Facebook “Meh” Button : JavaScript

Inspired by a BoingBoing article proposing a "Meh" button as an alternative to Facebook's "Like," PubNub developers created a real-time "Meh" button that can be used alongside the "Like" button or independently. The button updates instantly on all users' screens, showcasing how many people feel indifferent without needing to reload the page, and was developed using PubNub's API, which supports real-time functionality across all devices. Although the button concept stemmed from the idea of providing a visual for apathy, it holds no official association with Facebook, and the developers invite suggestions for alternative icons, offering to update the widget based on user input. Additionally, a feature allows limiting clicks per person to prevent skewed results, ensuring fairness in the representation of indifference.
