I made an HN-themed BBS to practice Htmx (and forgot to use Htmx for it)

Once I realize what I'd done, I decided that I could use htmx to automatically add new posts to threads, and give an unobtrusive notification when new threads are available while you're posting, some other small stuff like that.

But I haven't gotten around to it. My plan was to publish this after adding the htmx stuff, proper moderation, etc. But whatever, for now, please don't spam it because I don't want to write SQL today lol.

Please say hi!

That was a cute little app, I enjoyed poking around. The sql injection bit made me laugh and honestly pushed me to actually reply and dig into the code a bit. It's funny how "this might have a vulnerability!" might be a good way to get the geek/hacker engagement up out of curiosity.
