Pxxl App – A Nigerian Alternative to Vercel, Render, and Netlify
Hi HN, I built Pxxl App — a free web hosting and deployment platform for developers in Nigeria and beyond. It’s a Nigerian alternative to Vercel, Render, and Netlify, designed for those who want a simple, fast, and barrier-free way to host both frontend and backend apps. With Pxxl App, you can connect your Git repo and deploy in seconds — no credit card, no limits. You’ll get a live subdomain like yourapp.pxxl.pro, automatic builds, and continuous deployment. It supports: • Frontend frameworks: React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, and more • Backend projects: Node.js, PHP, and Python • Features like…

In the maker’s words, at launch

It supports: • Frontend frameworks: React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, and more • Backend projects: Node.js, PHP, and Python • Features like environment variables, CI/CD, and instant rollback The goal is to make cloud deployment accessible to African and global developers without the typical payment or region restrictions. It’s completely free to start, and I’d love to hear feedback from the HN community on how to improve it or what features you’d want next. Check it out: https://pxxl.app

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it.
