Hi HN,I built the first version of Drawize back in late 2016 specifically for a Samsung Tizen OS app contest. I crunched and built the whole thing (including the real-time multiplayer engine) in under 4 weeks.It didn’t win anything in the contest.Since it was built with web tech anyway, I published it on the open web in early 2017 just to see what would happen. It started living its own life, and today — 8 years later — the database processed the 100,000,000th drawing.On the busiest days it’s been 30k+ active users, and storing 100M drawings currently sits at ~3.16 TB.The milestone moment: I was watching live logs today, terrified the 100Mth drawing would be NSFW. Luckily, the RNG gods smile

My Tizen multiplayer drawing game flopped, but then hit 100M drawings is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.

Directory data places it at the Show HN launch stage.
