One Billion Checkboxes
One Billion Checkboxes Change log: - 100000% more checkboxes - Cross platform universal check boxes (look good on any device) - Client side feedback animation (no optimistic updates) - Tab state - SQLITE storage (If your checkbox is checked it's been persisted to disk) No idea how well this will scale (if at all). Server is a shared VPS in germany and it's basically a billion rows in a sqlite database.
One Billion Checkboxes launched on May 13, 2025 with 11 votes, #1,913 of 7,905 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.
In plain words
One Billion Checkboxes is a web application that provides one billion individual checkboxes for users to interact with. Each checkbox state is persisted to disk using SQLite storage, so checked boxes remain saved. The interface works across devices with responsive design and includes client-side animations for immediate feedback. Users can maintain checkbox states across browser tabs. The entire application runs on a shared server in Germany with a SQLite database containing approximately one billion rows.

- GAGoqite, a persistent message queue Go library built on SQLite2024 · goqite.com · ▲99
I wanted to build a persistent message queue based on SQLite, because that's what I'm using for my main state anyway. This gives me ACID across state and messaging, which is nice! I've been inspired by the terminology of AWS SQS for this, but it's obviously much simpler. Maybe you can use it too. :)
- OMOne Million and One Checkboxes. Running on Elixir and Mithril.js2024 · onemillionandonecheckboxes.com · ▲5
Hello! As soon as I saw eieio's https://onemillioncheckboxes.com/, I knew I wanted to try it out using Elixir. The original was created using Python and Redis (later Go and Redis) but this one is using just one Elixir server and HAProxy for SSL termination. It's also using S3 to show the overview page where all the checkboxes are drawn on a 1000x1000 canvas. The whole site is running on a 4 core 8 GB Hetzner VPS so I'm interested to see how it will hold up. This took an embarrassingly long amount of time to complete (the first commit was on July 23) but it was my first real…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Tapflow 2.0▲1,125We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
