I noticed there's plenty of people looking to improve the tool you have built. Have you thought on making it open source? Allow people to contribute and guarantee it will be maintained in the long term? What would be the pros and cons?
It's basically just a bunch of shell scripts. There's not much to make open source, and my spaghetti code wasn't really meant to be open source.
Aside from the fact that you don't mind spending time on the appearance, it would be very useful to give some design for some of the functions on the site. Just enough to make them more functional and adapted to the human eye. For example, the unedited (or deleted) posts page for a user with a large number of posts is quite tiring to use, even for the browser itself.
I assume you're doing everything as a hobby, but what's the point of a tool if it complicates its use.
