Title: ContentForge: self-hostable content scoring API, AGPL-3.0, pure Python, no ML deps

Built a content scoring API that runs fully offline with zero external dependencies in the scoring path!

Why it belongs here:

  • AGPL-3.0 — full source, fork it, run it, modify it
  • pip install -r requirements.txt && python scripts/api_prototype.py — running in under a minute
  • Zero ML dependencies in the scoring engine — pure Python, stdlib + regex only
  • 50 endpoints, <50ms, deterministic (same input = same output, always)
  • AI generation endpoints (rewrites, hooks) use local Ollama first — if Ollama is running, nothing leaves your machine

What it scores: Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube titles/descriptions, Pinterest, Reddit, Threads, Facebook, email subjects, ad copy, readability. Every scoring endpoint returns the score, grade, quality_gate (PASSED/REVIEW/FAILED), and itemized deductions.

Self-host setup:

git clone https://github.com/CaptainFredric/ContentForge
cd ContentForge
pip install -r deploy/requirements-api.txt
python scripts/api_prototype.py
# API running at localhost:8081

For AI generation locally: install Ollama, pull llama3.2:3b (or any model), and set OLLAMA_HOST=http://localhost:11434. No Ollama? Set GEMINI_API_KEY for cloud fallback.

Interested in feedback on the self-hosting experience — particularly Docker setup which is on the roadmap!

Da Calibration Challenge (lifetime Ultra access on the line!!!):

The scoring weights are built from platform documentation, not validated against real engagement data yet. Running a Blind Taste Test to fix that — and I need people who actually create content.

Submit 10 historical posts! 5 top performers, 5 flops, without labeling which is which. The engine ranks them. You verify the ranking. If it gets your top 5 right, you get lifetime Ultra API access (3,000 AI calls/month, no expiry). Either way you get a full deterministic score breakdown for all 10 posts — the same audit trail you'd run in a self-hosted pipeline.

Basically win-win!

Submission template: #4

Need 10 more participants across platforms before the Product Hunt relaunch.....
