aurora

What is aurora?

Aurora is a lightweight social network application written in Go programming language, and using bolt database as its main storage source.

This is not for production use, I started this project as a way to learn more about the Go programming language, and also to experiment with testing web services in Go.

Alternative way to build

I was digging in the go standard library, and thought I should experiment on the text/template. I extended it and made a toy yet working build tool(a.k.a template based build tool). The source code is found here zanzibar.

You can build aurora using zanzibar tool. Install it first.

go get github.com/gernest/zanzibar

clone aurora

git clone https://github.com/gernest/aurora

cd into aurora and run zanzibar

cd aurora&&zanzibar

you should find your build in builds directory.
