Would it be technically possible to make an imageboard software in C? I ask because I was thinking for making a 3ds imageboard just for the keks, and I'm pretty sure you have to write 3ds homebrew and custom applications with C.

There's literally nothing you can't make with C. Everything that seems more advances is effectively just a layer on top of the same basic functionality that C provides.

You'll have to do everything from the ground up, it would be a good exercise.

If that's the stage you're at - just learn any programming language.
Not the obscure shit though (no lisp or haskell).

You can't make a safe program, because C isn't memory safe, and the compiler isn't bootstrappable bootstrappable.org

Yes. You could make an FTP site that will accept anonymous uploads. Write in an SFTP application to upload images and just include a Qt-webkit browser for viewing shit. That or you can do full autists and make the entire thing a terminal application. I think you could technically do all of this with SSH and BASH scripting when you get down to it. You have SCP to move the image files back and forth and you. I think there are some scripts for SSH bulletin boards and some other applications you can probably modify for images.
I think secure FTP might be an option. The are FTP based chat application that just send a text file back and the application will use cat or for line in file: do print line. Displaying pictures in terminal can be done with applications like FIM.
So yeah all of this stuff could be done in terminal applications that already exist, at least as far as the networking and whatnot is concerned. It's not hard to display an image in a GTK or Qt application.
Start a Github for this OP. Maybe anons will help with code.
I personally hate C so I would probably end up writing the whole thing in Python. But honestly if it's a terminal application I could be done in BASH or any other scripting language. You could probably mock up a TCL/TK GUI easily enough.
IDK. Why C? Every other language is easier to write this in than C?
