Show HN: Pumpkins.sh – claim, carve, and display a pumpkin to the world

from the show-hn dept.

What if....there was a near infinite pumpkin patch where anyone can claim and carve a pumpkin then show-case it to the world?

Here are 1 million pumpkins. Pick one. Make it your own.

Have a VR headset? Put it on and explore the patch.

It's cool you traveled to Georgia (live here)! How did you like it?

Almost forgot, the idea is great and impl has quite impressive performance (including map mode)

Loved it. Been there multiple times since. Probably spent a year total in Tbilisi. One of my fav places on earth.

Neat! might I suggest some occlusion for lit pumpkins? Drawing all those blooms is going to get rough.

Lots of fun and I can definitely see it growing a lot, it would be great if you could search for a pumpkin name and it would take you to it. Great work on this.

The whole idea of claiming and carving is pretty fun. I liked being able to explore the pumpkin patch instead of just looking at a normal website. Sometimes I wasn't really sure where to go next after claiming my pumpkin though.

thanks for sharing this - really fun and much better than the boring vertical scroll that is 99% of the internet nowadays

Yes pumpkins are shareable, there should be a share button. Thank you, I’m glad you like it.
