Show HN: Unix-like personal webpage
Repo: https://github.com/TheDen/TheDen.sh (PRs are welcome)
All clientside—mostly js hacks. There are a lot of fun easter eggs—some easy to find, others not so much. I can't really claim it's mobile friendly, though I've tried to not make it too bad of an experience.
edit: the cards are draggable btw, I've added a "move" cursor when the mouse hovers but I don't know if that's enough to make it obvious (but not too "in-your-face" obvious).
This was very different than what I expected. I thought it would be closer to https://hq6.me
My old webpage was trying to emulate my window manager: https://venam.nixers.net/old/
EDIT: I remember it was a trend amongst a close group of friends. Everyone was doing their webpage like their window manager. Too bad I can't find any of those.
This is a bit uncanny since I've been thinking quite a lot about these distortion effects and how to implement them with HTML5, js and css. Would you please enlighten us by giving us some hints on how to achieve the distortions?
Also I am not 100% sure if I think this is completely UNIX like as I expected something more text / terminal based. Are you using monospaced fonts. Not to try to put you down but rather to say you are in the right way but that there might be minute changes in padding and so forth that might land you at perfection!
good job!
It is basically useless on my phone: page (and font) size changes periodically because of that animated ASCII thing at the bottom (and due to the fact that device is vertically oriented), and almost any attempt to zoom things through pinching results in moving two blocks around simultaneously instead.
I was hoping for something more like http://r.dakko.us/klange.7 [0]
Emacs-like :)
very cool! Can you explain how this relates to Unix at all?
It is very cool for using monospace fonts and green-on-black (not RGB green this has more "taste"). How does this relate to Unix programs?
Just a quick nitpick, I would like to see the links expand to their entire <p> parent elements, so the entire box is a clickable link, not just the text inside.
It's more BBS-like, not really Unix.
I want a Unix-like Facebook homepage.
And there I thought this would be an Apache user directory tutorial.
Sad poem :(
very cool
