Show HN: A website for sharing the "Good, Bad, and Why"s of urban spaces

89 pointsby kappasanabout 2 months ago
Hello HN! We&#x27;re a small team in Kyoto building a website called dédédé (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dedede.de&#x2F;en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dedede.de&#x2F;en</a>) that invites people to share the various positives, negatives, oddities, etc. they find in urban spaces.<p>The project grew out of an earlier effort where we&#x27;d built an app that assisted participatory urbanism workshops run by local nonprofits. With the new platform, we&#x27;re trying to build something similar but more casual and hopefully with broader appeal, that&#x27;ll be fun to use even outside of formal workshop situations.<p>We&#x27;d love to hear your thoughts!

Technical note: I am using FF on Linux, and needed to go to google translate to be able to read the site. The main page [1] loads with images, but when I click through, the images don&#x27;t load on the detail pages [2].<p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dedede-de.translate.goog&#x2F;en?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en&amp;_x_tr_pto=wapp" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dedede-de.translate.goog&#x2F;en?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=e...</a><p>2. eg: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dedede-de.translate.goog&#x2F;en&#x2F;posts&#x2F;hKOjEJV9mf?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en&amp;_x_tr_pto=wapp" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dedede-de.translate.goog&#x2F;en&#x2F;posts&#x2F;hKOjEJV9mf?_x_tr_s...</a>

This is very cool, thanks for sharing it. I&#x27;ll try to add some entries about Vancouver when I have time.

OP here - just to let you know the signup form asks for an email address, but we&#x27;re just using it as the user ID so a non-working address works fine.<p>EDIT: apart from one minor inconvenience, you won&#x27;t be able to reset your password if you forget it

Love it, simple sentiment gathering. AI bots are going to love to crawl that one ;)

Oh cool, when I have free time I have many dozens in Japan that I could add.

Incidentally while exploring this site I discovered how much better the highlight and &quot;translate&quot; feature of iOS has gotten!<p>Thanks kappasan!

Adding automatic translation will make the site more accessible for a broader audience.

feels a lot like a pattern language! I&#x27;d love for your site to catch on in my neck of the woods.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Pattern_language" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Pattern_language</a>
