Description
It's not butter…margarine aims to be a zen (butter) web browsing experience. This tool adds features to an amalgamation of delicious, the social bookmarking application, and readability, the excellent web article renderer.
This project was created as a demo application for training purposes on cloud application design. It is not intended (but no one will be stopped) as a replacement for delicious and readability.

Usage
Margarine has several coordinating applications that get installed and need to be running in order to provide all of the intended functionality:
| blend: | The API daemon that provides the web service with the application logic and connects the frontend to the backend processors. |
|---|---|
| tinge: | The frontend for margarine that provides the web browseable interface to the application. |
| spread: | The backend daemon process that does non-interactive processing. |
The tinge and blend processes can be deployed as a WSGI service if
desired (it is written with flask) but also has a built in web service that
can be used for small or development deployments.
The spread daemon is designed to work with start-stop-daemon to run in
the background on a server. The spread daemon listens to a configurable
message queue but can be configured to talk directly with the blend
process.
A fully functional environment can be spun up by using vagrant:
vagrant up
