About God Save Our Ping
A website for me and my friends.
God Save Our Ping is a small website I run off a computer at my house. It started as a personal project and turned into a place where my friends post stuff, upload files and make their own pages.
The front page is the main feed, where everyone's posts show up. If you want something more your own, make a minipage. You can post pretty much anything, as long as it follows the rules.

What you can do
Posts
Write a post and put it on the feed, or save it as a draft for later. You can attach a file to a post too. New posts show up without having to refresh.
Post something »
Uploads
Upload pictures, music, videos or documents. Pictures show up right in the feed and audio and video play in the browser. Anyone can download the original file.
Upload something »
Minipages
Make your own page with HTML and CSS and publish it when it's done. It can look however you want, it doesn't have to match the rest of the site.

Your profile
Set a display name, bio and avatar. You can also customise your profile with HTML and CSS. Once you publish it, it shows up in the member list.

Getting started
- Look around. You don't need an account to read the feed, profiles or minipages.
- Sign up. Make an account (or log in) to post, upload and make pages.
- Manage your stuff. Your posts, uploads, minipages, profile and drafts are all on your account page.
Please read the rules and privacy info before posting. If something's broken, tell me on the Discord.
The home server
The whole site runs on one computer at my house, using Apache, PHP and MariaDB. Everything you upload is stored on that computer too.
Since it's a normal home computer on a normal home internet connection, the site will sometimes go down for updates, power cuts or internet problems. The server status page shows if the database and storage are working.
The machine
No hardware info saved right now. Check the status page if you want to know if things are working.

FAQ
- Do I need to know HTML?
- Nope. You only need it for minipages or if you want a custom profile. Posting and uploading is just normal typing.
- Is everything I make public straight away?
- No, you can save posts, minipages and your profile as drafts, and uploads can be kept unpublished too. Once something's published anyone can see it. You can change that any time from your account.
- Can a minipage run JavaScript?
- No. It gets stripped out, so nobody's page can run scripts on someone else's computer.
- What if something breaks?
- Check the server status page, or tell me on the Discord. For copyright or privacy stuff, the email is on the legal page.
