If this isn't the appropriate place to post this, please move it.
Wearethene.ws left a void, this doesn't fill it but it tries to. This is a beta run, with very limited memory and CPU on Glitch.me. if anons are interested in a news feed style method of viewing and sharing notables, id love feedback.

>click on notables to expand and see full post

>clicking on a news item's title automatically puts the share URL in your address bar.

ty BO. No, unaffiliated with wearethene.ws, but it was a shame when it went under as it did a lot of good in spreading the work of anons outside of the board.

dynamic meta tags & sharing
Implemented dynamic share links.
>Click the share button on the bottom right of a notable and its share link will be copied to your clipboard
>these links carry dynamically generated meta tags when posted to social media or other services that utilize meta tags
Good for sharing notables online
>share links work, but there are some hitches in WATN scrolling down to the linked notable here and there. Will work on that soon.

Attempting to rewrite the front-end codebase to work with modules rather than one large spaghetti app.js. After that, on to modularizing the backend, and then finally redoing scraping logic and the json structure to incorporate multiple attachments.
until then

Perhaps this is bloat, but after noticing lots of screenshots of Twitter Videos in notables, I put in a tool to extract the MP4 from the link to the Tweet.

Yeah and it works well, it's just something I've noticed with anons posting Screencaps so why not have a little tool on watn. It's more procrastination, I have to revamp the entire scraping system to incorporate multiple attachments and update the archive.

Wearethene.ws ran into some unwanted publicity, no? I remember the site being featured on mainstream media after the 2020 election, and it rapidly declined from there.

Made a scraper that catalogs a bit more of the data from each post, and am testing with a renderer that more closely mimics the imageboard look. Unsure if it will translate well to audiences who aren't used to imageboards.

Theoretically this front end could be used as a wrapper for displaying all 8kun threads, which is an interesting idea I may tackle at another point in time.

Scraper works with a cache manager. It scans for all breads, then processes each bread for notables. If a bread is already processed it moved on to the next bread.

A disclaimer that seems to have worked:
Disclaimer
The content, materials, and subject matter contained herein, including but not limited to text, media, or other forms of expression, do not necessarily represent or reflect the views, opinions, or positions of YATN. Any statements, perspectives, or content presented on this platform are solely attributable to their respective authors, creators, or contributors and should not be construed as endorsed by or representative of YouAreTheNews ("YATN.")
>Legal Protections Under Section 230
YATN operates within the framework of protections afforded by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. § 230. This federal statute provides significant legal safeguards for providers of interactive computer services in the United States, as outlined below:
<1. Statutory Immunity:
Pursuant to Section 230(c)(1), providers and users of an "interactive computer service" are granted immunity from liability for content published by third parties. Specifically, the statute states that "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider."
<2. Scope of Immunity:
The aforementioned immunity extends broadly, encompassing protection against civil liability, state criminal laws, and certain federal civil statutes. This statutory shield effectively insulates YATN, as an interactive computer service provider, from legal responsibility for content generated and posted by users or other third parties on its platform.
<3. Constitutional Considerations:
The immunity provided by Section 230 serves to promote and preserve First Amendment principles by fostering an environment conducive to free speech and innovation in the digital sphere. This statutory protection enables platforms such as YATN to host diverse user-generated content without incurring the risk of legal liability for each individual post.
<4. Abrogation of Common Law Distinctions:
Section 230 effectively nullifies the common law distinction between "publishers" and "distributors" in the context of interactive computer services. Consequently, YATN does not assume automatic liability for potentially unlawful content merely by virtue of its awareness of such content.
<5. Statutory Limitations:
Notwithstanding the broad protections conferred by Section 230, it is imperative to note that said immunity does not extend to violations of federal criminal statutes, intellectual property laws, or communications privacy laws. Users remain legally accountable for their own conduct and content, and may be subject to liability for any unlawful activities or infringements committed through their use of the platform.
<6. Legislative Intent and Impact:
The legislative intent behind Section 230 was to facilitate the growth and development of interactive online services while simultaneously encouraging responsible content moderation practices. This statutory framework has been instrumental in shaping the contemporary digital landscape, enabling the proliferation of social media platforms, online marketplaces, and various interactive online services.
YATN avails itself of these statutory protections, which enable the provision of a platform for user-generated content while maintaining equilibrium between the principles of free expression and responsible service management. The protections afforded by Section 230 are fundamental to YATN's operations and its ability to offer an open platform for user interaction and content sharing.
