Show HN: 10 year challenge with browser history back button
- tomschwiha 8y agoJust some fun website inspired by the 10 year challenge. Source-Code is available on github https://github.com/tomschwiha/web-archive https://github.com/tomschwiha/web-archive
- yholio 8y agoMy experience on Android is that it makes the actual back button on the phone to no longer respond.
- tomschwiha 8y agoYou have to tap 19 times (years 2000 - 2019) (+the amount of pages you visited) the back button to come actually back.
- JeremyBanks 8y agoClever but annoying to have clicked on.
- nchudleigh 8y agoYeah agreed, would have saved me a minute if you had built an escape hatch
- ninefoxgambit 8y agopretty cool. Looked up the static site I built for my mums bookkeeping business over 10 years ago. Solid history. That site just kept on going, no maintenance, no hosting fees.
- wodenokoto 8y agoIs this some joke about breaking the back button?
- tomschwiha 8y agoActually it might. It pushes the years 2000 to 2019 via the History API into the browser history.
- joshstrange 8y agoHijacking the history API for no good reason is a bad idea.
