Introducing Momiji: a Gopher interface for Fediseer!
gopher://geidontei.chaotic.ninja/1/usr/mima/momiji/
Since the official web GUI of #Fediseer requires JavaScript (seriously what’s up with that, is this a Lemmy thing lol :P), I thought I’d write something that uses Fediseer’s API, and the interface wouldn’t need JavaScript to be loaded from the website and can be viewed by any plaintext-friendly client. So I settled with #Gopher! :alice_wine:
Currently you can only lookup some basic information per instance, and see all domains which they have endorsed, censured, hesitated, and guaranteed (and vice-versa) in a pure plain text format. I might write an interface for the whitelisted, suspicious, censured, and hesitated lists of instances too, but I’m not promising anything. :P As it stands, this simple Gopher CGI fits my needs for now. :kokoro_yes:
Logging in with your #API key is not supported (probably a bad idea anyway due to Gopher typically being unencrypted :satsuki_sadge:), so you won’t be able to see some domain lists of instances that have restricted the viewing of endorsements/censures/hesitations they give, or modify anything in Fediseer.
It’s all written in #POSIX #shell script, with the dcgi currently written with #Geomyidae’s gophermap format in mind. You can see the source code (which you can treat as being in the public domain) in the URL I’ve given. Warning: It’s pure shell script cancer! :kyou:
FYI, the GUI supports enabling server-side-rendering. You can deploy your own version with SSR enabled and then every GET request works without javascript.
@rikudou@lemmings.world Ah, that’s nice to know! I might spin up my own web frontend instance internally and then just enable SSR there. Thanks! :cirno_thumbs_up:
