One developer blog

This is a small personal blog web application, built using Rack and standalone gems. The idea is to show how a completely feature full MVC application can be created without using any framework. The blog is divided into 2 separate applications: front and admin. Also it uses Docker both for local development and production (using Rancher). You can find a working demo here: http://1devblog.org/en
