The first public release of twarc. Source opened under AGPL-3.0. Production has been live at twarc.net since 2026年05月25日.

This release is a snapshot of the running app: feature-complete enough for daily use, with intentional gaps queued up as issues for contributors to pick up.

What you can do today

• Browse the anime catalog — thousands of series with synopsis, MAL rank, year, episodes, studios, genres, full character roster, and streaming-platform links.
• Find characters — portrait pages with the anime they appear in plus any community fan art.
• Build a personal list — Watching / Plan to Watch / Completed / On Hold / Dropped plus a separate favorites bucket.
• Upload hand-drawn fan art — every submission goes through a moderator queue before publish.
• Write blog posts — TipTap editor with images, formatting, code, links.
• Comment + reply — threaded discussions on posts and blog articles, real-time SSE notifications, @-mentions.
• Earn achievements — Steam-style badges with progress on your profile.

Known gaps (tracked as issues)

These were intentional cuts to get to a public release. Pick one up if it speaks to you:

• #7 — Wire Scout indexer to the Post model so /search uses Meilisearch
• #8 — 2FA enrollment UI
• #9 — Email verification flow
• #10 — First feature tests for the upload pipeline (good first issue)
• #11 — Production storage swap: B2 + Bunny CDN
• #12 — Mobile nav extraction + a11y pass (good first issue)
• #13 — imgproxy URL signing

The Roadmap discussion has the longer view.

Try it / run it

• Try the live site: twarc.net — registration is open.
• Run locally: see the Quickstart (pnpm install + Postgres + Redis + Docker; ~10 minutes).

Thanks

• Jikan.moe — the unofficial MyAnimeList API that backs the catalog seeder.
• imgproxy and Meilisearch — the open-source media + search backbone.
• Bunny.net — for being one of the few CDNs that does not freak out about anime art.
