fplyr VS Smithereen

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!

Image and Media organizers running on databases were not applicable for me. The were not portable enough and their categorization always relied on their database so no chance the file manager or another program worked with it. Also I always had the problem with backups, renaming files outside the database-system etc etc. Regarding the sensitivity of the (adult) content, I also did not want to be dependable on big companies and their software.

Fplyr is a background audio sample and music player specialized in playing moaning sounds and relaxing music for adult entertainment purpose.

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.

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. :)

https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen

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.

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.

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.

Well, for one, fediverse is a thing, and I'm doing my part

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