Moving DocPad Forward, the rise of backend-agnostic GUIs

A GUI, or rather a CMS interface for DocPad is the big next step. It was also one of the first proof of concepts I used to ensure DocPad would be able to scale into the web development platform of the future.

Proof of Concept

Back in the first early months of DocPad, I created three plugins:

• Authenticate: To authenticate you against the project's maintainers to ensure that you have read and write access
• REST: Provided authenticated users the ability to update documents via HTTP POST requests using JSON

• treeish: anything which references a commit (e.g. branch, HEAD, HEAD10, master15, SHA)

git show <treeish>:<file>

Displays file from a specific commit

git checkout <treeish> -- <file>

Checkout a file from a specific commit
