g0v.today

NOTE: This is a fork of https://github.com/hackfoldr/hackfoldr optimized for one static page; please send your pull requests upstream.

Why?

We need a way to organize many dynamic documents before and during hackathon.

The shared folder feature in google docs comes very close to what we want, but as every document is opened in edit mode, it soon becomes unusable. It is also impossible to sort the items and we had to use numeric prefix to achieve that.

Hackpad collections are great too, but we also want to include spreadsheets as one of the item types.

So we build this small single-page static web application that reads a list of url from an EtherCalc document, rendering it in a way similar to a google docs folder. If the document supports read-only mode, we use that by default when it is opened by the user, and provide an additional edit link.

For example, with an index like http://ethercalc.org/g0v-hackath2n, you'll get http://hackfoldr.org/g0v-hackath2n/BfddbG2JBOi

Supported document types

  • Google Docs
  • Google Spreadsheets
  • Google Prensetation
  • Google Drawing
  • Hackpad
  • EtherCalc

Prerequisites

On Mac, use Homebrew and install gems in $HOME:

$ brew install node
$ gem install compass --user-install
$ export PATH="$HOME/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin:$PATH"

On Mac, use Homebrew and install gems in local directory: (doesn't work)

$ brew install node
$ export GEM_HOME="$PWD/gems"
$ mkdir -p $GEM_HOME
$ gem install compass
$ export PATH="$PWD/gem/bin:$PATH"

Install

% npm i
% npm run start

Then after the building message completes, connect to http://localhost:3333/.

Using vagrant to develop

Vagrant provides easy to configure, reproducible, and portable work environments.

To use vagrant, you need to install:

  • vagrant (> 1.1.x)
  • virtualbox

To setup up work environment:

% vagrant box add g0v https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4339854/g0v/g0v-ubuntu-precise64.box
% vagrant up

After vagrant up, browse http://localhost:6987/ in your favorite browser. You are all set!

Google API key

To use the google APIs client to query YouTube Data API and check live status of Youtube videos, you need to apply your own Google API Key for browser applications at https://code.google.com/apis/console#:access. After getting your API key, commit it into app/config.jsenv
