I Remade YouTube From Scratch Using Just Bash

I have decided that, in an effort of making the world know that Bash is still everything you need in this day and age, to remake UA-cam from scratch using only that. That's right, from the Back-End to the Front-End, from the storage to the retrieval of files, including the actual process of transmitting data, I decided to implement everything a Full Stack app needs without allowing myself to step outside of the Bash bubble, no exceptions.
So, do you still think you need fancy frameworks like Django, Spring, React, Angular and many others that have burdened the web development sphere, when the proverbial golden goose is right there?

So I based on the video's conclusion, I have come to determine that the answer to the title is, "Yes."

[@icitry]

I mean it's Bash, of course you can do anything and everything with it

MASSIVELY underrated creator

[@icitry]

MASSIVE thank you for saying that!

do you even bash bro, you're supposed to use bash's builtin networking sockets, immediately unsubbed from this amateur (jk)
(yes, /dev/tcp stuff only works in client-mode, I know, sadly)

I already pleaded for forgiveness from the Bash Gods, please don't summon Them back here

my brain just imploded (in a good way) fantastic video!

[@InfiniteCoder01]

Dude reinvented bashstack

[@DonnieX6]

This is great, haha! 🥳 I love Bash and it is always nice to see how far you can bend it 😁

[@icitry]

Oh yeah, it's kinda alien before you get into it, but after - it becomes a literal playground

[@DonnieX6]

@@icitry Indeed, still remember when I got into it! Luckily both at work and also privately at home I get to do a lot of Bash scripting 😋

You've done well editing this video! Would hate to know how many hours you've poured into this project!

[@icitry]

Thank you! Well, let's just say sometimes it's better not to give too much thought to certain things

[@TradieTrev]

@@icitry Your dev & video skills crap all over my attempts; Hat's off good sir!

[@icitry]

@TradieTrev Thank you once again, but you really shouldn't put yourself down like that, I am sure you're plenty awesome yourself

[@kyuthefox]

theprimeagen has to see this.

[@higon99]

I'm at 4min 50sec in this 18min long video, and you are making HTTP server from scratch I don't know if you manage to make it work on time. This is thrilling as a proud bash fundamentalist.

[@icitry]

Well don't leave us hanging, did he do it?

[@antondanielvanvuuren4086]

Positively refreshing. I’ve used sed extensively in the past when migrating a lot of data.

[@icitry]

Thanks! Yeah it's a really strong tool, yet somehow very underutilized imo

[@Landee]

insane project

[@FineWine-v4.0]

Yeah sure why not, a guy created rollercoaster tycoon in Assembly
As a Bash-guy I needed this

[@losing_interest_in_everything]

I created my own frontend framework using Bash and Go :D

[@gara8142]

absolutely bat sh^t insane. amazing job

[@APDesignFXP]

Can’t say I understood half of the problems in your code 😅 but it’s amazing to me that you managed to build a restful api in bash and create your own frame work, not to talk about all the extra stuff you did.

[@batchhd7510]

Wow
I'm am advanced bash user, but i didn't go that far.
I'm excited what you'll bring to the table next time.
Keep it up! Awesome work.
Btw dd reads from stdin by default if you dont specify input file.

[@icitry]

Thank you! Yep, that's exactly how I used it here, but I think I forgot to highlight that, so thanks again!

[@pedromrls6]

To quote Jeff Goldblum's character Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park "Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn’t Stop To Think If They Should"

But if they hadn't, how could they have known they shouldn't

The Answer is "Scientist SHOULD always do it"

Why not also build the database in bash 😈

"why?"
"Yes."

Bash is all you need!

[@icitry]

Always has, always will

[@igroykt]

something crazy...

[@chickenspaceprogram]

this is incredibly impressive

[@anon_y_mousse]

And here I thought you were going to use Apache or Nginx to serve the files and just use a Bash script as a CGI program. Silly me, that'd be too easy. Now let's see you do the same with a fork of TempleOS that allows you to connect to the internet and HolyC.

I've created more functional "apps" using just a few lines of bash code than many of the real apps on the Play Store, and I'm not even particularly skilled at coding. It's quite ridiculous.

[@icitry]

Feel ya, whenever I want to make a tool quickly I turn to good ol' Bash, too bad its one true bane is its portability, or rather lack thereof.

[@bulldoser2610]

shouldn't you get a huge performence boost if you use cat instead of dd?

[@Jordan4Ibanez]

I haven't seen the video but I will assume you are as crazy as I am. Edit: I was correct

[@icitry]

Always assume the worst, especially when it comes to my projects

[@yet_another_communist]

Why not program bash in bash?

You simply can't recreate perfection
