nitor - latin: to strive, exert oneself, make an effort, persevere.
This is a codebase for building an indoor climbing routes database and web service with added chrome and fun.
It's an experiment in bringing together the two things I spend the most time working on: tiddlyweb and climbing.
This is far from done or useful yet and will likely change a great deal over time but the expected features are:
- per gym "themes"
- admin and gym management interfaces
- climber ticklists
- papercraft output
- API access for arbitrary devices (e.g. iphones etc)
While there is no particular reason why TiddlyWeb is better at providing these services than anything else, there are some benefits:
- I already know how to use the stuff.
- Built in multi-representation API (notably JSON and Atom).
- Already wired for queues via dispatcher and beanstalkd.
- Expands and extends the key-value database aspect of TiddlyWeb.
- Provides another vector from which Tiddly* improvements can come.
