Now I'm curious, Are there any websites that do something similar to /r/place? (hackathon idea?)
Also, reminds be of the million dollar front page [1].

- criley2 9y agoSome redditors have created /r/place derivatives already. I'm not aware of one prior to /r/place but it seems impossible that it hasn't been done before

- DanHulton 9y agoA long time ago, I built http://www.ipaidthemost.com/ http://www.ipaidthemost.com/, which is kinda related, at least to TMDH anyhow. Far, far less collaborative than /r/place, but similar in terms of staking out ownership.
- jacquesm 9y agoHilarious. That's got to be the most direct monetization strategy since tmdhp.

- Twirrim 9y agoDoes that actually make money?
- zepolen 9y agoLooks like it's made $23.25 so far @ 1.50$ for the message. If it reached 5$, he'd have made 25,000$
- loeber 9y agoYour math is off -- if it reached $5, he'd have made $250. I think you were counting in cents. To convince yourself: >>> total = 0 >>> for i in range(5, 500, 5): ... total += i >>> total 24750
- zepolen 9y agoHey you're right, my bad.
- Twirrim 9y agoBut there's all the hosting costs to consider.
- joenot443 9y agoI love it. Wish this had been my idea.

- AldousHaxley 9y agoNot quite the same, but my startup, Formgraph[0], also does public, real-time collaborative drawing. I even did a similar write-up about the stack behind it the other day[1]. Looks like they're relying on Cassandra and Redis. I went with RethinkDB. Should probably do a write-up about the front end in the future.

- theklub 9y agoActually this idea has been around for years, and sadly isn't new at all. I just checked and there is one that's been around since at least 2006, http://da-archive.com/index.php?showtopic=42405 http://da-archive.com/index.php?showtopic=42405 I remember lueshi
- ag_47 9y agoRight, true. Collaborative drawing was basically the "hello world" of real-time platforms back in the day (Firebase, Parse etc). But I think most of those were ephemeral canvases.
- AldousHaxley 9y agoYeah, collaborative drawing is kind of old hat, but when you can use the context of the modern, social web to provide some new modes of interaction around it, it can be interesting again. Same applies to more mundane things like text.
- Raphmedia 9y ago/r/place spawned this clone: http://placepx.com http://placepx.com
- Ajedi32 9y agoThere were definitely a few that popped up after /r/place closed down. (pxls.space being the most popular) They were nowhere near as successful as /r/place though.
- est 9y ago4chan's moot's previous startup was something called canvas.
- wingerlang 9y agoThat was not realtime nor collaborative on a single pane. It was a "remix" platform where one user created the initial drawing, then people used it as a base and drew around/over it to change it - in a new picture. It was quite interesting for a little while.
