What is it?

Faridoon lets a group save memorable chat exchanges as quotes and publish them for others to read. Pasting a chat log produces a formatted quote with a live preview, and each quote gets its own permalink page. Usernames are automatically highlighted in colour, and stray line breaks and odd characters are cleaned up.

The site is administered from the browser. Admins can set the site title, voting, registration, guest submissions and syntax highlighting, and moderators work through an approval queue before quotes go live. Quotes from guests and non-privileged users wait in that queue, and rejecting one deletes it.

The service is written in Go with a Vue 3 front end and uses MySQL for storage, with schema migrations handled by sql-migrate. The project recommends running it with Docker against a MySQL database, and it needs no internet connection to function.
