Poldare - Actually Works Now edition

poldare.com
(give the thread a bump if you like)

Some of you probably remember the early tests on Sup Forums. For those of you that don't, it's like Omegle, except for politics. And less populated. And more primitive.

Anyway, now it works (for the most part), and is ready to be populated. If you have some (political) places to recommend where I can post this, do say.

For those of you who did not visit since I last posted, here's the changelog:
-Added active chat and queue list on homepage
-Added a forced reconnect function which activates after 1 minute of failing to check new messages
-Prevented in-chat image dragging, scrollbar now works
-Added "About" page
-Added security measure so it will be harder to foreign messages to flow in your chat (both purposeful and accidental/glitches)
-Limited input field, so you can't type more than the message allows
-Previously, if you were to type too rapidly, a part of your new message (after pressing enter) would be "eaten". This is now fixed
-Print function (you can now print your chat in text format after the chat is over)
-You can see the name of opponent's position when hovering
-many other things I can't remember off the top of my hat

To be done:
-Public chats
-Notification about who you connected with
-General performance fixes

To be done after developed userbase:
-https (secure connection) - can't by default, I checked. Provider wants $25 for it
-"the other user is typing" thing

Ancient demo video

Also, forgot:

Will change font soon. I completely missed for a long time that "Ubuntu" font won't work on windows.

I can import it with a single line, but that would include font.google scripts on the website (which I'm trying to avoid for obvious reasons).ž


If you know a native windows fonts that look similar to what I posted in pic/webm, do say, I'll add it right away.

Bretty gud, have a bump

(checked)

Thanks matey.

Such engaging political discourse! Wow!

much deep

bumparino

Temporarily changed font to Arial.

Not entirely happy with it, but since most of people are windows users I suppose it will work until a better solution is found.

bumping this

Thank you Sven.

bump for the natsoc guy in queue

Also, this needs a lot of users to kick it off.

If you have a big social media/forum/other type of platform, do post about this.

I will credit you in the "About" page, just send me an email.


If you're queued, just bump the thread, someone will join.

last bump

bump

This is bad

in which sense?

Yo need to post this on /leftypol/ as well and reddit

I keep disconnection

The site is shit where is the "Nationalist" option

Natsoc != Nat

There is already a thread on /leftypol/ and /liberty/.

Most users that come randomly through the day come from there, in my estimation (based on positions).

Already posted in some subreddits. Someone suggested r/politics, will do that right now and see what happens.

But casually, reddit is somewhat unresponsive to new accounts.

Also, do not refresh your queues - this will only mess you up.

That's on my fix list. Everything works fine so long as you (or user you're connecting to) doesn't hit F5 like an idiot.

>where is the "Nationalist" option

There are multiple options there with either implicit or explicit nationalism.

That's like asking me where is "centrist" option

Who is this autist

Well I suppose there are few people seeking just to fuck shit up, heh. But your picture reminds me.

I completely forgot to mention that this works like crap on mobile.

Why cant you pair with ur own bros. This is gay

There is a guy that keeps reconnecting.

I'll have to introduce some method for banning people.

Also, will add the option where you can connect to literally anyone.

Quite cool to be honest. You should post about it on leftist forums and stuff too. Then you'll get some real interesting arguments. Otherwise it will just be Sup Forumstards repeating the same memes to each other.

It's already on /leftypol/.

Just posted it on r/politics, but I doubt reddit will be responsive.
Also, glad you like it.

If anyone has recommendations for websites I can share this, do say. I'm mostly on chans so I don't know crap desu

I agree, post it on leftypol so both sides can actually populate

>rejected from r/politics
God damn.

on leddit you can do politics/socialism/latestagecapitalism/communism/anarchy to try and fill out the left side
just google any kind of "ideology" along with reddit and you'll find people
There really is no populated place like pol for the far left that isn't reddit at this point, leftypol is there but it's a lot slower than 4pol
That's just the natural outcome of picking identity politics though, divide to death

Posted on r/socialism right now. There's a 10min cooldown. I'll try that method.

Bumb

Posted on Sargon subreddit, not sure if it's the official 1 (11k subs)

Thanks matey

Chatting about politics seriously, naaa

You can memepost if you want desu

Can I ask, what does the big "A" button do, in the bottom right of the chat window?

I clicked it and nothing happens.

Jesus Christ. Only approved sources allowed. That place is a fucking hellhole.

>Can I ask, what does the big "A" button do, in the bottom right of the chat window?

It's a proposal button. You enter text and press "A" instead of enter, and it will send your message in form of "Accept"/"Deny" proposal.

It's rarely used, but it can be good for longer debates since you can remind your opponent of propositions he accepted later on.

Will add explanation on the website somewhere.

Damn I tapped the home button then okay cause they are in the exact same spot. Fix the mobile view

Just added a fix that should prevent most people from spamming queues.

Will do. Mobile is the big issue for me atm, since I have little experience with it.

>choose your political affiliation

Nice try CIA. Into the trash it goes.

Ah that's cool. I might try it

Sweet. This is cool.

All proxies and VPNs work on the website, and no tracking scripts/methods are used (for now). That's as far as I can say that is possible to check by anyone.

Glad you like. The "r" thing will remind the opponent of this. The "r" thing works only once per proposal though.

Is there any real expectation for non-Sup Forums people to use this and for it to not be a circle jerk/ troll magent?

bump

I'm working my best on it, that's why I'm asking for feedback.

So far chan populations liked it ( Sup Forums, 8/leftypol/, 8/liberty/ ), but spreading it to the outside was a trouble.
I'm grateful to Millenial Woes because he did post this on twitter, which got some non-chan population into it.

In either case, I'm looking for places where I can promote, but it's somewhat tough due to activity. The website entirely relies on people using it simultaneously so having 500 people click it in span of 24 hours doesn't do much good if they don't find someone to chat with within 5 minutes (after which they usually give up). If such a thing happens, they mostly don't come back because it was a waste of time in their mind.

Another guy suggested paying a youtube streamer to read it off to a large audience, which I might try.

But those are the extents of my ideas atm. If anyone has good suggestions, I will attempt.

Thanks bro.

bump

I appreciate the effort you're putting into it. So far the format seems good and it's definitely simple and straight forward enough for anyone to use.

It's hard getting something to become popular, especially politics.

It's a catch 22. Nobody will stream if they can't match and nobody will use it if they don't know about it! :(

can you please make it possible to view all active chats?

>It's a catch 22
Yeah, that's it. But I'm glad to see that people come back to it generally. At least I know it's not terrible.

In what way? Do you mean as in seeing the content of the chat?

What is the big A for? Marriage proposal?

>What is the big A for? Marriage proposal?
kek

no, see here Also, here's a webm for demonstration

So like a topic header or something?

no, a "proposal". You send it in form of "accept"/"reject".

You can remind the other person of the premises they accepted earlier in chat if you think they're contradicting themselves.

Any chance on being able to send pictures? Perhaps even a shared drawing board? That'd be neat.

What chan is /liberty/ on?

If you mean something like doodle thing, then not in near development future.

If you mean inserting images, then maybe. Links already work. How would that even be used though?

EIGHT ch . net/liberty/

yeah, see it live like Omegle Spy mode

well a lot of info here is displayed with images. You'd have to set a cap obviously

Ah, I get what you mean.

I intend to add that, but it's will be few days of work. There will be an option whether you want your chat to be public or private.

If both want it to be public, then you'll be able to click on it from the frontpage. But, as I said, it's not so easy. Right now, all messages are purged as soon as you receive them. Not even I can access them if they are properly sent/received because they don't exist.

well, simply send the messages to the spy as well. You wouldn't even have to store it

There are many complexities with that proposal, and the fact that messages prior to you joining in wouldn't be visible would be the least of it's problems.

I think I'll store them in a text file, which you as an observed will refresh every 30 seconds or so.

Bumb

Like what this guy said. (and memes..)
As for the doodle thing they're just a personal favourite of mine despite being so easy to troll/grief.

I could easily add inserting links to images, and showing the thumbnail. Uploading, a bit out of website's being lightweight philosophy.

I'll try inserting links for images first, and see how it works out.

bumb

bumberino :DDD

Posted it on several subreddits, hopefully it gets some traction.

Anyway, I have minds.com and gab.ai accounts (it's "poldare" on each I think).

My mail is on the website's frontpage.

>reddit

You have to go back

piss off

S-sorry, it was recommendation from above.

Odjebi Ivane.

>rebbit censoring sources

well imagine my shock

Turn this into an android app and add to google playstore

Already in development, but still having to optimize it for mobile anyway.

I intend to release it on f-droid as open source front-end and google store.

The issue with both is that f-droid has a giant queue so it will take a long time once I push it to finally reach the users. Google play store charges $25 for registering as a developer, but if that's what it takes I'll do it.

Ovo je još jednom da te podsjetim da si peder.

can you make it run better on mobile please. I've been here for the last 2or 3 tests all on my phone.
it works but the UI Is a bit weird

>can you make it run better on mobile please

Yes, that's my next big thing. I know that bottom UI (text entry box, "A" and "Home" buttons) are draggable, and can't figure out why. Will find a way though.

Make a logo

>tfw no inspiration
Will add sooner or later.

thank you for this.its a cool way to waste time.

What is the point of this? I dont want to change anyones views and mine wont change

The pleasure is mine, it's a good feel to make something that people like.

With that stance, I'm not sure. One could shitpost, I guess.

bumberino

If you have some recommendations for places I could link this, please share.

Why is there no Dark Enlightenment/NRx flag?

Well, nowdays many DE/NRx guys transferred to AR from my understanding.

Also, I'm trying to add popular positions in general. I will add if many people request though. Your proposal is noted.

final bump

Hey so there was a Jew silhouette in the background and I started to type something and the other user left. I was flying the fascism flag, was all that normal?

I didn't read any of the thread sorry if this was a redundant question, just wanted something to bump with.

Have a bump lad

>Jew silhouette
You're getting a silhouette of your opponent, not your own. There several jewish personalities in the background images across positions.

The disconnect thing? If the other user left, yes. It happens.

Thanks, much subtle :DDD

Thanks brah

I've been found out

post-final-bump bumberino

HOW ARE THERE SO MANY FUCKING NAZIS ON THERE JESUS

LOL wrong flag NOT a capitalist
*****gross******

we should share this on reddit
