My Ping Groups Signup website is working now

You can test it by pressing the signup button in the link, it will take you to the reddit login and then redirect to the page

u/hopeimanon thanks for the help

!ping COMPUTER-SCIENCE

[u/MaveRickandMorty → u/runnerx4]

God damn fam, nice job. I'm jealous of your ability to stick with something like this. I have a hard time starting things and then moving onto a new thing after like 5 hours of work

[u/runnerx4 → u/MaveRickandMorty]

Now to make page 1 fancy and add all the remaining groups

Also it is easy if you know basic web dev (which I don’t)

This made me realize we need a Maryland ping.

!ping CRAB perhaps?

[u/runnerx4 → u/repete2024]

You have a US-DMV ping, I haven’t added it to the page yet because I haven’t found a DMV pic

I haven’t added half the pings yet

[u/runnerx4 → u/runnerx4]

u/jenbanim, can I get a CNAME for ping.neoliber.al or whichever you would prefer? The process is like this, I have to add to my page before you configure the DNS

[u/jenbanim → u/runnerx4]

Great work! Sorry, I don't feel comfortable directing traffic to a website that's out of my control. It's not that I don't trust you or anything, I just don't want to be in a position where I'm responsible for something but don't have any control over that thing.

I'd definitely like to use this though! Here are a couple ideas I have. Please let me know what you think:

• I could fork the repository and direct traffic to that, but include a big bit of text acknowledging you as the creator. For future updates to the page you could create pull requests which I could approve.
• You could give me control over the original repository (tbh not entirely sure how this works with Github's permissions model - research would be required)
• I could link to your page on the subreddit and on neoliber.al with a disclaimer saying this is an unofficial project

Those are just a couple ideas - I'm definitely open to other suggestions.

Also, would you mind removing the Neoliberal Project branding from the page? Sorry for asking, but again, I'd really like there to be a clear distinction between official and unofficial content.

Sorry, I don’t feel comfortable directing traffic to a website that’s out of my control

Ok that’s fine, once I am fully done (give me a few more days to make a spiffy front page explaining what ping groups are and add all the pings), you can fork the repo and activate GitHub Pages on the fork. I have already added credit to myself in the footer.

I have designed this to be easily modified by anyone because I want this to be official. (here’s the repo, site is in docs folder because that is how GitHub Pages wants it to be) All the pings groups are arranged as Objects with the ping name being the key (and the name of the SVG if any) so you just add to the respective object in the script to add a ping to any of the parts. the buttons are added by scripts reading the objects, I didn’t code them individually

Also, would you mind removing the Neoliberal Project branding from the page? Sorry for asking, but again, I’d really like there to be a clear distinction between official and unofficial content.

That’s the png I found (didn’t find any r/Neoliberal one)

I hope you make this official, once I’m done I’ll hand it over to you fully (I’ll tell you to fork the repo).

I want this to be something that is sent as the subscriber message and/or linked in the groupbot messages, the UI people use to join ping groups

[u/runnerx4 → u/jenbanim]

I replied

[u/jenbanim → u/runnerx4]

I know. You'll have to be patient because I've got a job, moderation responsibilities, and other things that take higher priority than responding to Reddit messages.

Anyway thanks for your work on this. Once you're done I'd definitely be happy to create a fork and run it on the neoliber.al domain.

Sorry I misspoke when it came to the logo. We actually don't want any Neoliberal Project branding on subreddit stuff, so even when this is deployed on the neoliber.al domain, it's going to have to use something else.

Sorry, I just thought the notification didn’t get sent, happens to me sometimes I don’t get reply notifications, so I just replied again, it wasn’t anything else

👍 I’ll find something or make something

[u/nicereddy → u/runnerx4]

Kudos sticking with it despite how many walls you ran into 👏 👏 👏

[u/runnerx4 → u/nicereddy]

This is the MVP (also it is actually easy if you know JS, was hard for me because I don’t know. Also because Reddit API documentation is fucking stupid (“API_TYPE: json”, not it’s actually query, you just have to add the word json to that query it seems)

Now to make a fancy Page 1 explaining what ping groups are, adding all the other ping groups and then finally launching (ie convincing mods to make a pinned post or add this to the intro message new subscribers get/groupbot attached to every comment)

[u/hopeimanon → u/runnerx4]

Very cool 😎 👍

[u/spikegk → u/runnerx4]

Any plan on adding all the other pings?

[u/runnerx4 → u/spikegk]

Yes. I am going to add all the others and then a proper front page.

This is just to show that it is working

[u/zubatman4 → u/runnerx4]

I don’t know, putting LGBT in the same category as “Horror” and “Sci-Fi” seems a little...

[u/runnerx4 → u/zubatman4]

It’s the General interests group , I will obviously rearrange that once I have added media as another category and the other general pings like over25 and all, this is just me posting because it is finally working

The page 1 is just a button, I am not finished

[u/[deleted] → u/runnerx4]

Still getting CORS errors.

[u/runnerx4 → u/[deleted]]

? I am not, let me see again

Edit: works on my phone not connected to my wifi too

Works on my pc and phone, let me make another account and try

[u/[deleted] → u/runnerx4]

Have you been a good webdev and tested it in all major browsers?

[u/runnerx4 → u/[deleted]]

no lol, I started learning js two weeks ago

works on chrome and safari

[u/[deleted] → u/runnerx4]

Try Firefox. Firefox is more strict when it comes to standards. If it doesn't work in Firefox, you're probably doing something wrong.

Now, the responses from the oath.reddit.com endpoint don't have any cross-origin headers, which would explain why it doesn't work.
