"No painting found for today"

Shoot. I tested it on Firefox, Chrome and Safari without any issue. I will check the logs

I'm not sure it's a browser issue, maybe a load issue? Could there be throttling on the backend API you're using to fetch the artwork?

I think this could be a fun and not so intimidating way to start to get more intentional in art appreciation. A couple minutes a day is a low enough investment that it would be easy to add to any schedule. I look forward to trying this when it's working.

Thank you for making it your browser startpage, that's flattering! Regarding the previous discussions, for now I'd like to try having only the artwork and the discussion for the current day. It goes against what most content platforms are proposing today with all the unlimited feeds everywhere but I feel it's a good way for people to take the time to reflect on the artwork and get deeper conversations. All the previo…

You should have an archives page where we can see earlier paintings with closed comments.

Completely disagree. I love the contrast of this platform vs other social medias. The focus is on the moment, the current discussion. There is no infinite scrolling and timesuck. Also, not recording historical comments makes contributions more authentic. Nobody's trying to get a comment that will go down in platform history. It's like a real conversation. It exists in your memory. I think this minimalism and focus the main reason I really like this site.

Do you get the same "No painting found for today" error as well? I'm fetching the artwork + metadata myself in advance to avoid any throttling on the API. I don't see any error on that endpoint in my logs, this is strange. I will investigate it further.

Great idea, I just made this my browser startpage. What happens to the discussion from the day before? How do you plan to solve comment spam?

I appreciate the "just the current day" angle, but would gently remind about timezones. A 24-hour rotation isn't super friendly towards people who are online at the edges of that window. You might consider keeping a viewable archive of yesterday, just so one always has time to go back and see comments/replies.

It originally didn't load for me on Firefox. I turned my ad blocker off though and it loaded.

That would be a big win for me if people feel this way. I'm delighted with the comments the artwork is getting so far, great insights from everyone! I will check the logs in the morning (UTC timezone here) and will get to the bottom of this.
