it actually requires approval before it is shown to others ;) making it seem like it was listed when u submit it is a "feel good" thing. of course, if users figure out the quoteid of the specific submission, it is still publicly available. its all in the name of fun :)

sorry about that! was not expecting the server to blow up when we went to bed and it was running off a very small instance since it was a fun little project. no excuses though! we fixed it and it's running now :)

thats a great suggestion :)

thanks for the suggestion :) will definitely look into that!

hi guys, i created this together with @bencxr. thanks for the support! sorry about the server issues, was not expecting it to blow up when i went to bed :p no excuses though, its fixed now! happy monday!

I did notice a few ips voting excessively. I don't think they are bots, probably just trolls. I should implement ip limits.

I had too much faith in the Internet - Evidently I'm wrong :p

:) i had fun building it! slightly off tangent though, building it via flask backend was a pain. on hindsight, i'd probably have used node instead.

i actually noticed a lot of people downvoting "excuses" and decided to switch the positions of the vote up and down buttons. Previously, the vote up was on the left and down on the right. I'm curious to see if the votes will now swing the other way ;)

fwiw, i just added a badge next to each quote to show the points... hope to build a summary page soon :)

that's a great point. i will be adding that in soon :) thanks!
