    Hey, is it not just a simple honeypot reverse hack ssh server?

    Are we coordinating factions here, like the original r/place? The social aspect was such a big part of the original. I'll start:

    # PURPLE FRAME #

    Our mission is to draw a purple frame around the canvas. 2 rows of blank space between the frame and the top/bottom of the canvas. 4 cols of blank space between the frame and the left/right of the canvas.

      I'm wondering if there is a better way to do this. On one hand, we could just do it here but then I can't link people to this page or it'll harm the post. I could also just use a subreddit or make a forum on https://ssh.place

        The organicness of the original was really fun. Dunno if coordinating here really fits the HN vibe, but also go where the people are.

          I'm just wondering what to do when this post dies down. Then I guess I could link to it... It's not like it's going to go back to the front page anyways

    I can't see my cursor if it is placed on top of a cell that has already been colored.

      Oops. I'll fix that right now

    So cool! If I wanted to make a similar product, how should I do it? Do you have any advice or research directions? I saw a company using SSH for hiring a couple of days ago, and I thought it was really cool. I also want to build something similar.

    • jeninh 36 minutes ago

      I'm going to be so honest, I don't have much advice for you. I'm a teenager who's part of Hack Club (https://hackclub.com) who made this entirely for fun.

      I was inspired by @zachlatta's SSHtron (https://github.com/zachlatta/sshtron) and wanted to make an SSH game. I loved how easy it was for him to promote it too, he made a HN post with title "ssh sshtron.zachlatta.com" because it gets people to try out the actual game rather than look at a README. If you have a business, find something useful that would help! Or in my case, find something fun you want to make/remake to be used in the terminal over SSH. Hack Club also used to have a hiring page over SSH, if I recall correctly.

      My code uses wish, bubbletea and lipgloss from Charm. You can look at the code over at https://github.com/jeninh/ssh.place

      Good luck!

    > Your cooldown is tied to your SSH key

    This sounds like a recipe for bots that bypass the cooldown...

      I also have limits for IP and device + some other factors :) The full details are in the README on GitHub. But also I don't expect too many people to find this, it's one of my first public projects. If we do get a surge of people then I'll implement something better.

    This is fun, I tried to draw a flower but it sucks.

    • jeninh an hour ago

      It's a pretty flower :-) I hope it wasn't you who put that red line through it

      • erikschoster an hour ago

        lol no someone else did that while i was drawing it. thanks :)

    I love ssh apps! See also late.sh, and my own https://shellbox.dev

    • nickzelei an hour ago

      Shellbox looks really cool! I love the proliferation of ssh apps lately… Ever since I saw the terminal coffee I’ve been inspired. I’ve been working on https://billard.sh myself for a bit.

    • jeninh an hour ago

      Shellbox is so sick!!! I'm going to look into implementing it into a project I'm working on.
