Heres my ugliest messageboard. Warning: no filtering, no moderation, no protection against any kind of abuse. EDIT: new link, new messageboard, slightly harder to break https://ugliest.app/l/e93dbf19-2cf4-4f6e-82a9-a763bb8fde6f/m...

@bloopbloop10000 is there a way to html escape in the template language?

HTML is now automatically escaped to protect the innocent

It’s a shame you’ve chosen to delete everything after 24 hours. I understand why though. Maybe just make no guarantee that the apps will stay live, so I can share what I make with friends? I like the plain design, very austere and to the point. It would be good if your copy was just as blunt and frank, tell us why it’s good and why we should use it

OP here— you make a good point about sharing with friends. Added a button to make apps last forever!

amazing, cheers! great work

You should add a message length limit.

done - but since no server side controls it's not possible to completely enforce

added a 1024 character limit for each form field on the server side

it needs upvotes, deletion is only an option when at 0.

also: template: :12:48: executing "" at : error calling insert: table "posts" doesn't exist

I love this, but it doesn't look like server-side language is Turing complete. It can only read, write, and delete rows; branches on admin; and returns a random number. Is it possible to extend the language in a way defining functions, if stmt and for loops are possible? Since it already has if, I wonder if I can branch on things other than "admin". EDIT: I stand corrected, looks like using `range .. end` you can act…

It supports eq (==), ne (!=), gt (>), ge (>=), lt (<), le (<=).

Made a quick ugly nostalgic website: https://ugliest.app/l/faf7f8c5-cd2c-47ab-9cb8-f6daf27f74d6/T... Warning: May contain sound Edit: Accidentally left the token on the URL I posted and got pwned... :)

The 8-bit Led Zeppelin really ties it together.
