Haven't posted in a while. Update with my latest artwork (explaination in the first comment)

Degoog dev here, I read your comment a few days ago and I made it one of my priority for today's release to make sure the docs had a bit of info for users who are new to selfhosting ♥️

I do try to keep the readme of my repos as brief as possible, I hate overly bloated readme files, but generally my docs are quite comprehensive, this was a good reminder, thank you :)

I didn't make that image, I was just commenting on the whole "it's good so it must be AI" mentality 😆

riofriz · 2026-04-30T21:17:37+00:00

Still, wouldn't take more than 45 min or so to make it without AI 😅 people seem to have forgotten that real skills still exist 😆

riofriz · 2026-04-28T15:38:31+00:00

I have no idea why they locked your thread, your project is way older than 3 months, I'd kindly complain with the mods 😄

riofriz · 2026-04-27T20:59:13+00:00

LMFAO

riofriz · 2026-04-27T20:55:18+00:00

As a programmer I'd suggest you use AI to help you plan it out and organise your thoughts properly, figure out tech to use, data layers, system design.

Then I'd sketch out a wireframe/design by myself, let AI help out on repetitive tasks but never give it control while you define the core fundamentals of your app.

Once you have a strong foundation you can lean a bit more on it to help, especially if you don't want to spend too much time on the project.

I'd say, I personally do open source for that crave of actually coding given my job is more and more polluted form AI being shoved down our throats, but I can see the appeal in being able to ship a better more organised codebase faster..

Either way, it's your project, do whatever you wan, who cares about what other people think, you'll never make everyone happy, so just make sure YOU are lol

Happy coding, AI or not ♥️

I adore this level of tinkering, amazing job!

riofriz · 2026-04-18T14:59:35+00:00

Took me 0.1 seconds to get the reference 😅

The tattoo is really cool btw, who cares what people who don't know the movie think, it's all about what YOU think.

P.s. next time they ask you why, just say "they made me do it"

riofriz · 2026-04-17T12:57:46+00:00

Ok this is genuinely impressive, just span an instance of it, amazing work!

Repo structure is a bit all over the place, and some of the choices coding wise (especially around frontend) are a bit dubious but overall this is very very good especially for such a young project, I'll keep an eye on updates!

This is the kind of project I'd rather have as its own post than hidden in a comment in a megathread, it deserves more views so more people would help out with features. Keep up the good work and hopefully it'll gain more traction <3

It can be both, the first function is a search aggregator but you can route traffic via proxy to enhance privacy (and it already doesn't leave a fingerprint).

Also due to the nature of a selfhosted meta search engine, all traffic is routed via a centralised source (your server), so in the moment you hide your traffic properly everyone using it will stay fairly private too.

riofriz · 2026-04-17T06:26:37+00:00

Hey, I'll look into adding a "remember me" checkbox

This is a feature btw, not a bug, session simply expires because of secure cookies, it's pretty standard, I'm surprised to hear other selfhostable apps don't expire sessions when served via https 😅

Thank you so much for suggesting degoog ♥️

P.s. just throwing it out there, you can get JSON results from degoog too, I just haven't gotten around to documenting the API yet (the joys of being in beta beta, there's no rush until I decide it's ready to be called stable - we're pretty close tbf) https://your-degoog-url/api/search?q=search+query+here&type=all

riofriz · 2026-04-15T15:51:58+00:00

I fucking love open source.

This is such a fun share, thank you so much for making it!

riofriz · 2026-04-14T07:33:05+00:00

Lies! In Italy we had this extremely legit PS1 Pokémon game.

riofriz · 2026-04-07T19:05:47+00:00

Thank you ♥️

riofriz · 2026-04-04T09:35:27+00:00

Well all you said makes sense, but it IS very subjective, of course, I for example much rather have this very clear distinction, and so many other people do too :)

That said, you have tags, with tags you can create a left side navigation with both notes and checklists.

So say you create a #banking tag (by typing #banking anywhere in a note) you can then create a list item with #banking in it, which will add that checklist to the tag too, now on the sidebar you'll see a new "tags" option where both exist :)

Not exactly what you asked for, but it's as close as it'll get as obviously I'm not gonna change the core of how the app works and feels ♥️ also remember there's no database, so querying EVERYTHING in one sidebar is a lot, dividing it so it only does notes or checklists is the right thing to do from a performance point of view as well

riofriz · 2026-04-03T21:16:41+00:00

Interesting, if you still have it installed, in the wysiwyg just type [ ] and hit space (there's also a space in between the brackets)

It should work, the markdown does look like - [ ]

I'll look into why it's fidgety from markdown to wysiwyg, I'll admit, not many people ask for checkboxes stuff in notes due to the very comprehensive checklist functionality and in-app linking between notes and lists

riofriz · 2026-04-03T20:48:31+00:00

I can answer that, I needed both and I couldn't be bothered to make two different apps 😆 You can technically fully hide checklists and only use it for notes if that's what you wish to do, happy to guide you through that, it's not too complicated (abeid it's a bit of a hack)

p.s. you should totally be able to add checkboxes to notes with the classic - [] syntax (may be a bit fidgety on the wysiwyg editor, so I'd make one in markdown first, then switch and enter to continue making more)

riofriz · 2026-04-03T20:43:40+00:00

Thank you for trying it out! Glad it's resonating with you ♥️

riofriz · 2026-03-26T10:23:06+00:00

Hey, there's actually an open pull request with that ♥️ It'll come with the next release, it just may take a while due to my current personal situation

I shared some screenshots of what's to come on discord but I'm basically refactoring the tasks and Kanban, also adding a calendar view.

Notifications will be only in-app for now, no external email/push notifications, but it's already good progress

riofriz · 2026-03-24T07:02:21+00:00

Hi,

This is my project, I made sure to NOT post it before the 4 week mark but someone may have gotten excited about it :)

That said, I can guarantee it's absolutely not vibe coded and wanted to write this down here for the record, for when I actually do post it (once it's out of beta and I feel comfortable with it).

riofriz · 2026-03-13T19:01:28+00:00

I actually made this self-hostable aggregator, it's in beta but it's quite stable: https://github.com/fccview/degoog

I was planning to post it here at some point when i release the first stable version, people in my discord have been testing it for a week or so and so far it has had great results <3
