## Deploying Your Own
I'd love it if you deploy your own version of this app! To do so currently will take some knowledge of how a webserver runs. If you want to give it a shot, there are a bunch of different ways to deploy. The main site runs on [Ubuntu](https://luckyframework.org/guides/deploying/ubuntu) but there are also directions for [Heroku](https://luckyframework.org/guides/deploying/heroku) or [Dokku](https://luckyframework.org/guides/deploying/dokku).
I'd love it if you deployed your own version of this app! A [few others](docs/instances.md) have already. To do so currently will take some knowledge of how a webserver runs. This app is built with the [Lucky framework](https://luckyframework.org) and there are a bunch of different ways to deploy.

One thing to note is that this app doesn't currently use a database. Any instructions around postgres can be safely ignored. Lucky (and it's dependency Avram) however does need a `DATABASE_URL` formatted for postgres. It doesn't need to be the URL of an actual database server though. Here's mine: `DATABASE_URL=postgres://does@not/mater`

Since Scribe uses Medium content, I don't want to help people engage with it more than they must. My goal here is not to make a nicer Medium to engage with, but to make a less bad experience when people are forced to engage with it. I want Scribe to be a tool, not a platform.
It's intentional that there is no way to browse content from a user, see popular posts, consume via an RSS feed, or see comments and "engage" with an article. I want to spend my time encouraging writers to move to worthy platforms, not making a bad platform worthy.

## Contributing
1. Install required dependencies (see sub-sections below)
1. Run `script/setup`
1. Run `lucky dev` to start the app
1. [Send a patch](https://man.sr.ht/git.sr.ht/#sending-patches-upstream) to `~edwardloveall/Scribe@lists.sr.ht` (yes that's an email address).
* To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about the send patch git workflow as opposed to the GitHub style pull request workflow. I'm trying it out for now. If you can't figure it out, get in contact and we can figure out a way to get your contributions in.
