Forget everything I thought I wanted. Everyone's help was greatly appreciated, but I have made the decision that my website will be a custom build of the danbooru image board software.
Yet the site itself resembles nothing like that anymore. I will have to consult archive.org for closer inspection.The new version uses WPPropeller - https://wppropeller.com/. That's one of the benefits of using a platform- the ability to easily update your style. You can stay in Divi- or move to something else- a lot easier than rolling your own from scratch. And WPProppeller underneath uses Divi for its functionality.
There has to be a certain critical mass around programs IMO. Just having programs with no descriptions on a site, and nothing around them won't lead to people using them from my experience.Well, I mean I'd have some sort of text describing the program, but not some kind of instruction manual.
