  I've seen at least 3 clones of this exact type of website on the front page in like the past month
  - rajsuper123 3mo ago
    this is not clones. the old Sites are html/php.Different stack, different UX focus — Next.js app vs the older PHP tools. Not trying to replace, just built a simpler, free, ad-free version for people who aren't security researchers.

      Most recent one was vercelslop too https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48062178 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48062178

        i tried to open and Funny enough — that site is throwing an SSL error right now (ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR). Whatever slop is, broken SSL on launch day isn't a great look either way.
        Retr0id 3mo ago
        That's Vercel for you I guess.
        rajsuper123 3mo ago
        More likely a misconfigured custom domain than Vercel itself. Their default *.vercel.app deployments handle SSL automatically. But fair, plenty of half-finished launches out there either way.

  Yeah. Websites like https://amiunique.org https://amiunique.org show more details about your browser.

A yet another pure LLM/"AI" slop... for utterly no reason... that only mocks and ridicules many similar others, including actually human-written years ago... Not to mention: \- amiunique.org/fingerprint; \- coveryourtracks.eff.org; \- pixelscan.net/fingerprint-check; \- browserleaks.com; \- ipleak.net; \- demo.fingerprint.com/playground; \- whoer.net; \- 2ip.io/privacy; \- ... Why do even re-implement the wheel... negating the effort of actual people? Welp, you may live now knowing you've paid to use/mock stolen knowledge and art of now unknown actual developers/artists/people inside these srrowful LLMs, and possibly learned close to nothing prone to forget everything in a few months or weeks...

  Calculators didn't replace mathematicians, they replaced doing arithmetic by hand. Most of the other tools are paid or with ads this is free and no ads

    Most of the other "tools" posted to HN within the past year are near identical to yours because you've not bothered to consider what you're building and why. You've asked an LLM for a weekend project idea and gone with one of the most recurrent suggestions. From that, you've let the LLM generate the same basic web app as every other person who has been equally lazy in approach. I'm sorry to be harsh but submissions like this are the reason HN is a less interesting showcase for personal projects nowadays.

      Sure, My next weekend project is to ask ChatGPT . "Hey buddy build an OS better than Windows, a search engine better than Google, draft the perfect VC pitch, and Make it all go viral." thanks will post the updates

Wait till they find out what information native/installed apps can find out about you.

  To clarify — working on a section that shows what data native/installed apps typically request and collect (permissions, device IDs, etc.), as a companion to what this site already shows for browsers.
