Hey HN!<p>If you haven't heard, Rhythm was given a cease and desist order. This made me think it would be really fun to learn how it worked, so I made an extremely minimal but viable solution in JS.<p>It's small, it works and it doesn't use your filesystem. Also note, I'm not encouraging that anyone use this.<p>All feedback and criticisms are welcome!<p>https://github.com/jessehorne/bop<p>p.s If you were YouTube or Rhythm, how would you have handled this situation differently? Could there be a way to keep bots like these without having them shut down and also without going bankrupt while running them?
