  • Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
    212 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 12 Dec 2023
    I created adult entertainment apps to organize and have fun with images and videos:

    - RuGiVi: https://github.com/pronopython/rugivi - Browse your collection of images on an endless screen. Tested with more than 700.000 images at once!

    - Fapel System: https://github.com/pronopython/fapel-system - Organize your adult images and videos by just using hardlinks and directories.

    - TopZemen: https://github.com/pronopython/topzemen - Let the images float on your screen or rain down next to your browser window.

    - Fplyr: https://github.com/pronopython/fplyr - An audio player to play moaning sounds in the background.

    Everything for Ubuntu Linux and in parts also for Windows!

    Tested with around 700.000 images, that's a RuGiVi Pixel size of 4.600.000 x 4.400.000 pixels or 20.240.000 Megapixels or 10.120.000 Full HD Screens to be scrolled through. RuGiVi works on Windows and Ubuntu Linux!

    With the fapel-system you can organize your adult images and video collection under Linux and Windows with standard folders. Everything works with hardlinks.

  • Show HN: RuGiVi – Adult media landscape browser
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 9 May 2023
    RuGiVi enables you to fly over your image collection and view thousands of images at once. Zoom in and out from one image to small thumbnails with your mousewheel in seconds. All images are grouped as you have them on your disk and arranged in a huge landscape. RuGiVi can work with hundred thousand of images at once.

    Fly over thumbnails and zoom in on any image anytime in an instant!

    Tested with around 700.000 images, that's a RuGiVi Pixel size of 4.600.000 x 4.400.000 pixels or 20.240.000 Megapixels or 10.120.000 Full HD Screens to be scrolled through.

    RuGiVi works on Windows and Ubuntu Linux

    RuGiVi saves all generated thumbnails in a database and can load these on the fly at the next session.

    Oh and regarding my other project: RuGiVi integrates fully into the Fapel-System [1], so you can travel trough your collection and tag images as you fly over them!

    Have fun!

  • Ask HN: How to handle user file uploads?
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 3 May 2024
    In my project[1], I convert all user-uploaded images to high-quality webp and store them like that. I discard the original files after the conversion. I use imgproxy[2] to further resize and convert them on the fly for actual display.

    I don't do videos yet, but I'm kinda terrified of the idea of putting user-uploaded files through ffmpeg if/when I'll support them.

  • Why is no one making a new version of old Facebook?
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 20 Feb 2024
    They do, or rather not old Facebook, but old VK: https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen

    As a bonus it's an ActivityPub enabled application, so any specific instance of it requires less work to get the network effect going. :)

    A Facebook-style ActivityPub server. Has wall posts, groups, and events.

    Not yet "ready" — 1.0 would need much better moderation tools, photo albums (with tagging), discussion boards (in groups), and a client API. Direct messages are a work in progress right now.

    I myself use it daily for my participation in the fediverse.

  • VSCode config to disable annoyances – telemetry, notifications, welcome pages
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 14 May 2023
    Unfortunately I don't think it fits any of the projects I work on (and I don't use VSCode to begin with, never had it installed, bit I do see an IntelliJ plugin as well).

    I have one project that's a server application (https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen), but since it uses lots of custom stuff on top of the Spark micro-framework, your plugin would probably not work on it. I imagine it does expect projects to be structured idiomatically for the framework they use, at least to some degree. Spark also doesn't know anything about databases, so that is all custom as well. Oh and I also hacked it a bit with reflection to allow streaming responses.

  • Meta selling new “Meta Verified” blue badge for $12-15/month
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Feb 2023
    I'm building a fediverse project that aims to fill this exact niche. It's basically a recreation of an early-ish version of VKontakte (Russian Facebook) but federated. It's not really ready yet, and there are lots of important features missing, but I do use it daily for my primary fediverse account.

    I, too, am sick of all the existing social media companies trying their damnest to cater to the entertainment use case no one ever asked for.

    I'm building an ActivityPub thing of my own: https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen

    It's not quite ready for mainstream use just yet, but I'm getting there. The next update will improve moderation tools by a lot. One after that will, at last, add private messages.

    I know of Smithereen[1] that is an attempt at a full fledged social network similar to VK on top of the ActivityPub vocabulary.
