technical details cuz u guys are all nerds :3

i kinda lied its not really an "app" because it isnt doing the rendering on the 3ds.

its actually a web app. the miiverse app on the 3ds is actually just an applet that embeds a web page.

if uve ever heard of those "miiverse replacement" services like pretendo or rverse what theyre doing is basically just patching the urls the client goes to with their own servers . this is what im doing.

i wrote a server in python that does ssr page rendering, proxying for images and has some routes for favoriting/boosting/etc that the client uses xmlhttprequest with.

writing a website compatible with this things ancient web browser was fun. and i didnt even need to do that many css crimes!! its funny bc in making this i accidentally made a really simple mastodon web app that can run on like. chrome version 3
