TMC2 is a minimalist quote gathering tool. It has been written to replace an hosted service, tropmignon.com, which has closed.

It lets you add and browse quotes (or any other short texts).

It explicitly does not support:

• markup
• images
• authentication
• multiple authors
• comments

It looks like this:

TMC2 is currently available in French and English.

TMC2 depends on Python, Sqlite, Peewee, Flask, Jinja, Arrow and Babel.

To give it a try:

1. Run make to create a virtualenv with the required dependencies and compile translations
2. Run make run to start the app using Flask web server on http://localhost:5000

By default the database is in /tmp/tmc2.db. You should create a configuration file to define another location. You can then run TMC2 with this other configuration file by defining the TMC2_CONFIG environment variable.

For example:

$ echo "DATABASE = /var/lib/tmc2.db" > /etc/tmc2.py
$ echo "HOST = '0.0.0.0'" >> /etc/tmc2.py
$ make run TMC2_CONFIG=/etc/tmc2.py

Look at <app/config.py> for other configuration options you can define.

There is also a Dockerfile for the project.

The quoteimport.py tool in the app directory lets you import quotes from a JSON file. The JSON file must have the following format:

{
    "quotes": [
        {
            "date": "date-in-iso8601-format",
            "text": "quote text"
        },
        //...
    ]
}

(This format matches the JSON export format of tropmignon.com)
