24 alternatives to httpclock. A useless way to tell the time with HTTP status codes…
I made this a few months back as a fun little project and it has absolutely no utility whatsoever. The server returns the current time in the request's status code — i.e., as long as the time can be mapped to a valid HTTP status code (e.g., 4:04pm -> 404 Not found) the server returns that status code for the request. Example: https://x.com/scottinallcaps/status/1827211120194486597 The httpclock.com domain detects timezone by IP and redirects to the respective subdomain such as pt.httpclock.com (but will fall back to UTC) A browser will show a blank page for most of…

I figured this might be useful to folks. It's a simple PHP server that requires a single-table database (It's fairly "agnostic," but all my uses are in MySQL). I won't publish any of the servers that I've set up for my apps, because someone is bound to write an application that drives my bandwidth into the stratosphere. I could definitely take it further, but this gives me all I need for my purposes. Here's an app I wrote, that uses it: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/we-are-never-alone/id650482602...

I recently wanted to test how a part of a web app responded to a 502 HTTP status code from a remote site from which it was pulling data. When I came to test it, the remote site was working fine, but I still wanted the 502. So I created statuscoder, just append your desired status code to the URL and it'll respond with that code. http://statuscoder.com It's my first single-use project and I like its simplicity - it does one job and (hopefully) does it well. Is there anything else that you'd want to see it do?

Hey HN. I made a micro site one recent evening to see upcoming (and recent past) timezone transitions. At my job, we have some timezone specific code where we often see spikes in metrics due to random timezone shifts around the world. Just for fun, I wanted a way to easily see where and what this timezone shift might have been, so built this mini site to do so. Its fully clientside and works by making use of the Internationalization API, so if you need an API for this you're coming to the wrong place, but feel free to yoink the code. Its just one fat index.html file. Served off my VPS via…
