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 was security and performance.

3. History

Version 1.0 (est 2008)

Sadly no screenshoot are available anymore.

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/

Planed features:

oauth login websockets (notifications) hashtags interpretation image gallery profile

low prio syntaxhighlighting
