Welcome to a new era of interconnected content discussion with PieFed – a link aggregator, a forum, a hub of social interaction and information, built for the fediverse. Our focus is on individual control, safety, and decentralised power.
Like other platforms in the fediverse, we are a self-governed space for social link aggregation and conversation. We operate without the influence of corporate entities – ensuring that your experience is free of advertisements, invasive tracking, or secret algorithms. On our platform, content is grouped into communities, allowing you to engage with topics of interest and disregard the irrelevant ones. We utilise a voting system to highlight the best content.

Oh my… I’ll eat my words about python maintainability. No unit tests, no emulation tests (with emulated services), no tests with a database, no formatter, no linter, no type hints, simple pip… The result is working, but I’m a little bit concerned about the nigh complete lack of testing and though they use an ORM (SQLAlchemy), I find the raw SQL therein (even if it’s simple) concerning.
Besides that, the end result looks quite usable and it’s nice to see an alternative to lemmy.
Yep, this Python-based project has no tests but not because it’s written in Python, lol
Attempting to get something working first and possibly adding tests later? Or are there other reasons?
Pretty much.
It’s a hobby project so we work on things we find fun or interesting. To me, tests are neither of those.
This was my experience with personal projects too.
Unit tests hinder progress so much. End-to-end/integration tests are often flaky.
The thing is, I still want to test my own project, because it’s a good idea to validate whether or not your code works or not…
