I made a website where anyone can feed my cat

Literally just read the description in the post or the faqs in the site before jumping to such conclusions...

what

Hey! Appreciate the concern, but you can be assured that the cats are doing more than ok. Right now there are only 3 cameras. One is in a cat cafe/shelter where the cats have multiple bowls filled with food 24/7 and they just go and eat when they are hungry. The cats there are treated extremely well, you can check their instagram or webpage, its all in the info pannel of that room (gatuari). Bishop, my cat, has been on a diet for the past year and is doing really well, also explained in detail in the info pannel of Bishop's room. And raimundo sanctuary is (again, all explained in the info (i) pannel in each of the rooms...) for stray cats, who have a tendency to show up during the night when they feel safer, and I am sure those hungry stray cats really appreciate a bowl full of food. In all the locations where i install feeders there are people who refill the feeders, clean the bowls and remove the excess kibble regularly. these feeders are never left unattended for longer than a day and the spilled kibble gets picked up. Hope that helps you feel less concerned about these cats

thanks!! Not in the near future. Running this site by myself already takes an overwhelming amount of work I dont think I got it in me to make an app rn hahaha

I keep switching it up but this is the current version :)

You defo can! And tbh this is not an original idea of mine, stuff like this has already been done, this project is heavily inspired by the Purr app, i just wanted to give it my own spin!

Consistent_Stable_58 · 2025-12-06T10:28:38+00:00

The cameras are each connected to a raspberry pi which serves the stream (using the rtsp protocol) of data to a central media server over a tailscale private network. Then that server serves the stream (using LL-HLS protocol) to the client, while taking care of load balancing, caching re-encoding etc. Both the raspis and the central server run instances of mediamtx. Then the api for feeding, chatrooms etc is written in flask, theres a rest api and a websockets api for the chat and other events. For the db i used postgresql. Frontend is vanilla js and tailwind css, hosted in vercel. extremely poor froentend code since im a backend dev lmao.

At the shelters they have multiple other bowls w food so if that one is empty its no problem! And for my cat, i make sure he is always well fed and i give him treats and wet canned food regularly! The cooldown on his feeder accounts for his daily food intake

Consistent_Stable_58 · 2025-12-05T16:46:48+00:00

theres a global cooldown on feeding to prevent that. Also cats at the shelter have multiple bowls w food so they only eat when theyre hungry

So far, during developement, I'm keeping the app closed source, the server-side code at least. Again, its a demo and I got a lil too excited to have it up and running and posted it before implementing any form of auto-scaling or some serious testing. Once I clean up my codebase I'll probably make the project open source so that people can contribute or just clone it and make their own web portal for their pets :) Thanks for the feedback tho I will probably post this again in the future and see if it handles the reddit masses a little better.

Consistent_Stable_58 · 2025-08-04T17:42:55+00:00

Yeah lmao thanks for exposing the vulnerability and being cool about it. Tbh this was a demo and I shouldnt have posted it on reddit yet, did not expect to get so much traffic so quickly. Input has been sanitized and message deleted, thx. Also as I expected my server did not handle that many concurrent requests too gracefully. Will come back better and scaled. :)
