Thank you for sharing this. I had more fun using it than expected. It is too bad that this had to be removed. Do you have any plans to release the source? I would absolutely love to be able to host something like this locally to play around with.

Again, thanks for this it was very fun while it lasted.

Thanks for the positive response! Yeah, it’s a bummer that it got attacked. I guess that’s par for the course when dealing with anonymous content.

I’m hoping to revive this project at some point, with a bigger focus on preventing abuse. I have some ideas in mind :)

As for releasing the source, I don’t have any plans to release the full stack. However, I may extract out the main part of the frontend that controls the pixel canvas and open source that so people can play around with it locally.

Probably going to take a bit of a break from this project before doing any of that though. Stay tuned!

The old /. friend and foe idea. You only see stuff from friends+ n degree of separation, and/or reverse for foes. Add in some meta modding based on the quality of one's pixel submissions. You might be on to something.
