Simplici7y is a file sharing web application for the Aleph One community. Originally written in with Ruby on Rails 1.0 and hosted alongside The Pfhorums, Simplici7y is now a Django 4 Application deployed to Heroku from Github.

The project is named after a 7-polygon mapping challenge, which focuses on doing more with less.

When Fileball suffered downtime in early 2007, Jon Irons saw the need to fill the gap as soon as possible. He came to me with his idea for a new project. Jon's support was fundamental to the development and successful launch of Simplici7y, and I consider this project his as much as it is mine.

Simplici7y came online on the second anniversary of The Pfhorums. After Fileball was destroyed in a fire, S7 became the de facto place to publish. In the 16 years it has been online, there have been over 12 million downloads, 600 items and 1,400 reviews.

Notes for version 2.0.0:

On our 16th anniversary, 2.0.0 is a complete rewrite of the original Ruby on Rails application into Python / Django 4. This also includes:

• Moved to modern hosting (Heroku / AWS) which means no more downtime!
• Much faster file download and page load times
• Better permissions and data validation (10,000 star feature)
• Higher resolution thumbnails
• Automatic deploys from git main branch for quick and easy development or bug fixes
• An automatic admin backend for easy moderation
• Trigram search for misspellings
• Much more search-engine optimized with redirects from bad URLs and mobile-friendly CSS
• All of this and more in 4k lines of code vs the previous 33k!

Feature development is now much easier, so head over to Github to submit requests or report any bugs you find.

An archive of the the original M1A1 Project homepage can be found here.. Downloads can be found on the Fileball Archive.
