my web sandbox (ZODB + Bottle)

Alpha Web framework & sample mini CMS application with little dependencies: ZODB , bottle & markdown. Aims to be quite generic “all-in-one-but-minimalistic” web+database framework.

The main ideas behind

It should handle most of javascript, html & forms creation for you, for very fast prototype implementation.

Then you’r free to put your hands into html/css/js and customize to your precise requirements.

Goals

• Add features at ONE place in ONE language (html/css/js may be required for some advanced/custom usages)

• Be fast

• Ajax (ajaj in fact) - with nice fallbacks for old browsers

• No SQL

• Website: as simple as a nested dict-like objects tree, endpoints (last element of URL) are object’s properties & methods

• Make it as productive as possible for most generic tasks

Out of the box, it is something between a wiki and a cms, probably a good base for a lightweight web CMS / Intranet / Forum / etc…

Main Features

• Zope/Bluebream -like at micro-framework sauce

• Designed to be simple, little knowledge involved

• Automatic object edition’s form generation

• Multi-user with access control (group based)

• Very user friendly (once doc will be there…)

• Webpage edition live preview, client-side form validation

• Comes with some pre-developped objects:

  • folder index (sortable with D&D)

  • file (upload your own file, also allows D&D)

  • Web page ( markdown only )

  • Simple TODO list/TODOs (WIP)

  And of course special elements like Groups & Users ….

Issues

• no documentation yet

• not very well tested

• not very powerful yet
