About Project

works pretty similar to a well known social network, but you can host it on your very own infrastructure. No external dependencies needed. Focus of this project is stability. security and performance.

Anouncement

On 13.02.2020 i decided to mark version 2.0 as deprecated and started to rewrite everything from scratch. At moment the master has less features than 2.0, but iam working hard to restore the most important ones. Feel free to join the development process by creating tasks (feature request) or make code improvements.

3. History

Version 1.0 (est 2008)

Version 2.0 (est 2014)

This version was a complete rewrite, build on a my very own php framework and with the help of react for frontend stuff. Sadly the frontend code became not maintainable also i made huge mistakes how the components communicate with each other.

Working features:

• Share (Websites, Images, Videos, SourceCode)
• Like / Dislike / Comments
• #hash tag search (orderd by popularity)
• @user mentions and notifications via websockets
• REST API
• Oauth2 (Facebook, Github)
• Backend with Dashboard

One side project was to visualize the related hashtags.

Another cool feature was the Google Chrome extension to share content with just a click.

Please keep in mind Version 2.0 is not longer maintained

Demo is still alive here: https://social.codejungle.org/

Version 3.0 (est 2020)

Please report feature requests and bugs. Demo is here: https://dev.codejungle.org/

Working features are:

• Share, Commnet, Reshare, Likes
• OpenGraph Tag parsing
• OAuth login via Github and Facebook

Attention This is a early stage beta, things can change drasticly.
