LibreAV.org - FOSS software news and info

Post by milkii »

Hey folks, so I'm making a website; https://libreav.org

It pulls software release feeds as well as various blog feeds, displays the former in both card and river views and the latter on the news page, has information on a larger set of software, a gallery with a selection of software images in random order, and various basic audio (and, later, more video/visual) FOSS infos and links. There's also a moderated submission form for anyone wishing to add an entry.

It has been in alpha, it's now in alphabeta, not yet in beta. This is because I've just fixed the Overview header colours, and things mostly work. Still, there are various bugs in Drupal and its modules that I can't deal with, listed on the Weblog page, and my lack of deeper Drupal ability has hindered proper exporting of configuration so as to make the site itself fully open.

Enjoy, feedback welcome, as are submissions. One day I'll get to implementing moderated changes to existing entries, but, until then, fire a comment or message to me to fix something. Yes there are similar sites, but they do different things. I go through phases of loving and loathing data entry, so expect sporadic additions. Unlike my TnS wiki, I'm avoiding adding software that is in very early development or is old and currently broken.

There is also a chat room with a bot that posts updates, #libreav on Libera.Chat IRC, and I think there is also a way to access that via Matrix. The feed url for the aggregated software update info is https://libreav.org/updates/feed

Hey man, I've been a daily visitor to the news section for a couple of weeks now and I really like it. There are and have been other AV news sites but yours is the first I haven't hated immediately, so well done.

I've also been suggesting it to people on Reddit when they make the "hey I'm new to Linux and audio how do I make all my windows software work" along with KXStudio, LM forum, the old libremusic tutorials and a few other sites as I rant about how Linux isn't windows and you need to RTFM (but I'm a bit nicer about it, since I don't want to scare them off) and learn how to set up Linux for audio production. So yeah, I like it.

Nice work.
Nate!

Is https://libreav.org/updates/feed what you're looking for?

No. Not found the right ADHD med yet. Or someone to help me find someone more experienced in Drupal for the rough/lacking edges.

I mean, the site automatically updates the existing software entry release info and blog news every day, but I'm not adding any new entries, though literaly anyone can, given the submission form is available to all to complete (I just need to made unhidden after submission).

Oh wait, you mean the aggregated info/news isn't updating, that makes more sense :)

I think it was the request rate given the number of entries it had gotten up to, I've lowered it, shall hopefully fill up all missing updates in the next 24h. Thank you!

The polling interval issue got fixed.

Then a number of now 404 feed links choked the queue.

I've cleared the queue now so things should start to update for sure..

Thanks. I really should set up some FOSS pingdom thing. I've been in a field working at a festival then decompressing. I'll have a look at the site today.
