Show HN: place-clone – A nostalgic revisiting of r/place
github.com
Tl;dr: An attempt was made to build a remake of the original r/place. The repo is now public, and I'd love feedback, contributions, and the like. Demo (very much alpha) is here: https://chabes.neocities.org/place/
This is a hobby project I have been playing with for a few days. It is an llm-assisted attempt at a nostalgic clone of the 2017 April Fools (9 years ago today) reddit experiment r/place[1][2]. My intention is to have a working version by the 10 year anniversary coming up a year from today.
A demo can be interacted with here: https://chabes.neocities.org/place/
I don't expect this to get huge traction on HN, but please don't hug to death, regardless. It is semi-functional, but very rough around the edges.
That's basically it. Try the demo. Repo is open for contributions. Let me know if you have any questions!
