Canopy - 0.2.2-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 the piped and the internet archive REST api's, as well as yt-dlp, 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, CSRF mitigation, and password hashing are handled by industry-standard open source libraries such as express-sessions, csrf-sync, and bcrypt, however it IS hobbiest software, and it should be treated as such.

The Canopy codebase does not, nor will it ever contain:

  • Advertisements (targetted or otherwise)
  • Proprietary Code
  • Cryptocurrency/Blockchain integration
  • 'Analytics/Telemtry' spyware
  • The use of video sources which require proprietary 'Digital Rights Management Ristricitons Malware' such as Widevine.

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.
