Show HN: Hoodmaps Meets 4chan I made this as a pair programming exercise with o1-preview. o1 did most of the heavy lifting, through high level prompts, but eventually I needed to diverge from it to get to completion. My initial prompt was: --- I'm making a web app: It's like 4chan, but each thread starts with a gps coordinate. People can only post text and images. I want to build it with flask and sqlalchemy. I want just the backend and data model that supports these threads, anonymous users, and users that can register a permanent username. Write as much of it as you can for me. --- This produced a fully scaffolded Flask app running on sqlite. After that, it took a few (casual) evenings of iteration to dockerize everything, implement postgres instead of sqlite, and use a bucket for storage. On my own, this would have easily taken me 10x the time. https://mapchan.com September 23, 2024 at 06:39PM
