   Thanks for your feedback, I just thought about the timezones last night. I will pass the client's date while fetching the artwork of the day so that everyone get the full 24h lapse. For the read only archives, I can see from the commen

   Thanks Maxime! I was looking for a new way to discuss art. There are a couple of nice subreddits to discover new art but I found the discussions that went with them a bit disappointing. So with Peerdiem, I'd like people to take their t

   I was not aware of the term used in that context. I just recently heard it in an episode of The Office when they fly to Winnipeg and it caught my ear. I might move the platform to a subdomain like art.peerdiem.com at some stages. Thanks for

    Do you get the same "No painting found for today" error as well? I'm fetching the artwork + metadata myself in advance to avoid any throttling on the API. I don't see any error on that endpoint in my logs, this is strang

    Thank you for making it your browser startpage, that's flattering! Regarding the previous discussions, for now I'd like to try having only the artwork and the discussion for the current day. It goes against what most content platf

    Also Viber that used to be the main contender of WhatsApp in Western Europe up until a couple of years ago. I believe it's still beating WhatsApp on market share in a couple of markets like Israel iirc.
