Timeline (last 90 days)
AniLounge is a tracking platform for global animated works (not limited to Japanese anime or Western cartoons)
AniLounge was built by an independent developer over the course of one year
AniLounge is live at AniLounge.net and is fully open-sourced under the AGPL license
AniLounge uses Vue 3 + TypeScript on the frontend and Express with a PostgreSQL database on the backend
The AniLounge project was originally built on MongoDB and later migrated to PostgreSQL due to the large number of relational associations between the data
Setting up AniLounge locally requires only a single docker compose command and configuring free TMDB and MAL API keys
The AniLounge project includes sample data and demo accounts so contributors can experience the full functionality before registering
Open issues in the AniLounge project include Japanese text and emojis displaying as boxes in share cards requiring fallback fonts, the Cypress directory having only placeholder tests requiring smoke tests to be written, and the configuration documentation incorrectly listing nodemon when node --watch is actually used
AniLounge's GitHub repository is anirudh-naveen/anilounge
Choosing the AGPL license can prevent commercial entities from free-riding on community code, but also limits the possibility of enterprise-level commercial integration to some extent
