I'm thinking of making brand new imageboard software.

been thinking about it for a while actually, not sure what push I need to get started.

I guess it isn't mentioned anywhere but this site is new software coded in python.
>not sure what push I need to get started.

Probably some unique idea. I wanted a place where I could play around with different ideas for having a moderator-less imageboard, so I ended up coding one never planning to actually make a site, but I was motivated to sort of "solve the mod problem".

So I'd say try and come up with something we haven't seen before that you think everyone needs. If you really feel like you're onto something, even if it turns out to be wrong, it makes it easy to work on it.

Can you help me get first run?


$ python server.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "server.py", line 36, in <module>
boardMessages = pickle.load(open(BasePath+'bMessages/boardMessages','rb'))
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/debian/src/4taba/root/bMessages/boardMessages'

It was made to be run from apache not as a standalone. I should probably have mentioned that in the readme, sorry.
I'd say first figure out how to set up a bare bones webserver that uses python and then try getting it working.
You can always email me (contact links at bottom of the page) if you need more help.

thanks, I've set up apache2 with mod_python and i get the same error.

maybe if someone could share a basic/test boardMessages file? I tried to make it using the script but that didn't work

Oh right, you need to open up the generateMessages script and set the path in there too. Then it should write a file called boardMessages into the same directory as the generateMessages script.
Here is the one I'm using on /all/.
Just save it to bMessages/messages/all then run the script (after setting the correct path inside it).

By the way, I'm using mod_wsgi not mod_python, so you might have to do some extra changes.

I sent you an possibly important E-Mail.

If you're going to rewrite/refactor it, add a HTML templating engine like jinja. It even has a fitting name and there would be no
$ sed '945!d' server.py | wc -c
1334
in your program, that tries to murder my emacs.

You also forgot to add the LICENSE

jinji is SHITTTTTTTT

A templating system seems like a very useful idea, thanks.
I'm not sure which license I should use. I think all I really want from it is that any projects using it mention somewhere that they got code from here and that any improvements they make to the code be made available (without necessarily requiring them to open source their whole project).
I'm looking up information about licenses but I can't seem to find answers to some questions I have, and I don't trust my ability to interpret the implications of each license myself.

There is a "like" before the jinja, it just was the first thing that came to mind.

>>17
I don't know any license that does this. LGPL probably comes the closest, but it makes more sense to use it for libraries. Not a lawyer, mind that.

Only higher pt/bold font to differentiate different threads? Looks better on the futaba style but the default white one isn't so great.

The "Recent Comments" header/separator seems a bit redundant... (babby's first imageboard?)

Also wondering what the idea behind only showing recent threads is and having a thread list instead. I guess it's quicker to access threads you want to follow in the list instead of looking through them via catalog/scrolling.

It's interesting.

I've always wished more sites that choose to use a comments/discussion section would incorporate anonymous discussion instead of that "log in through: facebook/google/etc.." crap.

That site looks more like something you could present to serious business oriented sites, although they'd probably turn off the ability to format the post with HTML, which is also a cool feature.

Interesting idea.

I sure wouldn't mind having the ability to post tables and lists, but I think spoilers and s-jis art, which I don't think werchan supports yet, are way more important for our use case. I'm sure that's easy to add though, if it's really missing.

I don't really know how I feel about Markdown. I don't really like it, but I can't propose anything better either. I also don't know if all that formatting freedom would be put to good use, but I'd be interested in giving it a shot.

I totally get the plain layout, but that style sheet could use some work. The spacing of the content makes it kinda fugly, and that "Recent Comments" shit is an eyesore.

This:
>remember that loli is illegal and immoral (ie don’t post it)

is completely unacceptable.
