Faridoon
Lightweight PHP web app to save, approve and publish chat quotes

Faridoon is a lightweight web application for saving and publishing memorable chat quotes. It provides a simple web UI for users to submit quotes and for admins to review and publish them publicly.
Key Features
- Publish and browse short text chat quotes with a clean web interface
- User registration and login with admin and non-admin roles
- Approval workflow for guest and non-admin submissions
- Automatic highlighting of usernames and cleanup of line breaks/odd characters
- Configurable via environment variables or a configuration file; recommended Docker Compose deployment
- Runs on PHP with a MySQL-compatible database; low resource requirements
- Project privacy focus: no telemetry, no tracking, no commercial tiers
Use Cases
- Collect and publish funny or notable chat quotes from team chats or community channels
- Curate community-submitted quotes with an approval workflow before public posting
- Maintain a lightweight, searchable archive of text-only quotes for reuse in blogs, social posts, or publications
Limitations and Considerations
- Focused on plain text quotes; not designed for rich media, attachments, or complex content types
- Minimal advanced search, tagging, or analytics functionality compared with full CMS platforms
- Community-driven project with no commercial support; feature set is intentionally modest
Faridoon is suitable for individuals and communities that want a simple, privacy-respecting way to collect and share chat quotes. It emphasizes ease of deployment and low resource usage while keeping the feature set focused on text quote publishing.
