keeping track of my children's money since 2013
Why
===
## Why
I want to write a from-scratch, non-tutorial web application in go. This is my
attempt at such an endeavor.
Originally I wanted to write a from-scratch, non-tutorial web application in
go. After a few years of writing web stuff in go. My wife came to rely on this
and when she asked me to stand up the service again I couldn't get past how bad
the code looked so I polished things up.
## how
What
====
you can safely install this by running the following:
The main point of this app should be the following:
* authenticate user(s)
* All should be able to see:
- how much each child has earned
- show results for a single child
* Authenticated users should be able to:
- add money to a given child by surfing to their page and clicking on
coins
* The app should:
- be resilient to restart
- on write, store info in .json db
- on start up deal with parsing and empty data.json files
- look better than what I've written in the past
$ go get mcquay.me/allowances/...
Dependencies
============
* bootstrap_
- place in ./static/bootstrap
One can initialize the password and children db as follows:
$ allowances pw add $PASS
$ allowances children add $DB a b c d
Bootstrap DB
============
and run the server as such:
$ echo "[]" > passwds.json
.. _bootstrap: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/assets/bootstrap.zip
export PASSES=/tmp/passes.json
export DB=/tmp/children.json
