Show HN: 88x31.pics

http://88x31.pics/
1•hwj•2h ago
After feeling nostalgic about 88x31 GIFs I made a website where people can submit their own. Like HN, every submission requires a URL. Unlike HN, every submission costs $1 worth of Lightning Bitcoins (for keeing my motivation up ;-)

Technical details:

* Webserver: Althttpd (from the SQLite crew: https://sqlite.org/althttpd/doc/trunk/althttpd.md)

* CGI: Perl

* DB: SQLite using sensible defaults: https://briandouglas.ie/sqlite-defaults/

* Bitcoin gateway: https://coinos.io (they have a super-simple API)

* OS: OpenBSD (switched to Linux/macOS a few times, but always came back to this workhorse)
