Show HN: basement community, an early-web inspired forum, 6 months later 6 months of running my home-rolled web forum, basement community, and now with Reddit going apeshit, I'd like to take a minute to share recent enhancements to the site. Highlights include: * user count has gotten to over 350!! this is huge!!!! * added more user settings (bionic reading mode, avatars disabled, auto-bookmarking threads, toggle posting hints) * shows latest posts on homepage for easier parsing for new content * posts are saved locally so they are not lost upon page refresh or browser closing * DARK MODE!!! * quality-of-life improvements, such as auto-focusing on form-fields and auto-scrolling to form errors * privacy and FAQ page * joined some more webrings because fuck yeah webrings * adds a bunch of moderation tools for mods and admins * revamps some of the homepage and thread landing page UIs this project makes me happy and i encourage everyone to just start on a project they've been thinking about!!! also the API is free to use unlike some other sites https://ift.tt/NVwaIRv June 15, 2023 at 05:20AM
