This could be helpful for moderation as well.
I haven't written much Perl, but I could probably try to hack something together. The program could easily cache the posts to reduce load.
I assume that all the 4-ch boards are independent flat file databases, and that is probably the cause of many of the performance issues the site experiences. It's not like the site is broken, it works fine, but it still makes me want to re-architect things so that boards load faster in general
but I digress. I think that the page that shows all new posts across boards could easily be done client-side without any server development effort as well. I'm thinking of putting together a user script that attempts it.
what does everyone think of something like this?
It sounds interesting, but I probably wouldn't use it too often. I'm usually alerted to new posts from boards that interest me from my rss reader.
Maybe other people would derive more use from it.
