I also made a live map, but it's currently back to being dead after this reddit post died down :(

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.

That means their IP could not be resolved, and their country remains a mystery.

It is real, it geolocates your IP to determine what country to show to your high-five partner.

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.

There is, I made it. It’s very simple, just uses IP geolocation and 2 websockets.

Fun fact, the sound effect is an actual recorded high-five!

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!

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.

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.

When I was a kid, I had this recorded on a VHS tape that I watched at least once a week.
