HN: List of April Fools' Day Announcements (2017)
Its that time of year again. When everyone starts releasing their fake product announcements a day (or two) early to try and fool us.
Instead of cluttering up the front page, let's just post them in here instead. One thread where each top-level comment is just a title and a link.

- bananicorn 10y agoHonestly, I think this is one of the funnier ones - and I really need to check if the basic functionality provided in their example has been done with CSS, just for a static list of people. I could imagine something like that would work with a shitton of CSS, if the pseudo selector for he value attribute works when inserting text into an input field.
