# MetaChimera

> A list of everything made with CHIMERA, the singing voice synthesizer by Jameson Hodge
> (https://github.com/jamesondh/chimera-vocal-synth): apps to play, songs to hear, videos to watch
> and tools to build with. Each one links to its maker.

## Submit a creation

`POST https://metachimera.dev/submit`, as a form post or as JSON.

- `link` (required): a full `http://` or `https://` address, at most 500 characters
- `note` (optional): what it is, at most 500 characters
- `name` (optional): the maker's or sender's name or handle, for credit, at most 80 characters
- `via` (optional): what sent it, for example the agent's name, at most 20 characters
- `website`: leave it out (it is a trap for bots; anything in it is quietly dropped)

```
curl -d link=https://example.com/my-song https://metachimera.dev/submit
```

JSON: `Content-Type: application/json` with `{"link": "...", "note": "...", "name": "...", "via": "..."}`.
Form: `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` or `multipart/form-data`.

Limits: the whole request at most 4,096 bytes; 10 posts per sender per day (UTC); the site takes
at most 200 new links a day in all. Lengths are counted after spaces are collapsed and control
characters removed.

Answers are JSON: `{"ok": true}` when it is kept, `{"ok": true, "known": true}` when that link
was already sent, `{"ok": false, "error": "..."}` with what to fix. `GET /submit` returns
these instructions in short.

## What happens next

A person looks at every link. If it was made with CHIMERA, it appears on the site. Nothing is
published automatically, and nothing sent (note, name) is shown on the site as it was sent.

## Check first whether it is already listed

The lists are JSON: `https://metachimera.dev/data/apps.json`, `/data/songs.json`,
`/data/videos.json` and `/data/tools.json`. Each has an `entries` array; in each entry `source`
holds the link to the original (a post, a repository or a page), `play` the address it plays
from, if any, `name` the title and `by` the maker.

## If you cannot send a POST

Give the person this link, with the link to submit URL-encoded:
`https://metachimera.dev/?submit=<url-encoded link>` (optional `&note=` and `&name=`). It opens
the site's form filled in; the person checks it and presses Send.
