@atrilahiji w00t , congrats! BTW, did you have a landing page/home page for this? The one you linked earlier is not working anymore. Also, your git seems to have some cert errors it seems.

@girish Ah lol so I moved some things over to another domain (using lahijiapps.dev for my new business) and switched to Gitea. The link is https://git.atrilahiji.dev/atrilahiji/EleutheriaPay
I had a landing page but wasn't happy with it so I was going to make a new one. Right now in the package im using the repo URL as the homepage.

Great stuff!
Talking of the name, when I read it, I read "Uretha"
Depending on if you want to find a matching domains, naming is very personal, but here's some that sound OK to me:
- Atpay
- Button Pay
- Elpay
- Pay Button
- Paystar
I do like coming up with names - but, like I say, I'm sure very personal. I hereby give away all copyright and claims to any of those if you do like though, so feel free to screenshot and hold me to that
-
@marcusquinn Cool, thanks for the suggestions! Yeah the name is the part I am most unsure about rn. And the logo is basic but honestly I care less about the logo and more about the name and usability.
Working at a v2 I want to clean some more things up, write a golang backend, and build it with my CI to make it extremely easy to deploy. JS is cool and all but something about having 3 package.json files floating around in a single project makes me want to puke in my mouth a bit.
-
@atrilahiji Haha, Puke Pay?

@marcusquinn An accurate name until I get node out of there. Ideally I want a pre-built frontend + backend executable. Keeping it simple. Right now I have scripts building the frontend and backend node bundles...
Don't get me wrong, Node has its place. But this just seems like too much lol
-
@atrilahiji I really like the Go approach of single binary! There is also this module called rice which compiles assets in a go code which you can compile into your app. Very nice because the resulting single binary is very end user friendly.
-
@girish oh wow I’ll check that out! For now it’s definitely node based but I can also just update the package then. Not like the backend is super complex anyways.
Idk you think it’s worth waiting?
-
@atrilahiji As long as the config file is compatible between releases, I think it's fine. After all, end user doesn't care what language it's written in.

Man golang is fun. Had some frustrations with module management. Maybe I should look at plain ol C or Rust for good ol downloading and relative linking of dependencies but otherwise golang is fun. That being said I found what you were talking about @girish and I’ve it all in one binary. Only thing now is I need to expose the CSS config in the .env file. Makes it easier so releases are just a .env and an executable. Simple and elegant.
-
@atrilahiji yeah, I always use GVM to manage diff go versions and modules.
-
@robi Oh wow thanks!
That helps quite a bit! I find the whole central location for modules frustrating. I guess I'm used to just dropping a library or some code I wrote into the same directory as my main app and linking to it via its relative path.
I don't want to change langs again but now part of me is curious about just writing a C server lol. A fun challenge but not for this particular project

@atrilahiji Finished EL for now (as in I believe it is ready for use). And the package merges the configs. Its a single .env and binary now
Thanks for that suggestion @girish !
-
@atrilahiji Oh wow, you ended up rewriting it in Go? That was pretty quick, I must say. Where is the Cloudron package btw? Or is that not done yet?
-
@girish one quick update before I think it’s ready (had to re-enable asset customization)
Yeah thankfully the backend for EleutheriaPay is very simple so rewriting it in go was pretty quick. I did have to pull out an assets folder from the executable so it can be customized. But it still means the frontend build is already done when it is downloaded.
I’ll link it here in a moment
-
@atrilahiji if it can be a separate repo like other app packages, that will be great! You can put it in git.cloudron.io
-
@girish Its been over here: https://git.cloudron.io/AtriLahiji/eleutheriapay-app
I just updated it and fixed asset linking. Should be ready now. I've lost count of the number of times I've said it should be ready but my ADD brain does seem to miss things I need to fix. This time for real though.
-
I am really interested in this, I’ll be looking this over to see if I can help develop it.
-
@privsec Develop it? I mean I am open to contributions if thats what you mean.
-
@atrilahiji yes, sorry.
Contribute to it in any way. I love the idea of this.

@privsec Ah I see. Yeah its on my self hosted gitea but I can always make accounts for those who want to contribute or try to merge in contributions with credit from forks on GitHub or something. I haven't figured out the whole contribution model for self hosted yet. This is why we need activitypub gitea
I'm glad you like it!

haHAHAHAHA one more fix in. Had the wrong mime type for the Badge endpoint so it wasn't showing up when embedded. I got mad that it was just that so I re-tagged 1.1.4.
My instance using the new package. I need to make sure the assets update correctly so I'll push that to the package soon.

@girish Done.
-
I've pushed a new update. Version 1.1.5 of EL. The package should be ready as well. Let me know if you have any questions about it @girish and a reminder that if you want it, "smash that upvote button" on my original post.

Is there a possibility of this being on the store? I have a few things I want to add in the near future but nothing should be breaking. It should be stable and good to go now
Guess I should probably tag @girish here eh?
Also bump! -
@atrilahiji It's on my list, haven't forgotten this This week was supposed to be our "app month" but it has instead turned out into a "6.2 month"! We have ended up with 7 patch releases now but atleast we are finally done. The roll out will take the rest of this week, so we will get on track to focusing on getting the most voted apps and already packaged ones out.

FYI I’m working on integration with Owncast
The developer of Owncast reached out via an issue on my repo suggesting this and I’m exploring possibilities now.
-
I have a new version out now with support for Owncast. It also uses a Stripe element built into the app rather than their checkout workflow to work with embeds (Owncast has an upcoming feature where this will be important). If configured, it will send donation messages to chat.
-
Totally unrelated but just spotted this open source AI project with a similar name https://www.eleuther.ai/
-
@jdaviescoates Huh... and its a pretty cool project as well.

This has been cool to work on. I didn't think the Owncast dev would make an account on my git instance literally the day I opened registration to allow for issues. But yeah I'm hoping to make some more integrations with similar services where it makes sense.

Yeah. I came across it here https://social.coop/@eloquence/106005569151675906
-
-
I am proposing a new change to make things more maintainable. It really doesn't have any user facing implications but I welcome opinions from fellow devs: https://git.atrilahiji.dev/atrilahiji/EleutheriaPay/issues/65
-
-
This post is deleted!
-
Anyways I ditched that change in favour of one where:
- I streamline the build process and automate it so it will push to an s3 bucket with the binaries and
- generate the .env config and the default assets programmatically.
-
-
@atridad polite nudge to update the links for your new git home
Also the demo link on the new git not working
No rush, I'm sure you're busy with more important stuff -
-
@timconsidine Just getting back to things now after the wedding
Don't worry its on my radar.
-
@atridad hey I forgot about when that was !
Huge congratulations and best wishes to both of youNo rush at all, take your time, much more interesting projects around I'm sure.
