I get so much (automated) spam in my guestbook even though I put the spam filter to high, I might have to switch to a different guestbook solution or disable it completely :(

I'm currently using https://guestbooks.meadow.cafe/ it has a lot of options but the anti-bot verification is buggy when using js embed

I feel this tbh, and I'm on my way on creating a new comments system that replaces ayano's which also replaces my guestbook

funnily enough, I saw this and I thought I'd drop by and leave your guestbook a message, but the spam filter blocked me lmao apparently my ISP isn't very appreciated by the maintainers of the widget

@floralchai it does not have a reply functionality

@gorciu @floralchai you can kinda "reply" by editing the person's message in the 'review messages' section

Thank you so much for your layout generator!! It's a great starter point for someone like me with minimal starting knowledge, your explanations are lovely and seeing how things change when I touch stuff is my perfect way to learn!

Just wanted to pop over and say hello + thank you. Your layout generator is what finally motivated me to start up a new site. I haven't had one since the mid 00's, and with a full-time job + kid now I'm short on time. Your tool really made my life so much easier and helped me to kickstart my little project, so thank you!!

I feel like webrings is one of the things that makes pages slow. I have my webrings page seperate for like ages and I still measure it time to time because I also put a page load time info on that page, and I usually get from 10 seconds to reaching 3 minutes for 27 webrings (15 widget-based, 12 link-only), and I still getting Lighthouse results on my webring page that it has one of the worst performances on my site.

@jbcarreon123 yeah, scripts like onionring are pretty much the worst thing you can do for perfomance, it irks me so much that so many webrings still use it even though there are several much better options available!!

Hello there Petra! I'm working on a JavaScript library that works around the CSP issues on free accounts by wrapping the Fetch API into an iframe. I'm already planned that it should have compatibility with the Fetch API, but what extra things should I add on it? Thanks!

perhaps similar to a guestbook, with mandatory name and optional site link / email! and perhaps some basic guarding features against spam?

@tofutush yes, categories would be awesome, to go through 60+ websites and give everyone honest points required making spreadsheets to not get lost, categories could help organize it a bit ;)

@lankarta-project this time around, since winners are calculated using average points again, i will not make it a requirement to rate every single website because it would simply be impossible. instead, a random 10-20 or so will be chosen and the rest is optional!
