Geocities-inspired Guestbook

A modern take on the classic Geocities guestbook, built with PHP and SQLite. This guestbook allows for multi-user functionality, user-specific themes, and adheres to current coding standards.

Features

• Multi-user Support: Each user can have their own guestbook by simply accessing https://tilde.club/guestbook/?user=username.
• Custom Themes: Users can specify their own CSS theme by placing a .css file in their directory and specifying it with the theme parameter in the URL.
• Referrer Validation: The guestbook checks the referrer to ensure that entries are being made from the correct user's page.
• SQLite Backend: Uses SQLite for a lightweight and serverless database solution.

Customization

Themes

Users can specify their own theme by placing a .css file in their directory. This theme can be applied by adding the theme parameter to the URL, e.g., https://tilde.club/guestbook/?user=username&theme=cssname.

A default dark.css theme is provided in the repository as an example.

Adding Entries

User need to link to the guestbook from their tilde page to https://tilde.club/guestbook/?user=username or https://tilde.club/guestbook/?user=username&theme=themecssname and then your viewers can simply fill out the form on your guestbook page and submit.
