Its mostly mobile based, but you can see some of the things people are posting in the all posts section.

tadzik• 14 years ago

Awesome.

jontonsoup8• 14 years ago

Thanks! :)

voodoochilo• 14 years ago

very nice. laughed my ass off.

waxjar• 14 years ago

Haha, awesome. Landing page needs a little unbootstrapping, imo. Concept is great!

finleymedia• 14 years ago

There is already a site like this: twitter.

stcredzero• 14 years ago

I was expecting another programming language.

jontonsoup8• 14 years ago

thanks I'll take a look!

anteater• 14 years ago

Nice. Why did you make it QR-code based instead of location-based with GPS?

andrewljohnson• 14 years ago

GPS does not work inside, particularly down to stall in a bathroom precision.

jontonsoup8• 14 years ago

people don't like to give GPS to a random toilet application lol

MehdiEG• 14 years ago

iPoo (http://www.ipoonow.com/) meet QR codes. Nice.

aeeeee• 14 years ago

I think this may be the first practical use of QR codes that I've seen, nice!

OK, if british public toilets are anything to go by it is only a matter of time before this is primarily used by cottagers and gay prostitutes.

jontonsoup8• 14 years ago

We haven't seen any evidence of "misuse" on the platform yet. But we only have done a small amount of testing.

colbycornish3• 14 years ago

HOLY SHIT THIS IS WONDERFUL

billpatrianakos• 14 years ago

There is so much to love about this. It takes writing on the stall wall to the 21st century. It seems like an indictment of asinine status updates. It has great use of double entendras (spelling?): "Start the movement"! "Plop! The rest is history". And it totally speaks to the 12 year old boy that lives inside me.

I really love how you took something hilarious and immature but still made it smart and somehow witty.

jontonsoup8• 14 years ago

Thanks. We also made a video that you will probably like.

This is so damn great. MUST ORDER THEM ALL.

tehwebguy• 14 years ago

This is very cool.

Since you're asking for feedback, here's mine: Definitely add GPS as an option.

Maybe you can hook into Google Places or Foursquare to find the location or address. You can narrow it down to individual stalls if you want to give the user the option.

I know there are a lot of good reasons not to use GPS here, but it seems like having it as an option would definitely help so that people can get involved by just using the app.

jontonsoup8• 14 years ago

Thanks! I'm definitely planning on adding gps as an option so people don't need stickers to post on a stall.

dredmorbius• 14 years ago

The part of your personal project that I might be vaguely interested in is "what can it do for me?". The fact that it's yours, personal, latest, or that you want to know what I think aren't particularly compelling.

Use a better headline next time.

And ... answering your question having visited the page: not much.

Produce• 14 years ago

Dumbest thing I've seen all month.

sakopov• 14 years ago

Finally something to do while you're dropping a deuce (other than reading HN, of course). I don't know about a great idea, but it is a humorous one indeed. :)

jvehent• 14 years ago

"Our team has a combined 25 years of programming experience"

Irrelevant, and wrong.

Take 100 people, teach them CS for 3 months, you get 25 years of programming experience. But I wouldn't want to have anything to do with their code.

jontonsoup8• 14 years ago

Its a poop joke... lighten up.

burlburrbrian• 14 years ago

Can you flag certain codes as not actually being a toilet stall? I may want to post one of these codes in the damp corners of a CTA train car (and other stinky locations).

colbycornish3• 14 years ago

We don't necessarily have "flagging" but we have enabled a crowd-sourced "Tell Us Where This Stall Is" feature (with optional GPS tagging). However, the whole premise is based around being a mobile forum...so there's really no reason why you couldn't 'dump' it into some dark, damp, corners of a train car...(just keep in mind that all the in app language is tailored for poop jokes!)

wallawe• 14 years ago

Very nice, despite the ridiculousness of the idea, it could potentially work. The landing page needs some work though for sure. Is there an email I could reach one of you guys at?

colbycornish3• 14 years ago

Yeah! Shoot us an e-mail at either vladamirpoopin@stalltalk.info or andersonpooper@stalltalk.info We'd love to hear from ya!

AznHisoka• 14 years ago

People have such poor toilet habits.

We need to focus while taking a dump instead of poking on our mobile phones, or reading.

We need to squat rather than sit.

We need to relax rather than strain.

RockyMcNuts• 14 years ago

not useless enough.

slap a QR code on anything, document it, annotate it, discuss it.

for sure you can come up with a rev model... if people are in there too long offer Ducolax... other context-based offers and ads... let people report when stuff needs servicing
