Show HN: Hoodmaps Meets 4chan
I made this as a pair programming exercise with o1-preview.
o1 did most of the heavy lifting, through high level prompts, but eventually I needed to diverge from it to get to completion.
My initial prompt was:
---
I'm making a web app:
It's like 4chan, but each thread starts with a gps coordinate.
People can only post text and images.
I want to build it with flask and sqlalchemy.
I want just the backend and data model that supports these threads, anonymous users, and users that can register a permanent username.
Write as much of it as you can for me.

This produced a fully scaffolded Flask app running on sqlite. After that, it took a few (casual) evenings of iteration to dockerize everything, implement postgres instead of sqlite, and use a bucket for storage. On my own, this would have easily taken me 10x the time.
