A personal microblog that allows you to share a 'stream of snippets'—fragments of Markdown that you can append from the command line.

a stream of snippets

overview

This is a lightweight, static SolidJS app that tails an xs event stream. It publishes frames with the topic 'snippet' and displays them as Markdown fragments.

dev

$ git clone https://github.com/cablehead/stream-of-snippets.git
$ cd stream-of-snippets

# run the event stream in one window
$ xs serve ./store —expose :3021

# run vite in another window
$ deno task dev

# append a snippet in a 3rd window
$ echo "my first post" | xs append ./store snippet

vite.config.ts is configured to proxy /api/* to localhost:3021, to expose the event stream
