Show HN: A website for sharing the "Good, Bad, and Why"s of urban spaces

https://dedede.de/en

Hello HN! We're a small team in Kyoto building a website called dédédé (https://dedede.de/en) that invites people to share the various positives, negatives, oddities, etc. they find in urban spaces.

The project grew out of an earlier effort where we'd built an app that assisted participatory urbanism workshops run by local nonprofits. With the new platform, we're trying to build something similar but more casual and hopefully with broader appeal, that'll be fun to use even outside of formal workshop situations.

We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Technical note: I am using FF on Linux, and needed to go to google translate to be able to read the site. The main page [1] loads with images, but when I click through, the images don't load on the detail pages [2].

This is very cool, thanks for sharing it. I'll try to add some entries about Vancouver when I have time.

Thanks, would love to see posts from outside Japan!

OP here - just to let you know the signup form asks for an email address, but we're just using it as the user ID so a non-working address works fine.

EDIT: apart from one minor inconvenience, you won't be able to reset your password if you forget it

Love it, simple sentiment gathering. AI bots are going to love to crawl that one ;)

Oh cool, when I have free time I have many dozens in Japan that I could add.

Incidentally while exploring this site I discovered how much better the highlight and "translate" feature of iOS has gotten!

Thanks kappasan!

Adding automatic translation will make the site more accessible for a broader audience.

I agree that is very true. We'll see if there are free (or very cheap) solutions we could use.

feels a lot like a pattern language! I'd love for your site to catch on in my neck of the woods.
