Welcome, nonsenser!

What is this?

Technically, this is just a SvelteKit web app hosted on Netlify that displays nonsense stored on Supabase.

Some context...

It all started from a Discord server that I joined named "The Nonsense Galaxy" (now Artiverse), where there was a dedicated #nonsense channel. People could just put whatever in there and the best ones would be included in the server's bot to be displayed once at random with the r!nonsense command.

Unfortunately, as time goes on (4 years ago!), The Nonsense Galaxy is no more. The original nonsense database that's used by the bot has been lost to time, but that doesn't mean nonsense have to die. #NonsenseNeverDie.

That's not the only place where nonsense is made, other Discord servers that I've joined such as MediaPlay Discord and BlueCube Discord (now Cube Central) have some nonsense.

There were definitely more variety in MPD (especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, pretty much being chronically online) along with the spinoff RandomnessPlay Discord, all of which got archived there...or at least remembered there before randomness was no more in the main server.

I guess the only "active" place for nonsense that still remain is the #💠-nonsense channel in BCD (now CC). It's pretty much the spiritual continuation of The Nonsense Galaxy.

DON'T USE PROPRIETARY SERVICES FOR YOUR NONSENSE.

...and that's what I did by making this very web app that's open-source, at least.

Although, technically, it's still hosted on proprietary services (GitHub and Netlify, and maybe Cloudflare), but at least the code and the database are open-source. For now, I just want to get everything working while I add more features.

This idea isn't new, but it stuck on my mind for years after not having a "proper" place anymore for nonsense. Maybe nonsense could revive this year.
