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.
