Canopy - 0.1-INDEV

Canopy - /ˈkæ.nə.pi/:

  • The upper layer of foliage and branches of a forest, containing the majority of animal life.

Canopy is a community chat & synced video embedding web application, intended to replace fore.st as the server software for ourfore.st. This new codebase intends to solve the following issues with the current CyTube based software:

  • Unmaintained upstream codebase.
  • Different goals.
  • Different coding styles.
  • Obsolete Technology and Dependencies.
  • General Clunk
  • Less Unique Community Identity

Canopy intends to be a simple node/express.js app. It leverages yt-dlp and the internet archive cli utility for metadata gathering. Persistant storage is handled by mongodb, as it's document based nature inherintly works well for cleanly storing large config documents for user/channel settings, and the low use of inter-collection references within the canopy software. All hardcore security functions like session handling and password hashing are handled by industry-standard open source libraries such as express-sessions and bcrypt, however it IS hobbiest software, and it should be treated as such.

The Canopy codebase does not, and never will contain:

  • Advertisements (targetted or otherwise)
  • Proprietary Code
  • 'Analytics/Telemtry' spyware

Thirdparty media providers may or may not contain all of the above atrocities :P, always use an ad-blocker!

Our current goal is to create a cleaner, more modern, purpose-built codebase that has feature-parity with the current version of fore.st, while writing improvements where possible. Once this is accomplished, and ourfore.st has been migrated, work will continue to re-create features from TTN, while also building completely new ones as well.
