I had hoped that society had learned better than to tolerate "upload all your data and we'll give you a cute little game" back in the era of Facebook games.

There's no privacy policy, no data usage policy, no contact information, just "upload all your photos and we'll retain them forever and offer them up to whoever you share a URL with"

OP is simply sharing a little game he made for a family member and inviting others to play with it. That's just the kind of thing Show HN is for.

A project like this doesn't need a privacy policy or a data policy, and it doesn't need to address social problems. If we start imposing bureaucratic checklists and social burdens on little projects, that will smother them and kill all the fun.

If and when it turns into Facebook, legal teams will do the needful. In the meantime let's use HN to respond to people's projects in the intended spirit: fun, curious, creative.
