Minor wording change for "Download" link
Suggesting this change simply because "ZIP" appears to be (per its specification published by PKWARE) canonically spelled uppercase.

I also added the word "archive" to provide a noun modified by "ZIP" rather than treating "ZIP" as a noun itself. It seems clearer this way, but may cause text flow issues in the design if it's too long.

Drift

Drift is a self-hostable Gist clone. It's also a major work-in-progress, but is (almost, no database yet) completely functional.

You can try a demo at https://drift.maxleiter.com. The demo is built on master but has no database, so files and accounts can be wiped at any time.

If you want to contribute, need support, or want to stay updated, you can join the IRC channel at #drift on irc.libera.chat or reach me on twitter. If you don't have an IRC client yet, you can use a webclient here.

Setup

Development

In both server and client, run yarn (if you need yarn, you can download it here.) You can run yarn dev in either / both folders to start the server and client with file watching / live reloading.

Production

Note: Drift is not yet ready for production usage and should not be used seriously until the database has been setup, which I'll get to when the server API is semi stable.

yarn build in both client/ and server/ will produce production code for the client and server respectively. The client and server each also have Dockerfiles which you can use with a docker-compose (an example compose will be provided in the near future).

If you're deploying the front-end to something like Vercel, you'll need to set the root folder to client/.

Current status

Drift is a major work in progress. Below is a (rough) list of completed and envisioned features. If you want to help address any of them, please let me know regardless of your experience and I'll be happy to assist.

  • creating and sharing private, public, unlisted posts
    • syntax highlighting (detected by file extension)
    • multiple files per post
    • uploading files via drag-and-drop
  • responsive UI
  • user auth
    • SSO via HTTP header (Issue: #11)
  • downloading files (individually and entire posts)
  • password protected posts
  • sqlite database (should be very easy to set-up; the ORM is just currently set to memory for ease of development)
  • non-node backend
  • administrator account / settings
  • docker-compose (PR: #13)
    • publish docker builds
  • user settings
  • works enough with JavaScript disabled
  • documentation
  • customizable homepage, so the demo can exist as-is but other instances can be built from the same source. Environment variable for the file contents?
