Closed alpha, applications open
A Snackers wiki that outlives its platform
Moving off FANDOM onto an open engine built for this community. It already runs in closed alpha, and the first people are being let in.
Donation funded. HTTPS by Let's Encrypt. AGPL licensed, so nobody can turn it into a closed product, and every skin stays yours to sell.
Fan project
This site is run by fans. It is not affiliated with Filian, it is not endorsed by her, and nobody here speaks for her or her team.
It is also not part of any ARG. Nothing here is a puzzle, a clue, or a hidden layer of anything. It is a wiki.
The closed alpha is recruiting
The wiki is already running for a small group. Accounts are handed out by hand until Vadim decides it is ready for everyone to sign up on their own. Until then, this is how you get in.
- Content makers People ready to write lore, timelines and glossary entries, and to keep them current. Clippers welcome.
- Bug finders Break things on purpose, on any device, and report what happened. Alpha means rough edges, and every one you find is one fewer at launch.
- People with opinions Suggest improvements, actively. Now is when a change costs an evening instead of a migration.
- Translators The interface and the articles are translatable. English and Russian come first, other languages are welcome.
Email vadim+calpha@filian.wiki, or vadim@filian.wiki with "closed alpha" in the subject, and fill in these four lines:
Username that you wanna claim: Your age group: Who are you?: Why Vadim should approve your registration:
- Age group
- Something like 14+ or 18+. Some countries have strict rules for teens, and this is only there for them. Write whatever you are comfortable with.
- Who are you
- Dev, bug finder, just a Snacker, content maker (clipper and so on), VTuber, translator, or anything else. Discord mods of SnackersHQ+ or SnackersRU: say so, then DM vai_prog to verify it.
- Language
- The template is in English so every application looks the same. Answer in English or Russian.
What will actually be here
Written by people who watch the streams. Not generated, not padded out for ad impressions.
Lore and timeline
Streams, arcs and running storylines laid out so a newcomer can catch up in one sitting instead of scrubbing through years of VODs.
Glossary
Every emote, callback and chat term explained without killing the joke.
Clip index
Searchable and timestamped, linked back to the source rather than screenshots of screenshots.
Editing that works without JavaScript
Suggest an edit with or without an account, on any device, with scripting off. Every change is attributed, every version is kept, and nothing gets quietly rewritten.
Community and events
Watch parties, art jams and community projects, kept current by mods and editors.
Fan art, credited
Links out to the artists who made the work, plus an archive of retired designs.
Where the build actually is
The full roadmap is public, including the parts that are not done. This is the short version.
-
Done
Decisions
Schema, licence and stack settled and written down with reasons. The expensive thing to get wrong.
-
In progress
Foundation and accounts
Reader, editor, sessions, and signing in with GitHub, Discord or Telegram.
-
Next
Search and components
Fast search over every page, plus infoboxes the community can edit like any other page.
-
Then
Migration from FANDOM
Wikitext importer and an open export format, so leaving here is as easy as arriving.
| Metric | Target | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Page load on a cache hit | under 20 ms | to be measured |
| Reading with JavaScript off | everything, diagrams included | committed by design |
| Editing with JavaScript off | fully functional | committed by design |
| Runs on a Raspberry Pi | 200 readers at once | to be measured |
An early draft claimed 200,000 concurrent connections. That number is not a commitment, and it either gets a published methodology or it disappears.
What to do while this gets built
The community already exists and it is worth your time more than a coming-soon page is. Each link below is labelled for what it actually is.
- Filian's Discord Official, hers The main community server. Start here if you are new.
- SnackersRU Unofficial, fan run The Russian speaking corner of the community. Not run by Filian, same as this wiki.
- What ARG? ARG community If the ARG is what brought you here, this is the server that actually works on it, and we are not it. Their shared archive is on Google Drive.
One Snackers can build world - Others can change universe
VAI_PROG, Probably somewhere between 2025 and 2026
Improvements are wanted, not tolerated
The whole thing is open source. Every reasonable improvement gets reviewed and, if it holds up, merged. You do not need permission to start.
- Tell us where the design is wrong Right now this is the most valuable thing anyone can do. Editing a design document costs an afternoon. Editing a schema a thousand wikis depend on costs a year.
- Take a good first issue Issues are labelled by area and by effort, so you can find something that fits the evening you actually have.
- Draw something We want to replace every generated image on this project with human made art, with credit. Artists, this one is for you.
- Write, even without code A wiki is writing. Lore, glossary entries, timelines and translations matter as much as the engine under them.
Addresses that are really ours
Anything else claiming to be this wiki is not us.
- filian.wikimain address
- snackers.wikialso ours
- snackers.vai-rice.spaceolder address, still ours
We will never ask for your Twitch or Discord password, and we will never run a giveaway that needs your wallet.
