Earlier quoted context omitted.

it's a tiny flask server, a bitset stored in redis, updates broadcast (too frequently! but i don't want to change it now) via websockets, and react-window to only render the checkboxes that are in view. I'll do a writeup when i finish putting out fires!

for future readers, i ended up swapping things out and batching my updates. spooky to do live, but helped a lot with performance

You could sell T-shirts to cover your costs:

A T-shirt with a checked box on the front an unchecked box on the back.

A T-shirt with an unchecked box on the front and a checked box on the back.

At first I was clicking the top but people kept unchecking my stuff. Why can't we (we ? who's that we ?) all get along toward clicking them all ? So I figured there would be less people fighting down the window, right ? For a while I was alone. It was a boring and meaningless job but it felt peaceful. Then I met someone who's also checking boxes, 5 seconds top, they are gone. Okay, then I kept scrolling, checking box…

Why must you destroy things? I am merely trying to restore the checkboxes to their original state in nature.

Agreed.

Each time a checkbox is checked, a backend job asks ChatGPT to analyze the board state and write a script using Brainfuck that updates the checkbox states and runs it directly in production. AI LLM cloud crypto.

You said crypto but you forgot where running it in production writes the checkbox change event to the blockchain. Checkbox display states only get read from the blockchain, obvi. Otherwise how could it possibly be secure Checkboxcoin will be a separate product though, that's for the funding

How can I pump? 3 months from now I should dump.

Would be fun to read a writeup of how you implemented it.

> react-window

I'm confused, I read everyday on hacker news that react is the slowest JS framework ever made. Seems fine to me.
