I found this abandoned repository
https://gitgud.io/parley/Haruko.
It's imageboard software that's not that old but still works. This is what it looked like:
https://archive.is/qiLyz.
and I would like your help in updating it. It would be a project for “new” imageboard software made with PHP because, from what I've seen, there aren't many like this left, so I created this repository:
https://github.com/bigdustycheese/AobaIB which I will update and you will also help me with.
>>Why should we help you with this? What do I get in return, OP?It's simply a collaborative fork. If you want to help me, that's fine. No one is forcing you.
(If you see this on other imageboards, it's not spam.)

What audience are you talking about if, in the last 10 years, chanes have lost so much relevance?

Why don't you honestly like PHP?

>>22119The internet going into shit as a result of ID verification. If we make a good imageboard (not in php) then imageboards might can have a grand return.
№22122[Quote]
>>22120PHP is an insanely outdated and vulnerable language which nobaldi should use ever again. Its a joke language which lost relevance a good while ago.
№22124[Quote]
>>22121>>ID verificationIf you want JavaScript, you have jschan
If you prefer GO, you have gochan
With all that in mind and taking your point of view, I don't understand why imageboards haven't made a strong comeback. Is this a collective idea, or do we prefer to stay in the shadows? I'm fixing this imageboard software because I see a lot of potential in it, but I need people to create interaction and make it more relevant.
№22125[Quote]
>>22124But Javascript and Go is garbage but not as bad as fucking PHP. Imageboards is rather forgotten because it changed nothing over the years and social media became so strong barely even anyone knows the existence of imageboards anymore. With the ID verification its likely that social media just falls out and with the right move we can make imageboards popular. However for that we need to basically reinvent the well including not using fucking PHP.

>>22122PHP is not obsolete today. You are exaggerating. The current versions of PHP (8.1, 8.2, 8.3) have better performance, stricter typing, a JIT compiler, and other modern features.
78% of websites use PHP.
Remember that security does not depend on the language, it depends on how you program.
I know that PHP 5 may have gotten a bad reputation due to poor design and unsafe practices, but that is not the case today.

>>22126Its still a trash godless language no matter how many times you patch it its going to stay the same limited garbage. With other language you have full control over everything meanwhile PHP still have the same bullshit you have to avoid every single time. And that 78% is like mostly smaller sites or SNCA wordpress garbage. No big site really uses PHP anymore.

>>22125What languages do you recommend using for the new “renaissance” that you mention so often?
№22130[Quote]
>>22129Basically anything is better than PHP. (except Javascript, C#, python and other high level garbage) There is a lot of option like java, C++, rust and other shit

>>22127I am against censorship. The internet should be free for everyone. That is why some people prefer to host their imageboards on so-called darknets

>>22130nigga you're fucking crazy How the hell are you going to make an imageboard with fucking JAVA or fucking C++? C++? That's total crap for this kind of thing, bro understand that the goal is to make it accessible so that everyone can have their own set up on their host, and you come along and want us to reinvent the wheel with fucking JAVA?
№22135[Quote]
>>22134Just because you are trash that doesn't mean I can't make an imageboard software with java which you can setup with a few clicks easily.

№22150[Quote]
>>22146I see what your saying. One thing to think about is there are a lot of image boards out there. what do we need to change to make them better?
I feel like we need to brainstorm a clear path.
№22151[Quote]
>>22144That's what I'm trying to tell you. PHP still works very well today. Besides, it's one of the easiest things to learn, and you could even encourage people to program.
№22152[Quote]
>>22150I would make it modular so you can add basically any element to the imageboard you want.
>>22151This won't change my opinion on PHP for me its gonna stay a joke language which should die already.
№22153[Quote]
>>22150I don't know what the other two say, but I would choose PHP, to be honest, because believe me, it's very easy, optimized, and versatile.

>>22151I'll be back on the forum later. 8pm or so. running servers with extra machines laying around. would be interested in a new/better image board. Expanding the soynet is always good.

But you can all just make it in PHP I don't really care. If I really want it I could out do it in java.
№22156[Quote]
>>22152Did PHP hurt you that much?
But seriously, brother, I honestly don't know how you think many people will help an imageboard that's written in Java. Besides, it would be very difficult to set up, wouldn't it?

Is this the direction we want to go? this forum is similar to other board software. also crazy idea, but maybe we try to not use any type of SQL database.
№22281[Quote]
Lots of questions… What even is the goal. I propose some ideas.
Make a very small version then build off of that.
Modular design, maybe.
Use formatted text files for storage.
Convert uploaded images to something like .jpg with a 60% or 75% quality.
just some ideas.

>>22280You could fork this same software to work without SQL.
>>22281Well, the truth is that the original fork on which aobaIB is based is a bit old (2023), but by fixing certain things, you can solve problems and add new features. You can also create modules.

all the branding is hardcoded, instead of fixing that by using a variable he's just swapped out the old hardcoded site name for his own
