alright, I implemented a world boing counter :-) thanks for the great idea

Nice, could you share how you implemented it?

Flask + SQLite in WAL mode.

In-memory ip address rate limiting.

Hosted and deployed on a ~$20 EC2 server using the open source tool I've been working on, https://disco.cloud/

We were at ~120 requests/second earlier and it took it on, no sweat.

May be worth sending your boings in batches!

Amazing! The numbers are insane already! What is the average boing per user?

Ooh, great question! I don’t record IPs so can’t say unfortunately.

I can say I boinged 39 times

maybe also de-boing the boining now that it's calling the server. i think the js script pasted here will show you it's needed

there's rate limiting so the script posted in this thread actually mostly hits 429s :-) but yeah, great pointer
