I love this kind of stuff, makes me nostalgic for the early days of the internet. There are still so many fun, interesting things to find out there. However, in a twist of irony they seem so much more difficult to discover now.

Btw, you can watch a live feed of their printer, where you should see your artwork coming up:

Love this. Manually updating the guestbook doesn't sound fun though. >last update December 10, 2024 It figures.

I just had to try, got a bitmap and set it directly on the canvas using js, I wonder if it will print.

Canvas is 348x348.

Fun fact: the dates somewhat leak location as they appear to be in whatever local format the poster happens to have set up.

Also this makes them somewhat unreadable because for some you can't tell if it's month then day or day then month.

(Not that it matters for this specific case ^^)

MiiVerse used to have a similar feature where people could post drawings and messages (and game screenshots) that would (potentially) show up in your Mii plaza.

I wonder how many drawings had a rating greater than PG-13.

The site appears to have gotten the ol' hug-of-death. For those who have seen the contents, can you answer if this is SFW or NSFW? The existing comments in this thread imply the latter.

Edit - downvotes for asking a question? Hackernews is becoming more and more like reddit each day.
