A minimalist (brutalist?) website for sharing all your links

Do you remember the internet of the early 2000s? Neat single function websites that let you be creative and customize your spaces and weren't setting out to be the next major conglomerate (or to be bought by them). I'm building a series of websites that have simple concepts but too many of the players have tried to make their product so big. I also used to live in a very rural area so my goal is to make websites that load fast even on very slow internet. I'm starting with Lynx.boo. A linktree style website that lets you fully customize your CSS (and adds a bunch of classes to your links to…

In plain words

Lynx.boo is a link-sharing website designed for minimal, fast-loading pages with full CSS customization. Users can create personalized link collections without paying subscription fees, styling their pages with unrestricted CSS and HTML. Built for anyone who values simplicity and creative control over feature bloat, the service prioritizes performance on slow internet connections and captures the stripped-down aesthetic of early 2000s web design.

    Hi HN, I’m Aswin, founder of Bullet. We’ve been building Bullet AI for a while, and it’s finally ready. It lets you take any Notion page and instantly turn it into a fully styled website(portfolio, blog, knowledge base, or landing page) with just prompts. A few things you can do with it: Style individual blocks or your whole page in seconds Upload a screenshot or describe a design, and AI matches it Fine-tune every detail with Design Mode if you want full control Would love to hear what you think!!

    I mixed selling t-shirts with a little bit of game theory2012 · getnifty.com · ▲171

    I had this idea rolling around in my head for the last couple of years, and I finally decided to build the damned thing just to get idea relief. The backend is a typical LAMP stack with the Symfony2 framework backing the P. Varnish sits in front of all the Chef managed Linode boxes. The site will work without Javascript (up until the checkout), and the style degrades really nicely depending on your viewport (try it out by resizing your browser). I'm open to all comments and critiques, so let me hear them. And if you are into graphic t-shirts, here is a code for a Hacker News 20% discount:…

    Fast way to build digital presence across multiple platforms2022 · leansence.com · ▲39

    Hello, I am a tech blogger and last year I wanted to have my own website for writing blogs and doing content marketing. Since I love programming, I could have built the site by myself but I wanted to test the no-code solutions, so after spending sometime researching I ended up going with Wordpress. However i found it tedious and for some reasons, hard and slow. Anyways, I tried other platforms like Wix too. Problem then came was I had to share my work on social media platforms to get more readers and also post it on hashnode and Medium. It was becoming time consuming and monotonous process.…

  • Lovable▲1,477

    Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here. We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change. The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains. Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0,…

    I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
