What do you think of my most recent personal project?
- waxjar 14y agoHaha, awesome. Landing page needs a little unbootstrapping, imo. Concept is great!
- jontonsoup 14y agoIts mostly mobile based, but you can see some of the things people are posting in the all posts section.
- tadzik 14y agoAwesome.
- jontonsoup 14y agoThanks! :)
- voodoochilo 14y agovery nice. laughed my ass off.

- finleymedia 14y agoThere is already a site like this: twitter.
- stcredzero 14y agoI was expecting another programming language.
- jontonsoup 14y agothanks I'll take a look!
- anteater 14y agoNice. Why did you make it QR-code based instead of location-based with GPS?
- andrewljohnson 14y agoGPS does not work inside, particularly down to stall in a bathroom precision.
- jontonsoup 14y agopeople don't like to give GPS to a random toilet application lol
- MehdiEG 14y agoiPoo (http://www.ipoonow.com/ http://www.ipoonow.com/) meet QR codes. Nice.
- aeeeee 14y agoI think this may be the first practical use of QR codes that I've seen, nice!
- jiggy2011 14y agoOK, if british public toilets are anything to go by it is only a matter of time before this is primarily used by cottagers and gay prostitutes.
- jontonsoup 14y agoWe haven't seen any evidence of "misuse" on the platform yet. But we only have done a small amount of testing.
- colbycornish 14y agoHOLY SHIT THIS IS WONDERFUL
- billpatrianakos 14y agoThere is so much to love about this. It takes writing on the stall wall to the 21st century. It seems like an indictment of asinine status updates. It has great use of double entendras (spelling?): "Start the movement"! "Plop! The rest is history". And it totally speaks to the 12 year old boy that lives inside me. I really love how you took something hilarious and immature but still made it smart and somehow witty.
- jontonsoup 14y agoThanks. We also made a video that you will probably like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn3aoNhy12M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn3aoNhy12M

- kalail 14y agoThis is so damn great. MUST ORDER THEM ALL.
- tehwebguy 14y agoThis is very cool. Since you're asking for feedback, here's mine: Definitely add GPS as an option. Maybe you can hook into Google Places or Foursquare to find the location or address. You can narrow it down to individual stalls if you want to give the user the option. I know there are a lot of good reasons not to use GPS here, but it seems like having it as an option would definitely help so that people can get involved by just using the app.
- jontonsoup 14y agoThanks! I'm definitely planning on adding gps as an option so people don't need stickers to post on a stall.
- dredmorbius 14y agoThe part of your personal project that I might be vaguely interested in is "what can it do for me?". The fact that it's yours, personal, latest, or that you want to know what I think aren't particularly compelling. Use a better headline next time. And ... answering your question having visited the page: not much.
- Produce 14y agoDumbest thing I've seen all month.
- sakopov 14y agoFinally something to do while you're dropping a deuce (other than reading HN, of course). I don't know about a great idea, but it is a humorous one indeed. :)
- jvehent 14y ago"Our team has a combined 25 years of programming experience" Irrelevant, and wrong. Take 100 people, teach them CS for 3 months, you get 25 years of programming experience. But I wouldn't want to have anything to do with their code.
- jontonsoup 14y agoIts a poop joke... lighten up.
- burlburrbrian 14y agoCan you flag certain codes as not actually being a toilet stall? I may want to post one of these codes in the damp corners of a CTA train car (and other stinky locations).
- colbycornish 14y agoWe don't necessarily have "flagging" but we have enabled a crowd-sourced "Tell Us Where This Stall Is" feature (with optional GPS tagging). However, the whole premise is based around being a mobile forum...so there's really no reason why you couldn't 'dump' it into some dark, damp, corners of a train car...(just keep in mind that all the in app language is tailored for poop jokes!)
- wallawe 14y agoVery nice, despite the ridiculousness of the idea, it could potentially work. The landing page needs some work though for sure. Is there an email I could reach one of you guys at?
- colbycornish 14y agoYeah! Shoot us an e-mail at either vladamirpoopin@stalltalk.info or andersonpooper@stalltalk.info We'd love to hear from ya!
- AznHisoka 14y agoPeople have such poor toilet habits. We need to focus while taking a dump instead of poking on our mobile phones, or reading. We need to squat rather than sit. We need to relax rather than strain.
- RockyMcNuts 14y agonot useless enough. slap a QR code on anything, document it, annotate it, discuss it. for sure you can come up with a rev model... if people are in there too long offer Ducolax... other context-based offers and ads... let people report when stuff needs servicing
