Thumbnail came out weird...

Shit's coming along

You can upload images

it's like your purpose in life is to produce imageboards. no matter how much you fight it, how many projects you scrap... you'll always produce imageboards. it is your destiny.

Yeah I don't have an original ideas tbh.

But WTFux will one day be powered by this shit.

here's an idea. some sort of interactive live message board.

live being constantly refreshing or something... i dunno.

>>32651
once Rails applications become easier to deploy. ;]

I've had some original ideas but the fact is, it's easier to design/implement/present a different take on an existing idea than something brand new. It's also easier to tackle the same problems than new ones. So while I'm pretty sick of writing imageboards it comes pretty natural.

My main goal is to get Bill to run WTFux or Lulz on alibi235 because it has an established userbase, where as with EleoChan it was starting from nothing and trying to draw people in.

>>32653
So, like, IRC?

>>32654
Not a rails app :D

>>32657
merb? the directory layout looks quite Rails-esque.

>>32660
Yeah, merb. They're not that different IMO. merb is basically a lighter-weight, modular Rails. I've gotten away with using a rubygem designed for Rails by writing like ~100 lines of wrappers for merb.

Rails 3 is going to basically be like merb, and there's supposed to be a straightforward upgrade path when Rails 3 drops, so eventually it will be a Rails app.

>>32657
I vote lulz. I'm sure they have a thriving guinea pig population already.

>>32683
Jihad kind of had a similar notion.

But damn I don't see why it has to be all like that, like my shit is some kind of experimental psychiatric drug that we have to do clinical trials on and see if causes explosive diarrhea or something.

>>32684
i suppose it's tradition (hi Tradition!) that we test software there. no idea if they're more forgiving of software errors.

>>32684
additionally, if your new board software isn't the web application equivalent of some experimental psychiatric drug that must undergo clinical trials for evaluation of explosive diarrhea as a side effect, you should ask yourself what you're really doing with it.

p.s., current source is here:

http://github.com/Eleo/alibi235/tree/master

obviously work in progress

Billiam /r/'d thumbnails for replies should be optionally smaller than thumbnails for new threads. DONE AND DONE. I set the values ridiculous for demonstration purposes.

>>32930
No animated thumbnails?

What kind of barbaric society are we living in?

>>32993

WTFux.

I still think wtfux should keep original filenames for images as opposed to assigning a ~13 digit number

>>33002

This picture is fantastic, btw.

>>33004 i know it

>>33002
The way it is in my app is that it tries to save with the original filename if it can. If the file exists, it gets renamed by adding some randomness to the end of the file.

So if image.jpg is already on the server it gets renamed to image_123.jpg. The original filename is saved in the database regardless.

It can be configured to use timestamps like most chans. But I always thought that was irritating.

OK, niggas can delete posts and images now.

It looks tacky the way I have it but I've yet to waste time fucking the UI because that's trivial.

Also it works using the power of AJAX. If you have Javascript enabled, it fades out the post you delete, or, if it's the first post of a thread the whole thread gets baleeted. If you're a OCD boob with Javascript turn off it reloads the page. EVERYBODY WINS.

recaptcha implementation per jihad's request

>>33333GET
AWWWWWWWWWW YEAH.

AWESOME.

>>33002
IAWTC, always have

eventually we'll all be talking on google waves anyways.

>>33378
lol, no

I've been slacking quite a bit.

I realized that I actually hate working on frontend stuff. Coding backend stuff is fun and engaging. Interface bores the shit out of me.

The idea is that posts can be moderated directly from the board if a staff member is logged in.
