The Statesman's meme generator is a lightly-modified fork of the Vox meme generator. It has been modified to work without Ruby (except Compass, which is required to run the build process).
Assets are now built using Grunt, which transpiles the SASS files and concatenates/minifies the JavaScript. We modified the app this way to make it more easily deployable on our internal infrastructure.
Statesman images, fonts, etc. are currently in the app so you'll need to follow the steps below to customize the app for your use:
- Edit the settings file at
source/javascripts/settings.js
. - Add any fonts you'll need at
source/stylesheets/_fonts.scss
. npm install
- Run
grunt
- Optional: Deploy to GitHub pages with
git push origin master:gh-pages
. - Open the
index.html
file (or your GitHub pages URL) in your browser and meme away.
