file-feed

description: a feed of files stored in my public sharing directory. It integrates relevant metadata like file size, type, and date last modified. It integrates user-generated data like description text and the option to make content private. It also supports capabilities like viewing the file in your browser and downloading a copy to your computer. Posts can be sorted by date.
for now, this project is closed source.
architecture:
- data:
  - user-generated data is stored in SQLite.
  - name is the only required field for each file.
  - PHP loops through the database and serves the parsed data as XML.
- ui: XSLT
  - the stylesheet conditionally renders the XML data.
  - sorting is enabled through JavaScript.
next steps:
- enable remote posting via the UI.
- open source the code and publicize self-hosted social media.
