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

Usually I'm the one that leaves people hanging, now I know how it feels.

Edit: Took a few minutes but it got answered from Germany.

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?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

I think it’s the current time of day, since it’s 3.30am in NY. Also, at one point it got around on some chinese forums and such, and you would get them almost exclusively from China.

I don’t know what it is about this that works, but it’s fantastic. It’s just nice to know you’ve made contact with someone, especially if you’re lonely and I have no friends.

I have put it in my favourites bar in Safari.

iMakeWebsites4u t1_j1z6myp wrote

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.

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.

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.

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.
