Unrelated but because the blog is hosted from a repl, it's fun to read the logs when a post is on frontpage HN. You can see the request stream live here: https://blog.repl.it/__logs

EDIT: Amazing! People are chatting in the http logs: https://twitter.com/amasad/status/1356344510465286144

Btw the source is here https://blog.repl.it/__repl

Not so nice now, someone there is just spamming the logs with some pretty nasty US political trolling. You may want to consider a spam filter...

Rate limiting and blocking now! It's back to normal.

I just looked at it and ended up having a discussion with someone from Germany about having a Hacker News meeting in Albania when COVID is over. Someone else chimed in, "_________________________the_most_niche_chat_app_ever". I see a future in this :)

EDIT: I almost asked how you knew the blog was posted on a REPL, then saw you're the CEO. Tiny cool internet world.

haha! Super cool. Btw, this is an XTERM terminal so you can probably do more interesting thing other than just chat ;)

I appreciate that you didn't just tell us to cut it out! :)

this is the funkiest thing I've seen in my browser today

Unfortunately it's been overtaken by political propaganda.

Banned!

how do you chat?

just send get requests

I've tried that, getting 404, any URL?

Yeah the path in the url is your message!!!

it was trying the full site, not the blog...thanks
