Hi everyone. I built this over the course of the last week as an exercise in learning Django.

I noticed my friends and I tended to share lots of stories about our work-related development woe on IRC and thought it would be good to create a place to share the stories!

Let me know if you've got any feedback.

The voting system is quite.... Completely broken :) While the marker disappears, you can still keep clicking, voting as much as you'd like

I think i've fixed that now! Fingers crossed.

Not quite. Your rate limiting seems to be cookie based, which makes it easy for someone to circumvent just by replaying their initial request (or by deleting the cookie you set).

Or just hit the vote URL repeatedly with cURL (which is done via GET request).

The author might want to change it to POST/PUT and limit votes based on IP address instead.

Told during the final stretch of a four month project that all the colors in the app had to be readable for people with Color Blindness Surely in these days of accessibility awareness this ought to be a design goal by default unless otherwise stated?

I'm more surprised that people actually expect us to have this in the back of our minds at all times. There's a reason they didn't go replacing all stairs with ramps.
