TL;DR https://almost-reddit-place.vercel.app/ https://almost-reddit-place.vercel.app/
I cloned the Reddit minigame that was available this year's April Fools' Day on the r/place subreddit. Anyone all around the globe can join the journey of painting a canvas with millions of pixels. The main difference, I made it open sourced! Host your own canvas and share it privately only with your community or just share it with everyone!
I built all of this in around 4 hours and the best part, I spent more time on the front end than on the backend. The biggest challenge I expected was how to synchronize 4 million pixels between hundreds of users. Appwrite Realtime server managed everything for me and results show up to 1 million users could use the app at the same time!
Feel free to play around! And no phalluses please
