General Discussion / patratzel: an exquisite corpse application
« on: November 21, 2010, 08:14:17 pm »
Hi pixel people,

My name is Cristi Balan, I'm a web application developer. You don't know me but I want to help :)

====
Short version
====

Me and my girlfriend have made an exquisite corpse style application that you can use, no strings attached. You can use it here:

Right now you can only login with twitter, because it was the easiest to get going.

====
Long version
====

For a long time I've been a fan of the old tiles.ice.org collaborative quilts and I've been searching for a reason to make a fun side project by making a web app that helps people run one. Unfortunately, I have very little skill when it comes to art.

I recently came across the HEXQUISITE CORPSE COLLAB I & II and the ISO collabs and I found them great!

I noticed that the last posts are asking for a new collab and I imagine that lack of time is one of the reasons the admins are not doing more of them.

So, for the last two weeks, me and my girlfriend have wrote an exquisite corpse style app in our spare time.

Right now it only supports square boards and you can only authenticate with twitter. Our plan, if you guys agree, is to give it to you so you can use it for the collabs. We want to add the hex stuff, fixed palettes, and maybe somehow figuring out if people can reuse their forum accounts instead of twitter. We could even host it in a subdomain of wayofthepixel.net if you want.

We don't want to make any money with it or charge the forum users or take users away from the forum or anything like that. Our main goal when writing it was to make some people happy and admins have more time. We plan on making more with the application but what I said above about the pixelation forum will always stand. We'll be doing this as a gift and we'll not expect or demand any compensation for it. If there is a lot of traffic and usage however, we might ask the forum admins to setup a hosting account for the application tho. Depending on how things go, we might even open source the application at some point.

You can have a look at the application here:
