I’m looking for ideas and similar projects. Which language, framework, database, etc. would you use?

Curate and review all kinds of files.

Features

• File manager with tags instead of hierarchical structure.
• Implement Both web and GUI.
• GUI. It would be simpler to use default applications to run files.
• Web it would be nice to self-host and allow users to access online without installing.
• Have other fields besides tags, like dates, etc.
• Be able to filter with an advanced search. Using multiple fields and logical operators.
• All files are scanned and tagged with a shared metadata database.
• By default the metadata for every tagged file is automatically uploaded to a shared database.
• There is an edit history to recover the correct tags, in case a user messes the database.
• Duplicate finder.
• Group users with similar interests and provide content suggestion.
• Use torrent under tor like tribler (?).
• Autoseed files with the least health by torrent. If each tracked file was seeded it would probably crash (?)
• Every user is a mod. There is a score based piramid-like structure so that all database changes need to be approved by a user with higher score.

Libraries:

• Choose the GUI library: link, link
• Web framework:
  • Backend: Actix, Diesel.
  • Frontend: Inferno, Typescript.
• Search for a torrent library.
• Choose an advanced search library.
• Magnet2Torrent
