If you want to understand the software in better depth I have the source code very well commented.
I’m trying to politely explain that if you want people to care more about your software, then you should go to more effort to explain it. If you just dump your source code online with minimal explanation, not as many people will care as if you explain what you’re trying to solve, how your thing works, and maybe alternatives that you considered, future features you’d like to address. Going through the source is the hardest part that many people might not want to bother doing. But most people might read a brief description and watch a short video, even if they aren’t all that interested in your idea at first. Even if they are skeptical of the need for a barter system, they can still appreciate the work you put in, and offer advice on the technical side, to help you with this and future projects.
I did skim your source and it looks like it’s mostly wrappers around a database. Some ideas, if you wanted to write about it:
Security concerns: I don’t necessarily see that as abuse, anyone can record all records of something and if something gets wrongfully deleted someone can add it back in. There may be times when someone needs to delete a certain record, for example: when someone is bartering something in exchange to harm someone. Database hosting: anyone can host the database because I have the files in the repository. TOR: the benefit of TOR is to prevent some entity from tracking exchanges and it keeps people anonymous and with bartering real life goods you don’t necessarily need to break anonymity, there can be intermediaries to keep things anonymous. What happens next: when a person sees the record and they have what the other person wants, the first person can contact the person who has the record and negotiate the trade.
