Announcing incollo.com service!

September 30th, 2008 bodom_lx No comments

When I announced BD-incollo 6 days ago, I also mentioned that I would have launched the service today. I really did that, and I’m very proud to announce the first site that runs BD-incollo.
http://incollo.com! Very easy :-)
Incollo.com is a collaborative debugging tool like Pastebin or other similar services, but it’s slightly different from it. And it’s different from other Pastebin clones even written using Rails or Django.
Here are the most exciting features:

  • It’s Fast. Very Fast
  • Written thinking about usability
  • A very clean interface, a minimalist design that gives space to the code (as it should always be)
  • It’s possible to search through pastes, like in a forum
  • A Paste is not deleted after 30 days or something similar. A paste is deleted after it is no more interesting! It’s deleted after 60 days of no visualizations
  • The system is anonymous. It won’t store your information! Paste whatever you want but please use your brain! A Paste may be reported to the administrator!
  • You don’t really have to play with options and there are no required field other than the Paste itself. You may paste a text and directly hit the submit button
  • Quite every page is XHTML 1.0 compatible
  • It works well and has nice urls, thanks to Django
  • Compatible with every browser (tested with Internet Explorer 6,7,8, Mozilla Firefox 3, Apple Safari, Google Chrome)
  • Resolution friendly! Liquid design that adapts to every monitor resolution (tests from 1024×768)
  • Developer friendly! Every functionality of incollo.com can be used with max 2 mouse clicks and without a mouse scroll!
  • Tested with lots of pastes, quite every source code should be perfectly viewed (this does not happen with every pastebin clones I’ve tried)
  • Uses Pygments for code highlighting
  • Languages supported: ActionScript, Assembly (various), Boo, Befunge, BrainFuck, C, C++, C#, Common Lisp, D, Delphi, Dylan, Erlang, Haskell (incl. Literate Haskell), Java, JavaScript, Lua, MiniD, MooCode, MuPad, OCaml, PHP, Perl, Python (incl. console sessions and tracebacks), Redcode, Ruby (incl. irb sessions), Scheme, Visual Basic.NET, Django/Jinja templates, ERB (Ruby templating), Genshi (the Trac template language), Myghty (the HTML::Mason based framework), Mako (the Myghty successor), Smarty templates (PHP templating), JSP (Java Server Pages), , Other markup, , Apache config files, Bash shell scripts, BBCode, CSS, Debian control files, Diff files, Gettext catalogs, Groff markup, HTML, INI-style config files, IRC logs (irssi style), Makefiles, MoinMoin/Trac Wiki markup, Redcode, ReST, SQL, also MySQL, Squid configuration, TeX, Vim Script, Windows batch files, XML

This is an example of Paste with Incollo.com:

You are really welcome to report any bugs or leave a feedback! Remember that this is my very first Django project, and I created it in about 6 days!

Of course, I’m already beginning to think about new features :D

BD-incollo 0.1 is out!

September 30th, 2008 bodom_lx 4 comments

As I promised, BD-incollo 0.1 is finished and the source code is available in the project page under the GPL 3 license.
Every MUST requirement has been done and just two MAY requirements could not be developed in just 6 days. But They will surely be in the next releases.
Sourcecode is well commented using xP standards and there are few comments where necessary, but is should be clear. If not, drop me a mail.
I will write a map that describes the source code tree tomorrow!
The conclusions of this experiment are that Django is really a web framework for perfectionists with deadlines! I spent more time playing with templates and CSS than with the whole python coding! It’s a valid alternative to Ruby on Rails, and built on a programming language I really like.
Go and grab the code!

A first BD-incollo screenshot, report after 48 hours

September 26th, 2008 bodom_lx No comments

Time for a screenshot! This is the page which handles new pastes:

BD-incollo: page for new pastes

BD-incollo: page for new pastes


There are some news:

  • I implemented a hash function (hexadecimal number as output) to be used to access pastes, instead of using their ids
  • I played with templates to have all the functionalities accessed in very small mouse movements

Next, the requirements regarding automatic cleanup of the pastes!

BD-incollo project status update, after 24 hours

September 25th, 2008 bodom_lx No comments

The general structure of the program is ready and works. I’m very happy with it, I’m currently playing with templates to have a very accessible, clean layout with few page scrolling needing. At the moment is is possible to:

  • Paste a code
  • Search a Paste
  • View a colored Paste (code syntax)
  • View a Paste without syntax highlighting
  • Download a Paste as plain text
  • View all pastes (although I will allow to see the last 20-30 pastes)
