NANY 2019 Entry Information

Application Name reddit whisky exposé
Short Description A simple HTML generator for whisky reviews posted on reddit
Supported OSes Wherever you have Racket
Web Page https://code.rosaelefanten.org/racket-whisky-reviews
System Requirements
  • Some version of Racket
  • The Racket "yaml" module
Author  :huh:


Description
I needed that.  :P

Nah, it's enough for me.

Usage
Installation
Download the main.rkt file and set up a whiskies.yaml file like the example that comes with it.

Using the Application
Get Racket, get the YAML module, run the file. A web server will be started and your HTML file will be loaded in your default browser. (You could run it on your server if you have one.)

Known Issues
The CSS looks like shit. I'm lazy.

I've never heard of this, though it looks quite interesting.  It goes to show that people obsess over every hobby!  Thanks for opening my eyes to it, and it looks like a quite interesting and easy to follow implementation- like todo.txt.

I could imagine that it would be a good starting point for some people who want to try Racket once, even if they hate whisky.  :)
