I love this. All my high fives came from the UK. Pretty sure it’s just one guy sitting at home hoping to high five everyone in the world.

Apparently 4 am is not the time to do it, I got UK, Norway, US. UK Norway, US. Then had to wait multiples times to no high five back.

This is basically a website to let people experience an high-five hanging. So cruel.

If you're getting high-fives from Slovenia, that's me trying to not leave people hanging. But I have to go sleep, so if someone from the US could take over, that'd be great!

seanbrockest t1_j1xrvze wrote

I don't wanna be that guy, but is there any real backend to this? Or is it just a random country name generator?

17

arto64 OP t1_j1yb9zv wrote

There is, I made it. It’s very simple, just uses IP geolocation and 2 websockets.

23

HaikuBotStalksMe t1_j1xwt40 wrote

I believe you mean a random country selector. A random country generator would make a random country.

seanbrockest t1_j1xx94t wrote

Hey, I'm up for either.

If AI art generators can make me pictures of naked ladies in 2022, by 2025 they should be able to generate a whole country.

Out of curiosity, are there dedicated naked lady generators already? Theseboobsdonotexist.com ?

No, and more of them are banning nudity entirely. Wonder still allows nudity, but I think it's the only one.

GentlewomanBastard t1_j1wprxb wrote

I got one from Germany and one from Luxembourg. Wish I could chat with them or something, otherwise how do I know the website isn’t just saying someone from these places high fived me?

8

arto64 OP t1_j1wq9ai wrote

I made this during the lockdowns. Any chat function would inevitably open the way to negative interactions. A high five can only be positive.

The backend is very minimalistic, and uses an IP geolocation database, geolocation being a kind of affirmation that it is a person you are interacting with.

29

Tell-Me-To-Work t1_j1wx70v wrote

I pressed the high five button and then I placed the phone against my naked bottom. Someone in Japan high fived my bare arse.

How are you going to deal with that?

29

arto64 OP t1_j1x2zdu wrote

Hm, I could try some type of AI touchscreen-arse detection, then I can run a heavy JavasScript loop to sufficiently heat up the phone battery , which should make you remove the phone from your arse.

sgrams04 t1_j1wyfeh wrote

He obviously didn’t test this thoroughly

4

GentlewomanBastard t1_j1wsscv wrote

I see. Maybe there could me a minimalist message picker or something? Like you could hit the high five button and then choose one of five messages to send along with it?

That would keep it simple and without negativity, but still increase the interaction a bit more.

Just a thought!

7

[deleted] t1_j1wxdvr wrote

I think it would just ruin the concept. Some things are better remained simple.

16

sgrams04 t1_j1wyhgo wrote

Agreed. Leave it be a high five and only that

TupperCoLLC t1_j1yc3na wrote

Why not just use discord or reddit or any number of other places if you want to chat with new people? Not saying this as a diss but I think that would take the website away from its real intent.

2

GentlewomanBastard t1_j1zhgj1 wrote

Not trying to have full on conversations to meet people — just low stakes interactions!

Honestly it just felt to me like the high fives were empty and I was trying to think of a way to make them feel more meaningful.

Discord is something completely different.

TupperCoLLC t1_j1zjq1c wrote

Discord has always felt pretty low risk to me at least. Just don’t be an idiot on it obviously

There's no way of verifying this is true, which I don't like. This could just be telling you random country names.

I suggest allowing users to also send a 1 sentence message. Like a thought bubble on the hand when it high fives you.

edit: lol the dislikes. people don't like differing opinions or honest feedback lol. ironic in a forum space.

arto64 OP t1_j1zayze wrote

It intentionally does not include any real means of communication, because that just invites negativity and trolling. I made it and I can assure you it’s real, and took me about day to implement, because all it does is resolve both IPs using an IP geolocation database.

iMakeWebsites4u t1_j1znn94 wrote

I don't doubt that it's real, but what i am saying is that it makes me feel that way. im giving you my honest review. I've seen this practice a lot especially on mobile apps where they tell you you're playing multiplayer online, but in reality it's a bot you're playing against. And the more you play the game the more noticeable it becomes, and then once you realize it, it feels like a false experience. Then user retention goes down.

It's a good idea though.

I'm seeing the potential of what this could be or become .

This is how you can solve commentary trolling: you supply a list of words a user can use, it could be point and click, and they can click on a word and form simple sentences, that way no bad words can be used. Simple messages, you can even throw in some emojis. That would be fun.

I appreciate your work, good job on getting it done and putting something out there.
