    For those who don't know just discovered you can change your theme!

    Ctrl + O -> Move down to your theme. Helps with the default one being a bit chaotic

    Thanks for whoever made this. This is rad and gives me hope for the old internet vibes.

    I loved the text contrast on the landing page. Grey text on a dark background.

    Pay no need to other comments over here, this is awesome. I showed this to my co-workers, they all love it.

    Design is illegible. Needs more contrast between text and background. I'm not even vision impaired and I was squinting immediately.

      Even 15 years ago this was such a big problem that someone tried to start a rebellion: https://contrastrebellion.com/

      So much modern GUI design is really poor for those a bit older where contrast is important.

      The accessibility checker in Chrome/Firefox devtools would immediately flag this.

        Hmm maybe the tool has but the design of the website made me squint as well.

          Me, too. For me, it was easier without the DarkReader plugin enabled than with it (which is kind of common), but it wasn't great to see either way.

      I'm, by contrast, an able bodied person with functioning eyes and had no issues.

        You might not have the average display.

        But, can you reason more about your intent with the tone of your comment?

    Nice! I was just thinking about how much I love installing binaries instead of going to a website

    why not just use irc?

      can you listen to music, play sudoku/nanograms/tetris, do live artboard, jump into NetHack/DCSS/dopewars/LOGD insdie IRC?

    Ever see something new, and just know it’s going to survive?

    Your site copy is great to the last drop.

    Great submission.

      > Your site copy is great to the last drop.

      It is? It’s just the usual LLM.

      • DANmode 2 hours ago
        The design = “flavor of the week LLM”,

        but someone still has to proof and tweak generated copy.

        Someone cared about this page.

        • notpushkin 51 minutes ago
          No X. No Y. A is your B.

          We do G, not H. C, D, E — plus an optional F.

          No I, no J, no K — just an L into a W.

          I would say the design is the most human thing about this page. (It has its charm somehow, even if it’s obviously “flavour of the week LLM design”. Also, I don’t think an LLM would choose colours so poorly unless nudged in that direction – accidentally, I suppose.)

        • tkel 30 minutes ago
          There's maybe 100 words on the page. It would have taken someone 5 minutes to type that out. But apparently the creator didn't even care enough to do that.
        • tkel 50 minutes ago
          You might be projecting . All the docs in the app looks like the usual wall-of-text that was autogenerated .
        • sevg 1 hour ago
          Yeah, no. Not enough to make the page not look and sound like straight from an LLM.
          • ga_to 51 minutes ago
            Also not enough to make the text even a slight bit more readable. I have perfect eyes and am still struggling to focus on the headlines.

    And... Cue 1M dummies here running that code without even looking at it, SMH.
    • 1dom 1 minute ago
      It's possible to login and interact and use late.sh with just your SSH client - there's no need to download or run custom code. But you that did make me realise that they don't have a github link on that page anywhere.

      Your tone in this comment is a bit out of place on HN. Why are you here if you think it's 1M dummies?

    • jauntywundrkind 1 hour ago
      i had a quite good experience generating a key/username on my local machine and ssh'ing in.

      lot of vitriol in the comments. looks like a spectacularly put together BBS, to me. the tools are open-source and have some really fun looking value add, but no, i haven't ran them.

    A CLI tool that's not grep-able is a GUI disguised as TUI.
    • pmarreck 1 hour ago
      Did it ever claim it was a CLI?
      • jrflowers 1 hour ago
        Under every link to download the CLI. The ones hosted on the cli subdomain
