Cafecamp (early 2008)

This repo contains the source code of a social network I developed (and was operated for a while) in early 2008.

Don't expect MVC. Don't expect clean code.

Don't expect any programming abstractions or concepts here.

The only thing it does is: work

If you want to get it working. grep the codebase for "some_password" and replace it with the password of the database. And along with it the database name, user and host. Some parts of the site might require the Flickr API. For that grep the codebase for "FLICKR_API" and replace it with Flickr API key and secret.

When I quit working on this, I had already written some part of my own OpenSocial parser, so there is minimal support for OpenSocial apps. Only the gadget spec is implemented as per what I faintly remember, so Google Gadgets can be run on this easily. There are a couple example apps (stole them) in the appstore directory. How to add an app to your profile? I don't fucking remember. It was some complex url.

Screenshots (All taken in 2008, so don't blame me if it looks different now)

This is what it looked like

I must have been fooling around with the CSS for different colors. Shows me re-arranging an app, the cursor isn't visible. And ya it was developed on Windows. Kill me now!
