My Projects are:

static.py

is (yet another) static blog/page/singlepage generator for python.

But I think it has quite a few nice features to make you up and running out of the box.

if you want to make a blog or single page => you're done! (batteries included ;)

unique features

comment posts via twitter
- so no third party tool or login required for comments.
- comments are collected automatically from twitter next time you generate the blog.
pre rendered tag views on board (click on a tag and you see all posts with that tag)

Tweetchazzer

(first release planned for mid March / 2016 )

Play correspondence chess with real people via twitter.

No special login or sign up required (just you and your existing twitter account)
Just request to play a game with a person you know or just random
tweetchazzer will start the game for you
renders boards as images
checks moves , states (chessmate, stalemate etc)

Just to give you an impression:

game start
move (reply / tweet or direct message)
The the opponent will get a renderd

This is the new pow 2017. And it's really good.

(ok I might be biased ;)

But it's by far the best PoW (concept and implementation) ever ! Ever, ever, ever!!

I call it SQUEEZY => for Simple, Quick and Easy.

Principle

As simple to use as possible. Everything you always need on board. And you can always escape and go RAW. Batteries included! (tornado Webswerver, SQLite DB)

Strong Foundation:

python 3.x
tornado webserver
sqlalchemy ORM
cerberus schemas and validation on board
tornado templates
tinyDB, MongoDB and ElasticSearch on board... more to come

Super easy, quick to start and all the basics on board:

super easy relations with decorators @relations.has_many("comments")
super easy REST routing with decorators @app.add_restful_routes(),
routing decorator @app.add_route(route)
db migrations autogenerated using alembic in the back
validation on board with cerberus schemas
use the same schema descrition for all model types (sql, nosql, elastic..)
generate_models script
generate_migrations script
update_db script
generate_handlers
generate_app
automatic scaffolding views

Current Status:

The current version in this repo is fully working

Code examples

Routes:

# this will call the myget methog on HTTP GET calls.
# and will hand over the re-group as the 1st parameter.
@app.add_route("/index/([0-9]+)*", dispatch={"get" : "myget"})
class IndexdHandler(BaseHandler):
    def myget(self, index=None):
        print("  index:" + str(index))
        self.render("index.tmpl")

Relations: (SQL Models)

@relation.has_many("comments")
class Post(Base):
    # a blog Post
    schema = {
        'text': {'type': 'string'},
        'name': {'type': 'string', 'maxlength' : 35},
        'last': {'type': 'number'}
    }

I am currently working on translating The little MongoDB book to german.

You can check the current state of the translation on github.

Careful, it's german, of course ;)

The original source of the little MongoDB book can be found here

Of course a lot more work than I thought. You have to think a lot about sentence structure, a good translation (not word by word but to get the flow and feeling of the original text transfered to the translation ...)

But it's fun from the beginning because I (again) learn quite a lot. Not only about MongoDB but also about

Karl @karlseguin
book translations, (how to keep the original spirit of the book)
book formatting
ePub and mobi generation tools and lots of things more.
psd / image editing (for the cover)
font installation on osx (honestly never done it before, and am positively suprised by the tools ;)

What this is all about
