hipchan, an anonymous sharing site built with 1 page js

URL: http://hipchan.com/ The story: after seeing this on HN http://news.ycombinator.net/item?id=1940089 and seeing a comment about 4chan, I decided that I could build something that embraces the 4chan idea. Even though the story today is 'social' I really think that anonymity will continue to have a place in future communities. It was supposed to be a weekend hack, and it was! 95% of the features were worked out in the weekend following, but somehow testing lasted till today... Primary feature: The ability to have * boards. For example: http://hipchan.com/#hn The Tech:…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

For example: http://hipchan.com/#hn The Tech: Mongolab/jquery/pusherapp There's only 1 html page and everything is done via ajax. For the niche I'm targeting/Branding: Still a little uncertain how that's going to work out or how it'll be in general. Advice on this would be great. You should try out the site: http://hipchan.com/

Does the same job

    Hoodmaps Meets 4chan2024 · mapchan.com · ▲8

    I made this as a pair programming exercise with o1-preview. o1 did most of the heavy lifting, through high level prompts, but eventually I needed to diverge from it to get to completion. My initial prompt was: --- I'm making a web app: It's like 4chan, but each thread starts with a gps coordinate. People can only post text and images. I want to build it with flask and sqlalchemy. I want just the backend and data model that supports these threads, anonymous users, and users that can register a permanent username. Write as much of it as you can for me. --- This produced a fully scaffolded…

    Sparkmuse, story and beta of my side project2011 · ▲31

    TLDR: The beta of my my site, Sparkmuse, has begun. Please join me at http://www.sparkmuse.com/invitation/Hacker-News . The Story: Well here it is, the beta of Sparkmuse. I'm pretty happy to "get there", but I'm really just relieved. Don't get me wrong, I'm F'ING STOKED to get this in front of some more valuable eyeballs, especially the Hacker News crowd. Right now though, I'm just leaning back in a rickety old chair thinking "I did it." Several months ago I was pretty down on myself. I wanted to get out there and meet new people, do cool projects, explore new technologies, and just jump…

    New project for on-demand chat rooms2014 · urshoutbox.com · ▲37

    I created a pet project to see if it is of use and interesting to people. The idea is on-demand real-time chat rooms for trending topics and for personal use. You can go to the main page at www.urshoutbox.com to create your own room then share it across your social networks/email, etc. I created a hacker news specific "shoutbox" at http://www.urshoutbox.com/bLmYAL/hacker-news . If nobody is in there, please be patient and (I hope) people will join soon to start talking. The idea is to have trending topics on facebook/twitter/etc and have chat rooms to get…

    my weekend project, understanding the Silk Road anonymous marketplace2011 · burntbrunch.github.com · ▲40

    This was more of a sandbox to play with Raphael and Flot than anything else but I think there are some interesting statistics in there. It'd be awesome to do this over time but I really don't have the spare time required.

    A minimalist, no-clout social network with chronological feedOct 2025 · ▲5

    TLDR: I built a "quick and dirty " private social network for my friends, posted on Reddit and HN, got some interest so now have built it properly along with my brother. site link: https://intimost.com/login/ demo creds: [email protected] Demo123! Full version: I needed a social network where I can just send updates and nothing else. So I built it, my friends liked and now I have built it "for the world". Everything is private by default. - Text-only updates - No likes. Only views to acknowledge a post - [in development] Comments are private between the poster and…
