Now, you’ve got it good, because previously no Ruby on Rails blog engine of the sort existed, so we decided to build it ourselves. OK, to be honest, we made this for us just as much as for you, so we’ve all got it pretty good.
Responsive from Front to Back
A clear focus of LINES is responsiveness. Writing is complex and publishing is too. But we believe both must be possible wherever you are. We wanted to be able to write and publish anywhere, on any device. So everything about the blogging platform is responsive, from the writing tool to your article dashboard to the presentation your readers see.
Less Code is Better
No more legacy code: we slashed the original code of earlier LINES versions down to a fraction. In fact, Jochen and Max wrote the whole platform new, from scratch. Legacy code, however well-documented, can quickly turn into a bloated, heavy whale, especially if it’s just the base you want to build upon in your customizations. Nobody wants to carry whale around.
Features
As far as features go, we stuck to the tried and true (everything we already had in LINES 0.x), but revised, improved, optimized:
- Login- & Password Management

- Article Teasers
