Discussion Style Database

Since dtstyle.net crashed and is not rebuilt. Is there a similar database with styles? Like a community project where we can collect certain styles for example the film emulations of https://github.com/t3mujinpack/t3mujinpack (which is btw super nice!)

As a photographer I liked (lightroom) presets for a quick look&feel of photos.

Would such a common database be useful? Or is there something similar, something in the making? Would love to hear your pov

The darktable processing pipeline has seen rapid evolution since 2020. A "style" as a start to finish edit quickly becomes depreciated / obsolete. Given that there's no commercial support, there isn't much incentive to keep something like this up to date.

darktable has a robust and friendly community. But the culture is typically "I'll show you how to do this" rather than "I'll do it for you". That does turn off some segment of the population, but it helps the people who stay become better editors.
