Inspiration

I love federated systems like mastodon and pixelfed, so I wanted to make my own federated service, and have it mirror the functionality of snapchat!

What it does

nothing! But it has a very lovely docker compose setup, a CLI, a mysql database, and a stubbed out "frontend!" Rust is hard.

How I built it

99999999 stackoverflow pages

Challenges I ran into

I don't know how to write rust

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

my docker compose setup has hot reloading on literally everything which means coding on this would be really easy and fun if it were in a language I knew lmao

What I learned

how to write rust lmao

What's next for Picopik

I'll be actually implementing WRITING to that database from the CLI! After that, some weak buttons for the admin interface to create a user, and then it's going to be some serious database fussing, refactoring everything (because the code is gross) and implementing activitypub properly!
