Why Camping Matters
summary
Argues that Camping matters because it feeds the inner hacker and sparks experiments, then proves it by building a working blog: a 4K microframework app placed in a single-file app with Markaby views, ActiveRecord models and in-file migrations, served on localhost:3301 and using Camping’s auto-reload. Demonstrates posts, permalinks and comments, notes testing helpers Mosquito and a half-baked Deet, and claims Camping runs in production (Terralien Planet), emphasizing regular, varied, appealing hacks over mere framework rhetoric.
