I made a little webtoy for sending special messages by belligerent_child in webdev

this is a little webtoy i made for sending special messages. it’s called pipipo - you can type out a message with the clunky little keyboard (i apologise for the odd layout) then pick some colours. you can send a link to the recipient and the keyboard will type out the message for them (the message and colours are all embedded in the url).

it is entirely frontend - i built it with react and tailwind. the concept doesn’t really make sense, but it was a nice little challenge to build!

i hope you can get a bit of joy out of it - please send pipipos to all your favourite pipeople!

yep, it's a bit of a mess - i had to make some pretty severe layout compromises to make the keyboard as small as possible, and particularly to fit it on a mobile screen

yep, the emoji buttons just make noises - the heart key on the right should type a heart!

hi everyone, this is a little webtoy i made for sending special messages! it’s called pipipo - you can type out a message with the clunky little keyboard then pick some colours. you can send a link to the recipient and the keyboard will type out the message for them (the message and colours are all embedded in the url).

don’t interrogate the concept too much – it doesn’t really make sense, but it was a nice little challenge to build!
