruby tests with rspec.

Run the Javascript tests with rake test_js and then open a browser to http://localhost:4567/test.

To get started using Stringer for development you first need to install foreman.

gem install foreman

Then run the following commands.

bundle install
rake db:migrate
foreman start

The application will be running on port 5000.

You can launch an interactive console (ala rails c) using racksh.

Most of the heavy-lifting is done by feedjira and feedbag.
