GET Together: Social Network Without Posts

Hacker News •
×

GET Together is a social network where posting requires no traditional POST requests. Users create posts via GET requests to /post?name=alice&text=hello. Names allow 2-20 letters, numbers, or underscores but aren't verified.

Cookies are optional for posting; delete posts by keeping the gt_session cookie and resending it. For safe retries, include a custom UUID and reuse it with the same cookie. Endpoints include /feed for JSON posts, /heart?id=…&on=1 for liking, and /delete?id=… for removal.

Replies work by adding parent=POST_ID to /post, with nested threads via /feed?parent=POST_ID. Moderation checks for profanity and crypto content, blocking Bitcoin, memecoins, and token promotion. Violations are hidden after automated review; reporting alone doesn't remove posts.

Privacy: posts are public with text in the URL—avoid private data. Error codes: 400 for invalid input, 403 for unauthorized access, 429 for rate limiting (retry after 10 seconds).
