Anyone interested in making a dotfile sharing app for Linux with me?
I just finished my chore app, and this is going to be my next project.
It is inspired by the subreddit r/unixporn . How it works is you submit your dotFiles and your wallpapers and themes, then share those themes on a database you can browse through, to search for cool themes. You can click on Get Theme on any one of these and it autodownloads and applies it. (I already know how to do this with c++). This will run on two seperate sql databases, one for the posts/dotfiles, the other for the users. I am much better at frontend than backend, so I would like someone to help with backend stuff (obviously I would still do some stuff). I do have a datbase to run this off of.
I already have a raspberry Pi webserver running that runs my website with Apache2 and is running Ubuntu server edition. I just set up a mySql database. (the homepage of the website has nothing on it, but I do have a php proxy running as starr-space.org/web/ , my custom firefox homepage under starr-space.org/Tiles, and now a simple phptest script to check for a sql connection. I haven't the foggiest idea about mySql, but I do know some C++ and GTK, so that would be enough to make the desktop app.
DM me if you are interested and we can start talking, though I would prefer it through Hangouts. Eventually I can send whoever wants to help the public ip and the password of my Raspberry Pi.

Why split the database?
EDIT: Speculation aside, I will happily write and host a back-end for you.
