Bamboo: a simple blog engine on Hack
Bamboo is a port of Panda, but runs on top of Hack. It's an experimental project but quite portable.

hacker friendly
- posts are in plain text
- SCM for publishing / data managing ( not really a feature, but a design goal from the beginning )
- blindly follows the KISS principle from code to UI: be a simple blog, no more no less
Demo
blog
My blog source is available as a git repo:
git clone git://github.com/nfjinjing/jinjing-blog.git
Or browser online
Note: This blog is using the Kibro handler. It's running under lighttpd and in fcgi. Definitely more robust, but require some set up work.
