This repository is under the process of being rewritten. Stay tuned! You can check the current progress on client here and server here.

The reasons behind this rewrite include:

• Improving user experience: better upload form, larger thumbnails, making top navigation stay out of user way. Maybe other goodies!
• Finally having good, well-documented REST API.
• Simplifying user registration.
• Replacing PHP with Python 3.5.
• Replacing prior JS mess with proper MVC.
• Replacing MySQL (MariaDB) with Postgres.
• Replacing composer, npm, mod_rewrite (=Apache), imagick, ffmpeg or gnash and pdo_mysql with just pip, npm and ffmpeg.
• Replacing grunt with npm scripts.
• Making hosting more flexible: offer simple self hosted application that can be combined with any reverse proxy.
