CarComments is a small website that allows users to comment on license plate numbers. This was a pretty simple project, though it did include certain obstacles I had never encountered before. For instance, I needed a way of preventing users from posting too frequently, for which I employed cookies that expire once the posting delay ends. As well, while iterating through the comments table, I needed a method of grouping comments with the same license plate.
I got the idea for this project from the website Things I Want Made, where the idea was posted. I was under the impression that if I made CarComments and posted it to TIWM, people would use it. If you have visited CarComments, however, you'll immediately notice the large imbalance between actual human-made posts and spam posts. Perhaps I should include a captcha to block these posts and advertise the website to humans a bit more.
