The source code of all three repositorys is public now:
Crawler: https://github.com/ghostbyte-dev/fedisea-crawler
API: https://github.com/ghostbyte-dev/fedisea-api
Web: https://github.com/ghostbyte-dev/fedisea-web
#OpenSource #FediSea
Our platform Socialfolio reached the milestone of 200 registered users🥳
Today was a quite productive day. FediSea now stores server location (country and city) and provider name of every instance.
We are also storing the supported protocols and the metadata JSON in Nodeinfo.
We just restarted the crawler to revisit every instance again and store the newly added information.
Check it out:

We bought the domain fedisea.surf
The website of FediSea will be ocean themed. We want give it a friendly, positive and playful vibe.

We know that there are multiple similar services out there (FediDB, Fediverse Observer, ...).
The real reason we came up with that project is more the interest in the developing aspects.
We always wanted to create some kind of crawler and check out the Rust language. That's why we are writing the crawler in Rust.
Another thing we always wanted to learn is Spring Boot. So we are using it for our API.

To initially fill the software table of the database we used the data in the "software.json" file of communityDB (FediDB).

@ashmeshedup Thanks for the kind words. Your app looks really nice too.
(I love the design of the floating navigation bar, we might "borrow" that one for Pixelix too)

Already found a bug which marked most Wordpress servers as dead. That are more than 4.000 servers, so the numbers should go in the right direction.

@krafting Thank you very much!
But as other people already mentioned, please don't take the numbers too seriously at this state. It is a very early state of development.

@crossgolf_rebel As we said in the post, this is not a finished product. The crawler isn't perfect yet. There are many edge cases the crawler has to take care of. Troll instances with fake numbers, robots.txt policies, handling DNS alias/redirects, ...
