    Originally started as a project to restore patterns from now defunct website 808.pixll.de just for myself, but eventually i decided to share it with others. I've seen this website mentioned a couple of times on HN:) Currently it only supports Roland TR-808, but there will be more.

    I heard you like vibe coding so I vibe coded a site where you can vibe code sites. I had non-technical relatives who needed a really simple website. I could have built it for them in a couple of hours, but instead I spent a few more hours to solve the more general problem. They want to talk to a technical person to create and make basic updates to a simple landing page. I know v0, loveable, replit etc all exist, but they still have a learning curve, and then hosting gets expensive. This way they can download the site as a single HTML file and upload it to their oldschool ISP webhosting…

    Hello HN, sharing my weekend project. I'm a fan of retro GUIs and fan of HN, so I built an alternative HN front end that resembles a Window XP desktop with an old Outlook email client.

    I like to use org files a lot, but I wanted some way to browse and edit them on my phone when I'm out. Yesterday I used Codex to make this simple one-file web server that just displays all my org files with backlinks. It doesn't have any authentication because I only run it on my wireguard VPN. I've been having fun with it, hopefully it's useful to someone else!
