Show HN: place-clone – A nostalgic revisiting of r/place

https://github.com/ch4bes/place-clone
1•chabes•1h ago
Hi HN.

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!

This is my first Show HN submission.

A little background: I have no formal computer science training (I am a horticulturist), and my experience comes mostly from playing with SBCs and microcontroller dev boards. The rise of llm-assisted workflows has enabled me to dabble deeper, but I am still very much an amateur, so I benefit from human eyes on this stuff as well.
