A PM rewrite (proof of concept)

[Arunbear]

Hello monks,

This is a project I started working on in late October, before I knew that there's already a rework project in progress, i.e. Taking advantage of E2 improvements

It is an old idea, but got some new life from Ideas for PerlMonks 2.0 (nearly a year ago).

The code (which is a very small slice of what PM does) is in GitHub:

• https://github.com/arunbear/monk_world
• https://github.com/arunbear/monk_world_api

Update 03-01-2026, Replaced demo with screenshots

A few screenshots:

• Threads
• Search
• A node

Imagine my surprise, delight and horror as I went to check the demo, only to see my own rather lame little comment thread as part of your demo. Anyway, it looks good. I'll have to look at the code, as soon as I finish off the other 99 projects I've got going. :)

I don't think it's accurate to say that that project is in progress. At best it's premature.

I applaud your efforts and I hope to see them come to fruition.

Thank you. This project is just a proof of concept to see if anyone else is interested and can help with it.

I'd need help to have any chance of it succeeding.
