Announcing Teh - the minimalist blog tool using Google App Engine

Nicely done ~ http://github.com/btbytes/teh/tree/master/webapp.py and shows just how versatile the framework is by the number of different libs being used. Bret still hasn't released his sample code ~ http://bret.appspot.com/entry/experimenting-google-app-engin... so this is good for users. The feed doesn't work. The best bit Bret showed was the decorator '@administrator'. My version uses webpy, sans disqus. Work on that some other time ~ http://seldomlogical.com

Thanks.

The feed is in Atom format. It works in Safari, but not in Firefox.

Feedvalidator tells me that the date does not follow RFC-3339. I'll fix that.

"... Feedvalidator tells me that the date does not follow RFC-3339 ..."

I've got the same bug on my todo list. For some reason the date string format works ok but doesn't render "T" & "Z"'s. Also liked the disqus integration which I have yet to work out. Have you got any idea how much more data per post the discussion adds?

"... The feed is in Atom format. It works in Safari, but not in Firefox. ..."

The reason why is you need a link tag per entry. For example:

  feed
   ...
   entry
     title
     id 
     updated
     link <link href='http://foobar.com/permalink'/>
     summary 
     content

the link bit was what I was missing so firefox goes to retrieve the link, finding it's not there fails. I just spent some time today fixing this myself.

i was thinking about writing one of those in a weekend on google app engine, well now i can move to step two or contribute i guess.

Don't let it stop you just choose a different framework or set of modules, show the code. More examples the merrier.

i agree, argh, but i have a few other things that i need to get out the door that i should b releasing to opensource. RegAPI stuff for SecondLife, a jQuery SettingsManager for OpenSocial, and a possible XUL extension for FF. When I get to GAE, i will post it, but for now its going to have to wait till a lull
