Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the site get its content from?

The wonderful work of Black Lotus Coalition has resulted in a giant list of content creators from all around Odysee. That list -- the Odysee Creator List -- was pulled in when I stood the site up. Huge, massive thanks to the BLC community for all the work done on that, and to Moderator Gage for orchestrating it all.

Why doesn't this release have this tag?

Tagging is an ongoing project. There's a lot of work being done behind-the-scenes to improve it, and we'll probably need your help with it. Watch for new features next to the tag strip.

Can you add this feature?

Submit an issue for it and I'll have a look! Click "source" in the footer and file an issue on the project's GitLab page (making sure we don't already have an issue for it, of course)

How quickly does this site pick up on new content?

About every hour or so. If you'd like to beat this delay, schedule your release a little bit in advance so we can scrape it before it drops.

I found a bug -- where can I report it?

Use the "Contact Information" section above or the links in the footer.

I sometimes get "429 Too Many Requests" from this site -- why?

That error means you're being rate-limited as your IP has submitted too many requests in too short a period of time. If you're doing some automation, just cool down for a sec and retry the request. If you're an end user and you think this is in error, please reach out to me using the info in the Contact Information section.

I would like to contribute to the project -- how can I do so?

Great! If you'd like to do so monetarily, use the ko-fi link in the footer. Money goes to continued development and server hosting costs. If you'd like to contribute code, use the "source" link in the footer and submit a PR. If you'd like to contribute assets or anything else, reach out to me over Twitter and we can discuss!

Thanks

This project is built on the backs of giants. Couldn't have done it without a lot of help:

• Thanks to Black Lotus Coalition for their gruntwork in scouring Odysee by hand to get a list of tons of GunCAD developers. Their list was pruned down to form the bulk of the content in the master instance. Search them up and see what all they've released -- tons of good designs there.
• Thanks to Hoffman Tactical for being awesome and offering great feedback. Search him up if you're not already aware of him and his fantastic AR lowers and fire control systems.
• Thanks to the whole GunCAD/3DPG/whatever community for being cool dudes and making tons of wonderful things. May this project help them be discovered, cherished, and enjoyed further. Death to tyrants.
• Thanks to my close friends and loved ones for their love and support, not just here but over the years as well. I love you all <3
• Thanks to the Django project for building an incredibly versatile and easy-to-use framework upon which this whole site is built. This would not have been possible without their efforts.
• Thanks to Odysee and LBRY for hosting all this good stuff. I'm sure I speak for the whole community when I say we appreciate the hosting and accessibility of the platform.

And a huge, gigantic thanks to the most important person of all:

• You, internet citizen visiting this website. This project is nothing if nobody uses it, and I truly appreciate each and every one of you, even if (or perhaps because) you hug the server to death.
