Hellow Neko (over 2k Nekos)
A downloadable project for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Look at the Nekos from a database, containing 2.000 of them.
You can also search by tags, and filter SFW. Instructions and Web App below.
This project does currently work. There are a couple of versions. The debug one opens a read only console version additionally to the neko window. The python one is the source code. It should be able to run on all operating systems. A web app, doing the same thing, which should be stable and really usable, is here: https://ln.topdf.de/HellowNekoNew/ Have fun.
The project description/blog/devlog is here, even though it is currently just available in german: https://ln.topdf.de/HellowNeko-Blog/
History
Ok, so I started this project because I just wanted more wholesome pictures of anime cat girls. That was in 2020, and I was in Lockdown (and bored) anyway, so I decided to make a bot and get a lot of pictures using web-scraping. That worked, but I thought “Well, I need a program I can view all this data in, otherwise it would be kind of pointless, wouldn't it?“ Following this thought I scripted a little application using python, that can show me the pictures. But when my friends actually liked what I did there, they just didn't want to download a program all the time, I thought “Why not make a website that does the exact same stuff?“ Soooo but yea, it was like… an awful website. It's not good, but take a look if you want.
A couple of months nothing happened, until a course from KIT brought me into web development. After I took the course, I made this improved website and a rest API. I also added in general a tag system to my “database” containing 2k pictures, and I plan on moving the “database” from the JSON file to a proper sql database.
In the March 2020, I started migrating to a proper SQL database. With it I made an legacy api with the database, with exactly the same Endpoint as the old API. Then I made some new Endpoints, wrote an Documentation, and patched the old Programs I still remember.
