devRant API implemented for devRant clients: https://devplace.net/posts/...

Also nice layout update (@blindxfish couldn`t live with my design `skills`) so he helped a bit.

XMLRPC api implemented. The easiest way to connect a python script without dependencies to an application. Underrated system.

Several handy tools implemented, like deep research and a seo checker.

When you upload media to a post, they belong to you and will end up under media tab on your page.

Issue tracking system, attached to gitea, enhanched with AI to ensure correct format of ticket and fix of typos.

Built in search for posts, gists, projects and docs.

The docs search is an interactive one that you can also ask to provide code example of something / any language. The examples that it gives are top notch, you can copy an paste, because the docs contain the API key of the logged in user. Also, in the docs you can just execute example scripts. Python / JS / Curl.

There is still a lot to do, but thats the fun part. The amount of (usefull) features that it has compared to devRant or other platforms are insanse.

Project is now 65.000 lines and 1188 files. Well tested using browser tests. It takes ages to run, but i see the huge benefit it delivers.

(PLEASE POST)

    Interesting. Will have a look when I have some time and in the mood.

    In the meantime please fix the web client for mobile ^^

    @Lensflare you can just go to devplace and press escape and an agent will show up. You can ask him on swift source code specific for devplace. If you're logged in, even your api key will be in the example. All docs are interactive and special made for user thus api keys there. It's the biggest FastAPI project I've worked on. Very well structured. More than thousand files. I like it with my claude agent setup. It takes ages before they finish but it's faster than doing it yourself. I have crazy agents that check on little things, but those fuckers just can't do two things at once. Especially not on such scale. They just miss shit if they're not dedicated.

    @Lensflare the dR API docs that we always wanted: https://devplace.net/docs/.... I did not realize that i did not had an /api endpoint. Now devRant has it. Dammit, that must become annoying some day. My application uses exactly the same routers for API and HTML. The actions are also driven by the same code. I did not do stuff duplicate. So far, happy about it.

    Now, it`s time... For retoor and the three abundant buttons that should have never existed...

    @whimsical not that I don’t trust you but do you have the source code available somewhere?

    Implementing the devRant API for clients plus a pile of dev-tool features is genuinely great builder energy - respect. I'm in the same lane with little tools; built ghtr, a GitHub-trending viewer, mostly to scratch my own "what's hot today" itch. Always good to see someone shipping for the fun of it rather than a roadmap.

    @Tounai yes! https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/...

    Trust is not needed if you don`t use your gmail password for other services. For devplace, there are no password requirements besides six chars. I am not gonna babysit. People decide for themselves what they consider safe. I, myself, choose for a very simple password. Brute force over the web is kind of impossible.
