Show HN: HourlyPuppy

It wasn't until after 'Version 1.0' that I realised this was about pictures of puppies and not actually letting people hire puppies for cheering people up in the hospital or something

This would actually be great if I could rent a puppy for an hour for my kids or something. Maybe you should turn this into an AirBnB for pets. I'm sort of kidding, but sort of serious. I bet PETA would love you ;)

I thought this was touching. I wonder if you could hack one of those picture 'frame' gizmos so that it just came up with a new picture of a puppy every hour. No browser, just a sort of 'happy fun time pictures' picture frame.

I would love to be able to sign my girlfriend up for hourly email updates... (I was planning on doing that, but I ended up having to just tell her about it)

Can I have an HourlyKitty instead?

Can you actually copy someone else's images and serve them from your own website, or does that violate copyright? If you find someone else's images, should you instead link to the original site?<p>I'm actually asking because I'm curious, I don't know what the actual answer is.

you should check out<p><a href="http://www.dailypuppy.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailypuppy.com/</a><p><a href="http://cuteoverload.com/" rel="nofollow">http://cuteoverload.com/</a>

Make sure to check out the little message with the paw next to it in the top right corner on refresh. Nice touch.

Whoa, I've been working on something extremely similar for my wife: <a href="http://www.pupgrade.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.pupgrade.com</a><p>It's not strictly about cheering people up but kinda the same thing. It's like we were reading each others minds!

I love you. You are a hero.

In addition to e-mailing for Submit Puppy, have you considered adding a Drag-and-Drop or a Browse/Upload? (You could even add a captcha!)

I want a new puppy with every refresh.

Awesome job! I sometimes see great ideas like this and smack myself. "Why didn't I think of that?!"

I need one every minute.
