>>4 Thanks. I don't want to call it /lounge/ nor /prog/. Maybe I'll figure something else.

My aim was to make it a remote git repository, that can be simply cloned by anyone with a single command line. (This way the filesharing would never die even if a node of it is compromised, since new ones can spawn at any time.) But, alas, I am quite noobish with git and still haven't managed to set it up like that.
>>8 Maybe, but I'm not such a great problem solver. Anytime I try to google it I get stackoverflow questions about GitHub. Once I do have the time I'll read the man page on git and figure it out definitely. Or I'll ask for help from my brother who is a more intelligent man than me.

Also, I'm not Kodak, but Brazil-kun. (The one with "amazing apps" in 2013.)

>>6 "/disc/ - Discussion" sounds like a good name. The idea would be to have a place to discuss the ebooks, papers and various other files that are being shared by the site, and maybe recommend them to newcomers (in a proper ordering, from introductory to advanced), offer reviews, suggest hosting of other files, et cetera. But of course any kind of discussion would be valid.
hey SuperHell, are you going to implement your're are own textboard or will you use a publicly available engine? if it's the former, will you expose some kind of API? I'm thinking of making a terminal-based interface for textboards (like an old BBS) and while I could do that with HTML scraping, it's only reliable as long as the HTML structure remains unchanged
>>14 I was thinking of using shiichan. I tried it and it almost worked but for some reason an included function called abbc_css was considered undeclared and the board that was generated had no css. That's why I didn't expose it yet. I could as a hack install a different css but I was thinking of doing The Right Thing and find out the origin of the problem, even if it takes longer.
On the other side of your question, I once had an idea of creating a json or sexp-based API for transmitting queries and the result of queries over http, as if the user was only querying a database with his client, and the client-side implementation of the graphical interface, which he owned completely, would decide how to render the page for him, without the possibility of any kind of trick. This could then become a sort of standard. It would be "the dawn of a new era" where Everything That Sucks About The Web would be pruned and expurged, and malicious people or worthless people would have a hard time hiding behind the noise, since most of what's transmitted would be signal.
But of course, implementing these kinds of things and making them secure takes time.

>>18 Why would you use an ancient pile of garbage than that? I feel like it's easier to start fresh instead of using old, undocumented, unmaintained, quirky/buggy code like that.
A RESTful API and MongoDB would be cool. You can run Express/Node/MongooseJS. You can also look into PugJS templating.

Prolog/Datalog is the only valid solution for databases.

>>18 just make a REST API that only exposes basic functionality: listing boards, listing threads, reading threads, poasting. making it secure is exactly as hard as makig the board secure. >>19 mongodb is for mongoloids
>>24 Have fun trying to poorly reinvent basic SQL algorithms that could have been automated had you spent a moment's time to properly design the layout of the data.
