emulator developer folks: is there an off-the-shelf software package suitable for an app compatibility database. I don't want to use a wiki and I don't want to use an issue tracker.
FYI: i'm probably gonna write my own software for running an app compatibility database for an emulator. it won't be very complex initially, but it will be open-source and somewhat customisable, so who knows, maybe it'll be useful to someone else down the line
I started writing my own to use for touchHLE. it's going to be very lightweight, because the existing solutions weren't practical for me, but customisable, because I want this one to be practical for others. still very unfinished
GitHub's own tutorial for how you use OAuth with their API and get basic user info is out of date, but you know what's not out of date? that's right, my code to do that: https://github.com/hikari-no-yume/app-compatibility-db/commit/7d56a1d485739e87897c5a5cfececaddf42e5736
I think I figured out how to do sessions in PHP in the spirit of the GDPR and e-Cookie law (but maybe not the letter, I didn't check)
okay so the big thing i have left to do is screenshot uploads. this is annoying because of file handling, image processing, privacy, disk space… luckily i have thought of an absolutely horrible solution that solves all of these. oh boy
as usual I forgot to git add the new template file lmao 
as you may have seen, I got it complete enough to be happy to go live with it: https://social.noyu.me/@hikari/statuses/01HCDN752A0SGDNY4DJWK30RZ0
I've given it a license now, too, so you can use this web app for your own project if you want.
@hikari that's a very funny implementation lmao
semi relatedly still contemplating how i want to implement a big-print program in js, ideally supporting vectors and pdfs, but doing so would turn it from a weekend to do it with canvas and images to at least a week
@leftpaddotpy use SVG and then throw it at a PDF generator?
@hikari the challenge is that i want to accept pdfs as input also. i think the approach that would work is to create a large virtual pdf document of the entire virtual page, then use a pdf library to chop it into smaller pages with an alignment grid added and export those to a new pdf.
@hikari libaa? ;)
@0x2ba22e11 hahahaha now that would be funny
@hikari fuck yeah PHP (unironically)
@leftpaddotpy there's no better tool for a lightweight minimal-dependencies webapp!
