Show HN: This Website Will Self destruct
thiswebsitewillselfdestruct.comFor Ludum Dare 46, going on this weekend, the theme is 'Keep it alive.'
I had a few 'real' game ideas, but this is the thing I thought people might get some use out of, but after some reflection, the best task I could come up with, that would have a positive influence on people was just to give people who want it the opportunity and an excuse to say what’s on their mind.
The website will self-destruct if you don’t engage with it.
It’s been a rough month for me, and I’m sure it has for a lot of people. So I figured, lets create a nice cozy place online where you can write about the issues you’re having.
For those interested in the technical details: On page load, I check to see if the latest request is more than 24 hours old. If it is, I delete all the items in the database and stop rendering.
I read about 10 messages. A couple were really amazing. Most were touching, all were worth reading. So I hate that they will be deleted! I'd love to see all the comments permanently on a page. (But deletable by their author) Also I love the font, the page is beautiful. I didn't know what the heart does, and FB 'like' buttons have made me wary of clicking such things. Very nice work!
