If only 4chan had a POST API.

If only! That's where I was hoping to go with this. Instead I just stole /r/4chan's stylesheet and posted to a subreddit.

No need for an official API, just create a post request with the right parameters.

I don't see how that could go wrong at all!

A snapchat-like board could be fun. A board where each image can only be viewed by each user once and only for a short amount of time.

so a snapchat account posts to a subreddit?

I expected an actual imageboard format, but maybe that's the nostalgia speaking

I think you thought that because it ends with chan. A name like SnapLeReddit may be much more appropriate, considering that all other chans that I've seen use the imageboard format, and don't just link to a subreddit.

This guy demoed the hack at hackNY. Really well done. I think he's also the same guy who hacked vine too.
