quivo: Watercolor of a daisy (Default)
[personal profile] quivo posting in [community profile] fanarchive

So I took a hiatus from this because I had to move out of state suddenly. I've time to work on this again now, and I'm just going to bite the bullet and stop treating this as a Special Fandom Community Project that needs to be taken mega seriously. Realistically, what I want out of this is a multi-author story archive that works for me (easy to host myself, tags and categories that make more sense than AO3, good ui for posting works), so that's what I'm currently aiming for.

Obviously this is still an open source project, so if you want to make suggestions, poke at the source and contribute, or fork the repo and grimly change all the fonts, knock yourself out.

Current to do list:

  • pick a goddamn license, seriously.
  • accept that I will be coding an admin interface (long story short, I looked into the abyss that is Django admin plugins and customization and decided I wasn't going down that hole). Cry. Cut out Django's okay interface and replace it with my shitty one
  • accessibility tweaks galore. I don't think I'll be doing special ~fancy CSS/JS shit focused on this yet, but at the very least the HTML structure of the barebones site should function sensibly for keyboard users, screen readers etc
  • consider stripping out even more of the barebones CSS library I started with, or exchanging it for something I like better
  • get SSL working with letsencrypt on heroku
  • slap together pythonanywhere install instructions & make sure they work. Because having not one but TWO easy serverless options for anyone who wants to screw around with this is aces.

This is probably too much to do, but who cares! It's going to be fun!!
