Open Source Radar – Share, Collab, Find Software Projects

Comments

ReddBird•6mo ago
I recently launched my web app for devs, by devs, to share personal software projects with the world. Any stage of development is welcome on this platform.

I added features to prioritize open source projects. I also added comment/like features, among others, to really highlight finding collaborators.

I plan on making the GitHub public soon, and will share the link. Tech stack is angular, Java, and I’m running the web server on my local home server.

I recently designed the UI, and would really appreciate feedback.

Looking forward to hearing back from some of you. Cheers.

hammyhavoc•6mo ago
What are you using for a database? Or do I even want to know the answer to that?
ReddBird•6mo ago
I’m using a .txt file to store all the data
ReddBird•6mo ago
Actually, multiple .txt files, each in own container, and there is a kubernetes cluster to handle the load balancing for the writes to the .txt files. Pretty ingenious if you ask me.
ReddBird•6mo ago
Hi Hammy,

Please see my response to your other comment. Not sure if you picked up on it, but I was kidding! I would never do that in a production environment.

hammyhavoc•6mo ago
No privacy policy, but you're saving PII? Regulatory compliance issue.

Cookies for Google Analytics, but no cookie consent banner? Another regulatory compliance issue.

No way to delete my account? Yet another regulatory compliance issue.

No contact info or info about the platform nor where in the world it's based? Wild.

Passwords can't exceed 20 characters? What year is it?

No way to change your email address or password? This smells like LLM jank.

Please tell me you didn't just vibe code and upload this on a whim.

What on Earth is going on with your `robots.txt`?

"for devs, by devs", what else have you developed?

ReddBird•6mo ago
Yeah I mean I threw it up in a short amount of time, couple of things to address so thanks for your help.
hammyhavoc•6mo ago
That's not how regulatory compliance works.

You invited people to a site you made publicly available that is not doing the utmost basic of things and you show zero consideration for your users publicly when confronted over your lack of compliance in your legal obligations to your users (e.g., me). You even continue to have it public with these problems mentioned above.

Someone should make an example of people like you as to why rushing to upload vibe coded slop is an idiotic idea when you have zero grasp of the law and didn't even consider seeking legal counsel to sanity-check what you were doing.

The problem isn't going away. You even scored an own-goal by having Cloudflare's "always online" feature enabled to add your non-compliant site to the Wayback Machine. Nice going, genius. Bad moves at every step of the way, and it is abundantly clear you are out of your depth.

You're self-congratulating in public over storing data in .txt files whilst not complying with the utmost basic of laws when handling PII and doing nothing about it.

Good luck. Your reputation is shot.

ReddBird•6mo ago
Hi @hammy havoc,

Thank you for your feedback. I plan on adding your recommendations when I have some time over next weekend. You’re absolutely right, the site needs to be compliant. I have it taken down until I make it compliant. I really appreciate you taking the time to bring those items to my attention.

Not sure if you picked up on it, but I was joking about the .txt file database. I have an appropriate, popular SQL based database engine to store the data.

If you want to, the site will be up by Sunday with your recommended changes. Thank you!

ReddBird•6mo ago
Do you have any other suggestions? Comments like these are very valuable to me. I’m having a lot of fun working on Open Source Radar, and I would really enjoy to hear more from you, Hammy.

Any features? Other areas of the site I can improve

FerkiHN•6mo ago
Hello, now the design is great, you did a great job, now you can either rest or start promoting your site again. Or if you still have the strength, you can add theme customization, for example: light, dark, system, custom (the ability to customize the color of the site for yourself).

And I don't know what it's all about, but your site sometimes loads for me, sometimes it doesn't, it seems like it decides for itself when to load and when not to.

FerkiHN•6mo ago
