Simple self-hosted voting for posts
I built this after launching a blog site with Hugo and wanting a simple solution for adding support for upvotes and downvotes on posts. For the database, I was initially leaning towards using a key-value database like LevelDB to store the votes but chose SQLite because it has widespread support and gives me the ability to add other features later (e.g. comments).
Simple self-hosted voting for posts launched on February 13, 2024 with 6 votes and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.

Minimal, no-JS web forum software2022 · github.com · ▲392Hello HN! I've found my SQL knowledge to be lacking, so I made a project that uses SQLite as a backend. As it is intended for self-hosting I aim to make it easy to set up and maintain. Getting it up & running takes no more than a few commands (bar setting up a proxy such as nginx, which is out of scope). I've set up a "demo" site at https://forum.agreper.com/ if you want to try out the UI.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
