Paper Taxi

Couple of days ago I decided to find a wiki based engine for Rails 3 and make an app with the intent to store loosely connected personal knowledge base. After searching for rails3+wiki and miserably failing at it I decided to see if there are any simple rails3+cms kind of apps. I have compiled the following list:

• Locomotive
• RefineryCMS
• RadiantCMS
• Typo

After trying those out for a while I realized that all of them are BLOATED. All I needed is a simple blog like way to create an article and link the article one to another…

That’s how Paper Taxi was born, featuring:

• Rails 3
• MongoDB with Mongoid
• Markdown style text editing with easy linking of articles
• Devise for authentication (only one default user)
• Tags for articles and tag filters
• Simple HTML5+CSS3 UI
• Russian I18n as a bonus

Here’s an example (in Russian) site which it is used for: Ayurveda

and of course some screenshots:
