The development of https://devplace.net goes very rapid. We have a small user base now and testers and other contributions.
It delivers a lot of features:
- blocking / muting users
- embeds like youtube/video/music/pictures
- markdown supported
- syntax highlighting
SEO is done very well, the site scores 92/100 based on 50 pages. Also sitemap.xml is available.
System is fully backend rendered. It renders quite big pages but we keep it under 100ms mostly.
Smart caching that still allowes immediate update of all static content after deploy.
Super news page. I once made a system that crawls all the best news of many sources. With this as source, we use AI to grade rule based what content should be published / featured. See the nice lookig news page here: https://devplace.net/news.
Perfect notification system, never miss what happens. Web push, notifications and toasts.
Direct message functionallity.
Full discord emoji support.
Automatic backup service.
Media library, if you share content with media, you can find the media bcck on your profile page.
Optional correction of your input. You can configure yourself what must be corrected using a prompt. I choose to markdownify my posts automatically and it`s fun. My posts look very nice.
Soon, someone on Fiverr will be doing the marketing of the platform.

If you want, you can contribute in many ways, just with content or testing is very appreciated. There are not much issues left anymore.
The project is now 30 days into development and we went hardcore. The quality is greet and it is just very clean. Look at the html source for example.
To comply with some EU standards, it is even optimized for blind people with aria tags.

The amount of bots is halved now since we got more users.

Total files with LOC: 1,204
Python files: 730~60.6% of annotated files
Python LOC: ~114,378
JavaScript LOC ~53,362
Records in database: ~350,000

That`s not a small project.

It also has huge documentation.

I hope some more of you want to join the community. We can`t keep hanging around on a place that gives 3/4 500 errors right? Have some self respect :P
Devplace offers the same culture as devRant and has only benefits on top of it. Much is learnt from devRant, like no need for moderation. Just won`t do it.

On top, this project feels like a Mercedes, No bloat. Nothing jank. Very nice using PWA.
