Guestbook docs

An old-web guestbook with a tiny pixel doodle pad, where every entry waits for the owner's OK.

These pages explain the guestbook the way I'd explain it to a friend: what the boxes are for, how the doodle pad works, and what happens after you sign. If you're here to sign it, "Signing the guestbook" is all you need. The other pages are for whoever runs a guestbook, which is me on stuffs, or you if you want one on your own site.

Signing

Running one

  • Letting entries in — the message you get for each entry, and Let it in, Hide it and Delete it
  • Your own guestbook — putting it on your own site, with the server, Caddy and the messages

Under the hood

  • Developing — the files, every rule the server checks, and running it on your computer

Something wrong, or missing?

If something doesn't work the way these pages say, or you'd like the guestbook to do something it doesn't, open an issue on the GitHub repo and say what you did and what happened. A screenshot helps a lot.
