Show HN: One Billion Checkboxes

https://checkboxes.andersmurphy.com/

One Billion Checkboxes

Change log:

- 100000% more checkboxes

- Cross platform universal check boxes (look good on any device)

- Client side feedback animation (no optimistic updates)

- Tab state

- SQLITE storage (If your checkbox is checked it's been persisted to disk)

No idea how well this will scale (if at all). Server is a shared VPS in germany and it's basically a billion rows in a sqlite database.

Great implementation! I played it on mobile and I scrolled so far and deep that (hopefully) no one will ever overwrite my pixels! Muhahaaaa
andersmurphy•3h ago
Thanks! There's definitely a discoverability problem. Most people just work along the edges. A billion is a long way to scroll! Honestly, I can't even find the stuff I've drawn in the middle.

At some point I should probably add some sort of minimap or something. Will be interesting to see the secret art people hide.

Awesome demo! I want a minimap though.
andersmurphy•3h ago
Noted! It's on my list. But, it's probably more work than the whole project so far.
