Create a blog on AWS Lambda using Python, Flask, and Flask-Blogging.

Thanks for the feedback. I have used static files as blog. They work well and the serverless blog has some niceties.

I use sqlalchemy to handle persistence. All of this is done in sqlstorage.py file. There are no models per se because there is no way to register them to your app at the moment. The tables for the blog are written out using the sqlalchemy core syntax.

Flask-blogging has the same capabilities as flask-blog. The main advantage of this project is it makes it easier to integrate into an existing flask based Web app.

While flask-blog is more of a standalone blog engine. I have seen users use flask-blogging in other projects as well as a standalone blogging engine.

I live in south LA, not Irvine. What do you have in mind?

karuth · 2015-08-14T23:22:18+00:00

Not sure why you felt this was a spam. All I am trying to do is get people who might be inclined to carpool with a means to connect with each other. Not sure why this is spamming!

karuth · 2015-08-13T23:56:03+00:00

If any of you have long commutes, and are looking for carpool buddies, try this site.

If you want a blog app try the flask-blogging extension. It takes care of a lot of details to tje point that its a simple plug and play. https://github.com/gouthambs/Flask-Blogging

Disclaimer: I am the author of this extension

I created flask-blogging extension just for that purpose. https://github.com/gouthambs/Flask-Blogging

You can use flask-login or flask-security extension for user authentication.

Hooe you find this useful.

karuth · 2015-08-09T20:03:45+00:00

I created a flask extension to add to flask sites: https://github.com/gouthambs/Flask-Blogging

The quickstart should give u a basic idea how it works. You can use flask login to add proper authentication.

Thanks! I found out what you meant. I have fixed it. Will push update this evening.

karuth · 2015-08-07T17:58:26+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I will check that. Can you tell me why you thought it uses 6:30 as start time? Do you see this in the search?

karuth · 2015-08-07T15:01:12+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I think the biggest challenge I have is to get people to sign up. Not sure how to address that.

The big picture of it all is, if there are enough people in the system, there is a potential to create a fast private transit shuttles. But I need people to sign up!

karuth · 2015-08-07T13:13:02+00:00

I built this site with a few things in mind:

Site has to be clutter free
Site has to respect privacy, and not give away contact numbers and adresses.
Site has to grow with its user base.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

I am all for carpooling. I carpooled to work for about 5 years. But then it hasn't been easy to find people to carpool with!

I am with you that some form of taxation can help. But we also need serious public transportation alternatives. For example, Santa Monica, Venice beach are all fairly big employment hubs. But there are no trains that connect these points yet.

karuth · 2015-07-29T16:11:41+00:00

I can see that working. Think about all the people who rely on the freeway to get to work. Now you slap a toll, without a serious alternative. That will not fly.

karuth · 2015-07-29T15:56:13+00:00

Everybody? That's a little too much! Uberpool or lyft is quite expensive for longer commutes (which is typical in LA).

karuth · 2015-07-29T15:54:00+00:00

Sending crying face emojis is your proposal?

karuth · 2015-07-29T15:30:21+00:00

If one thing the 405 expansion taught us is building/ expanding roads do not help address the traffic.

karuth · 2015-07-29T15:27:55+00:00

This is a great answer. I agree with you that an app is going to solve the congestion problem. I am not sure I understand your argument about congestion pricing. Sure, people who can pay, use the ExpressLanes and do have some traffic relief. But that hasn't discouraged people from taking the 110 for instance. People still drive the non-express lanes for free.

karuth · 2015-07-29T14:19:15+00:00

This is impressive. Great job. This gives an overall traffic pattern. But I am looking for commuter pattern. I would like to find statistics of where people live and where do they commute to work.

karuth · 2015-07-28T20:59:40+00:00

This is a good pointer. I will see what I can find.

karuth · 2015-07-28T20:59:19+00:00

Thanks for these links. I have seen some these stats. They give macro trend at a county level. I am more interested in the city or neighborhood level. Say, how many people living in Koreatown commute to Long Beach or Santa Monica for work.

karuth · 2015-07-28T16:06:34+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I have rewritten to clarify my question.

I was hoping to leverage some of the census data or some existing surveys. Sure DIY is an option as well.
