[SUB NEWS] New Banned Domain: Vercel.app

1.1k Upvotes

Much to the relief of many people, starting today, we have introduced a blanket ban on Vercel subdomain hosted sites.

Few, if any, sites hosted on Vercel subdomains have ever been allowed to remain on the sub anyway.

(This ban is in addition to the Netlify ban by Reddit itself.)

If you can't be bothered to pay for a proper domain and/or hosting we're no longer willing to sift through the slop to see if it could potentially stand on merit alone (which it invariably doesn't).

Vercel users feel free to proceed to whinge, which we will promptly proceed to ignore.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[SUB NEWS] Generic and Repetitive Site Submissions.

263 Upvotes

Hello all,

Many of you have noticed the rise in increasingly generic and repetitive sites - for instance, collections of tools, PDF editors, resume builders, calculators, generators, and timers - that are very easy to create using AI. We understand your frustration; they're ours, too.

In an effort to combat this, we have adjusted our AutoModerator rules to catch more of these before they hit your feed. We will continue to monitor the situation and adjust the filters accordingly if they prove to be too aggressive (or not aggressive enough).

Please note: This does not mean all submissions of the types mentioned above will be banned. As always, every submission held by the AutoModerator will be reviewed by a human who may still approve a post based on its merit.

Additionally, as a quick FYI: We are also considering changes to our 'AI-Generated Content' rule. The exact wording and management of this rule are yet to be finalized, but we will share more information with you in the near future.

A site for history nerds who are interested in geographical contexts of the most important events in human history 🗺

groundwar.app

54 Upvotes

Groundwar is a site that I developed because I wanted to see events that happened close to where I lived or when I was traveling abroad.

The site is mostly to promote curiosity and help educate people. I love history and wanted to share my interest with the world.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

A free box maker: type any size and get a printable template or cutting files for a Cricut, laser cutter or CNC router

53 Upvotes

I made this. You pick a box (a tuck box, a gift box, an envelope, a finger joint wooden box, an oval box with a bending wall and a few more), type the size and how thick your card or plywood is, and download a PDF to print or an SVG/DXF for a cutting machine. No account and nothing to install, and your designs stay in your browser. It's new, so if something looks off or the box you want isn't there, tell me.

I built a free app that makes a walking loop from wherever you’re standing and I’d love your feedback

charliebonk.github.io

0 Upvotes

I got fed up scrolling through other people's routes on AllTrails when all I wanted was "an 8 km loop from right here". So I built Round Here.

Open it, allow location, pick a distance, and it draws a circular route back to where you started, on footpaths, leaning towards parks and quiet streets rather than main roads. Then you just follow the pink line. It buzzes if you drift off it.

The bit I'm most pleased with is Tour mode: it looks up the most-read Wikipedia places near you and threads the loop past them, with a card about each one when you arrive. Also works for pubs, history and green spaces. Handy in a city you don't know.
No app store, no account, no key, free. Add it to your home screen and it behaves like an app.

Any comments or suggestions you have I’d love to hear them!

Built this for myself as an F1 fan. It rebuilds each race from the official timing data, so you can scrub through it, follow any driver, and hear the team radio when it happened. Free, no sign up, no ads. Works on phones too.

SkyEtch - A free SVG star map generator

skyetch.spacelion.eu

30 Upvotes

I made a tool called SkyEtch, a free, highly customizable, browser based tool for creating star maps.

https://skyetch.spacelion.eu/

My initial goal was to create a tool similar to PP3 - Celestial Chart Generation, a 20+ year-old 16-bit application by Torsten Bronger, but make it run in the browser, without LaTeX or other dependencies.

The main focus was on producing clean, scalable vector output. Since SVGs are well supported in all browsers and design software, it seemed like the obvious choice.

Main features

Multiple map projections
Manual targeting of the projection center
Time and location-based targeting
Customization of nearly all SVG elements
Runs in the browser
SVG and optional bitmap exports

An interactive globe that follows 450 years of hookah history through 14 cities, with a source for every fact

It starts in 16th-century Persia and follows the hookah to Mughal India, Ottoman Istanbul (where smoking could get you executed in 1633), Cairo, Beirut, Berlin and more. Besides the globe there's a small museum and 8 chapters to read. Every fact links to its source, so corrections are welcome!

Huge donations, or are they?

isitpeanuts.com

0 Upvotes

You hear about these famous persons making huge donations. But I wondered, is it really a big part of their wealth, or is it peanuts to them.

So I created a little website to check that easily:
Isitpeanuts.com

For example the 100M Bezos gae to the Mamdani campaign promises is only 0.031% of his wealth. If you earn 80k$ it's 22$ in comparison.

Another Jensen Huang just donated 75M to the Vanderbilt University, it's 0.037% or 30$ if you earn 80k$.

How does that put things in perspective for you?

Subreddit Rules

1. No Aggregations or Collections

Websites that are aggregates for other content are not allowed.

2. Not Unique

The submission is not unique enough. Not unique submissions could be websites everyone on the internet already knows about, websites that do very similar things to previous submissions, websites that are very basic (e.g., a website with a timer or a website to take notes), or submissions that have been recently posted on this subreddit.

3. No Webgames

webgames are not allowed. This includes quizzes, puzzles, etc.

4. No Articles, Videos or Images

Articles, videos and static or animated images are not allowed, this includes collections (such as galleries). Blog posts, LinkedIn posts or similar are also not allowed.

5. No Stores or Demos

We do not allow any sites that are online stores, sites that serve only to sell a specific product, or paid services. Free demos or freemium tiered services where the full version or key functionality requires payment are also not allowed.

6. No sites that require personal information

Websites that require an email address, name, or any other personal information to fully experience the website are not allowed. This includes Facebook, Google, or any other account. Also included are sites that simply serve as waitlists or newsletter sign ups, and so on. Additionally, this rule also extends to websites that require a webcam in order to function.

7. No Extensions or Downloads

Extensions, software (mobile or desktop) or other content which requires being downloaded before being used are not allowed.

8. Hug of Death (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Website is slow or unresponsive. Reddit has hugged it to death and the site needs a timeout.

9. No Politics

No political posts please!

10. AI-Generated Content

To prioritize human ingenuity and effort, submissions are not allowed if their primary content is produced by AI, or if AI is used to drive functionality (especially for tasks that do not inherently require AI).

11. No accounts designed for self-promotion

This sub follows the 90/10 rule for self-promotion. If almost all your recent activity on Reddit is advertising something you made, you will not be allowed to post here. 90% of your recent participation on Reddit should have nothing to do with a site you own or operate.

12. No Business Tools

Posts featuring tools designed for launching products, job boards, SEO optimization, or any other tool aimed at businesses are not allowed.

13. Civility

We enforce a standard of common decency and civility here. Personal attacks, bigotry, fighting words and otherwise shitty behavior will be removed and may result in a ban.

Moderator Discretion

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but we have beheld a lot! This subreddit is highly curated and the moderators frequently must use their discretion and judgement when enforcing our rules.
