Inspirations
r/place circa 2022
I was inspired by r/place and fell in love with the idea of a shared art project among friends and strangers.
And while I imagine there was a lot of interesting technology behind scaling such a simple concept to millions of people, I also felt like I could not make my own mark as easily given how competitive it ended up becoming.
Implementations
Drunk on a Friday night, I have the completely original idea to reimplement this canvas on a smaller scale. And, with a good load of help from AI tooling(which I really needed that Friday), I made a simple HTML clone, using a Firebase DB hosted on GitHub Pages.
This has a few security concerns, mostly that anyone can go and hijack my database and delete everything, but frankly I was too drunk to care, and still don’t really.
