Q: Give us a summary of what’s notably now Found Media.
* All of archive.ariankordi.net, yay. By this point there’s some stuff I’ve held back, mostly stuff outside of Aarch that wasn’t supposed to be public. OOPS! For those who aren’t familiar, these are my collection of Miiverse archives that I did release a few weeks ago.
* The source of closed.pizza, with more features than the GitHub version (closedverse-video-support is catching up but still doesn’t have everything)
* All versions of my old websites, including “The Mii thing” from various points in time, and all Closedverse downage pages. Remember those?
* An unfinished “Closedverse Archive” little web app that I intended to finish and properly close Closedverse with. Similar to Miiverse’s archive, but far more polished and in depth.
* Prototypes of new Miiverse clones that literally don’t have anything more than a login page, maybe even a community listing. I’ll include “Cedar 2” in this, which I wanted to make in 2017 with Sails.js, a framework aiming to be “Django but JavaScript”.
* Multiple forks of Cedar and Openverse. They should have changes, but the real question is if I care enough to see what they are. I know there’s certainly a version of Openverse with a dark mode that inspired Closedverse. I don’t think there’s a version of Grape here profoundly better than the GitHub version.
* Openverse^2, a quite innovative Miiverse clone that’s meant to be compatible with Openverse databases and its interface. It’s a single page app in Vue.js, is written in Golang, and was made in March or April of 2018, don’t have the exact date stamps. Most importantly, it had live posting with WebSockets. A lot of aspects of this inspired Indigo, which actually copies the exact style of the upload button that Openverse^2 first had.
* Projects that never got anywhere. Una, CheesecakeMaker (a web text editor I wanted to use at school to work on the next Miiverse clone with, that has a full file browser 🥺), and like, 4 prototypes for the next Miiverse clone. Probably at least 3 attempts to rewrite Closedverse too. Don’t worry, they are literally useless and stuck at step 1.
