✨ Foil is an content management system designed for engineers, artists, technical artists, musicians, and bloggers looking to showcase a portfolio of front-end experiments, games, art, articles, and more.
It's built on top of Rust, Node.js, TypeScript, React, GraphQL, and PostgreSQL.
Install the following prior to running foil:
-
Node.js - Handles server-side rendering and JavaScript bundles.
-
PostgreSQL - Handles the foil post database cache.
-
Rust Language (optional) - The language the server and builder are written in. This isn't necessary if you run foil directly from a binary.
From there, visit the releases page for built binaries, and expose the folder to your PATH.
