This repository contains my open source reading list. I keep track of books editing the files here and the results are automatically published as a website at http://bamos.github.io/reading-list.
- Plaintext and friendly data format.
- Minimal hosting and deployment overhead.
- Offline editing support.
- Linux and OSX. Windows should also work with Cygwin, but I haven't tried. Please file any issues related to this.
- YAML data.
- GitHub Pages hosts and automatically deploys a 100% client-side website that can also be edited offline. Bower manages 3rd party library dependencies used on the site, stored in bower.json.
- Fork or copy the contents of this repository into a new GitHub repository.
Make sure the default branch is set to
gh-pagesfor deployment. At this point, you should be able to see my site hosted at.http://<your-github-name>.github.io/reading-list - Update the data and personalize index.html. Push your changes to GitHub to see them immediately on the new site.
- Replace links to http://bamos.github.io/reading-list with your URL.
Most browsers will not be able to open index.html directly
from the filesystem because the js loads YAML resources.
One workaround is to use start a simple Python static
web server with python2 -m SimpleHTTPServer
and access the website with localhost:8000.
Run bower update to obtain the dependencies in bower_components.
Run ./update-vendor-deps.sh
to copy the necessary portions into vendor.
The scripts directory contains Haskell and Ruby scripts to select random books and quotes from data/finished.yaml.
The Goodreads Ruby script by @seanosaur uses Goodreads' API to import books into data files. Please follow their ToS and add appropriate references to Goodreads if this is used.
