I've created a new guestbook service - come join!
Heya!
So, If you've been keeping up with my blogposts for a bit, you probably know about the guestbook service I'm making. Well, it's out now! You can get an invite! Go email me!
Alright, now that that's out of the way, lemme tell you a bit about the current state of things. Here's a list of all the features I've got implemented already:
- iframe embeds (no javascript required)
- custom css
- setting your guestbook to manual approval mode
- exporting your data in JSON, CSV and HTML
- The ability to IP ban users from your guestbook
- optional two-factor auth
- guestbook descriptions with markdown support
- refreshing the page when writing a guestbook entry won't reset what you've written
- the ability to manually change the creation date of a newly created entry on your own guestbook, to make importing your data easier
- randomly generated audio and image captchas
- a privacy policy
- clearly laid out guidelines for what is and isn't allowed on the platform
- the ability to delete your account without needing to email me about it
And here's what's on the roadmap:
- Javascript embeds that work like meadow.cafe
- easy self-hosting instructions (you can do it currently, but the docs are kind of a mess)
- the ability to reply to guestbook entries
- an indicator that shows a guestbook is approval-only
- ability to turn off default guestbook styling
- ability to easily share custom themes
- option to periodically get emailed a backup of your guestbook data
That's all I've got to say for now! I'll probably make another blogpost at some point going a bit more in-depth. For now though - have fun!
Oh right, here's the github repo.
