How I develop Peeper is funny

in #open-source5 years ago
  • In 2010, thought in a social network called Wetter. After seeing "Weather" phrase in a NDS Pokémon game, I thought "Twitter" is a parody of "Twister", then I've drawn Wetter on MS Paint.
  • In 2011, did a draw on paper about a social network based on Blogger, connecting different blogs through a registry (similar is done on Fritter, but with a independent and working approach)

  • In 2012, downloaded a pirated version of PhpFox and turned it into Peeper, installing plugins and modifying while creating a pleasant and engaging social network
  • In 2013 made better amazing and so modern for the eppoch, but a technician attacked the HD (PHP/any markup languages are sensible and slow for transferring on disk)
  • In 2014, re-done Peeper from stratch and based it on Bootstrap. It were a mix between Twitter, and how people said, a "purple Facebook". Couldn't keep the server expenses, and SuperDominios host didn't even sent a email with its files.

  • In 2015, created another PhpFox and modified a little, but left it. A few (but funny) posts were made
  • In 2016, forgot about Peeper being a centralized site, and didn't renewed peeper.com.br, which I were renewing since 2012
  • In 2017, clonned ZeroMe (first social network of ZeroNet), which made Kaffie/April angry
  • In 2018 tried to install PhpFox and create a commercial Peeper, but PHP/server has shown bugs
  • In 2019, clonned Dat/Beaker Browser's Fritter, where I'm writing now. Hope I understand all its codebase (as it seems to be simpler than ZeroMe and without CoffeeScript) and port it to Eventlr.

One of the ideas is omni, referencing all social networks and their data, while syncing in bridges. ZeroMe (manual on Floflis) and Peepeth are the first integrations, also porting archive data from Facebook, Orkut and Twitter.

And this is the first blog post of Peeper.
Why visiting a personal post if you can have it on personal profile?
Ok: widgets, fancy scripts, etc. So, just sync your blog posts with your blog site, so Ghost/Jekyll/Wordpress/Hugo integration can be considered.
