I just wanted to share a project I made over the week, called staticfuzz (http://staticfuzz.com/).

It's an open source (MIT license), live (async) message board, in the spirit of early anonymous message boards, like http://www.2ch.net/ and Kareha.

What's unique:

  * Memories only ever exist in memory (RAM)
  * Optionally, you can easily use a persistent database
  * Memories streamed live, asynchronously, with server-sent events
  * Easy to configure
  * Notification system
  * Easy-to-create "slash comamnds"
  * Miscellaneous mood settings (e.g., random backgrounds)
  * Easily config

I started this repository for Hypatia Software Organization (http://hypatia.software), hopefully as a good way to introduce web app development to the women learning in our organization.

Here's an article explaining how staticfuzz works, how it's setup: http://hypatia.software/2016/01/29/polling-is-a-hack-server-sent-events-eventsource-with-gevent-flask-nginx-and-freebsd/
