    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 4 hours ago |
        The design = “flavor of the week LLM”,

        but someone still has to proof and tweak generated copy.

        Someone cared about this page.

        • sevg 3 hours ago |
          Yeah, no. Not enough to make the page not look and sound like straight from an LLM.

            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.

          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.)

          You might be projecting . All the docs in the app looks like the usual wall-of-text that was autogenerated .
        • tkel 2 hours 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.

            See thats the difference, i don't core personally. Its a page to tell you to connect to the ssh server (or install their script). Why does it have to be a philosophical masterpiece? Its just word on a page saying click here, better looking then the majority of the SEO garbage that has plagued the internet for the last 15 year thanks to google and friends.

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

        You might not have the average display.

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

      there are many many themes. some high contrast ones

        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.

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

      Vibe coded slop has the same patterns of black-on-black and grey-on-grey illegible text. Mix that with piss poor monospace, small-size fonts and you have to squint to read each letter

      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.

    • 1dom an hour 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?

      • TurdF3rguson 14 minutes ago |
        The people why ran that line without knowing what it does are dummies. And yes maybe not 1M but there were a lot of them.

      Yeah, it is a very nice way of saying “f off” if you’re poor, whatever with your display (low res mobile) or eyesight.

    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.

    This is a really cool idea, and very appealing. Also very nice that it looks usable with just an SSH client. It would be useful if it was explained what the companion client is for?

    Another small personal gripe: I think you should either remove the 1 line copy/paste sh install on the homepage, or add a link to a git repo on the homepage. I know it's possible to view the sh by visiting it, but a raw text file doesn't give any info about contributors or development process. Current form of no git repo and copy/paste bash pipe on homepage feels like a dark pattern.

      Not to mention that a webserver can be configured to show one sh file when a regular browser visits and another when curl etc. gets it. Show one thing, install another.
