A website coding itself live
- humble_engineer 7y agoThis isn't a website coding itself its a routine of CSS animations and javascript.
- pflenker 7y agoThat is very impressive self-advertisement. I watched the whole thing.
- jacob019 7y agoCame here to post my favorite part: "At this time, I am busy. I am happy to entertain proposals for later work but immediate availability is scarce."
- thunderbong 7y agoThis is really well done! Kudos!
- zawerf 7y agoHere's the guy he said he got inspiration from: https://jakealbaugh.com/ https://jakealbaugh.com/ I think if liked those you would also like: http://acko.net/ http://acko.net/ http://worrydream.com http://worrydream.com
- egfx 7y agoyeah, acko.net is awesome. I remember seeing it the first time a few years ago and being blown away by the intro.
- maxmcd 7y agoyeah, 2013: http://acko.net/blog/zero-to-sixty-in-one-second/ http://acko.net/blog/zero-to-sixty-in-one-second/ just absolutely blew my mind as well this talk by the same author is also great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkx1aKv2z8o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkx1aKv2z8o
- tholman 7y agoThe inspiration in particular is this demo, if you want to see how it's all working. - https://codepen.io/jakealbaugh/pen/PwLXXP https://codepen.io/jakealbaugh/pen/PwLXXP
- mg 7y agoSlightly related - a website that displays it's own source code: https://no-gravity.github.io/html-quine/index.html https://no-gravity.github.io/html-quine/index.html
- LeonB 7y ago....inspired by https://github.com/secretGeek/html_wysiwyg https://github.com/secretGeek/html_wysiwyg -- thanks!
- soulofmischief 7y agoNice. Here's another: https://secretgeek.github.io/html_wysiwyg/html.html https://secretgeek.github.io/html_wysiwyg/html.html
- fragmede 7y agoFor the curious, this is called a quine, and it's a fun challenge in every language, to write on. http://www.madore.org/~david/computers/quine.html http://www.madore.org/~david/computers/quine.html
- malydok 7y agoThe trick here I didn't know about is that a `<style>` element's default `display` is `none` and you can show its contents by changing that.
- sflanagan 7y agoWatched the whole thing - very cool.
- RyanAF7 7y agoTotally cool, thanks for building.
- diggan 7y agoI thought it was gonna be like an experiment I did a while ago, a webapp that can edit and deploy itself. Ended up with prototype[0] but would love to see the possibilities in a more polished version, and thought this submission was it! - [0] https://github.com/victorb/self-editing-website https://github.com/victorb/self-editing-website
- toastal 7y agoWhy is the transition property prefixed with - webkit- only? Immediately this starts off on an incompatible, vendor-locked foot. Edit: seems all of the properties are Webkit- prefixed. :/
- lol768 7y agoIt seems to use the prefix for the browser you're visiting the site in (I see -moz- properties). Fine, but I'm not convinced the prefixes were required at all for quite a few of the properties.
- STRML 7y agoIt's legacy. This dates back to April 2015 when there were still some reasons to use prefixed properties. Rather than list all of them in css - which would have been ugly - I choose the one useful to your browser.
- larrysalibra 7y agoWhat's even more impressive than Sam's web site (which has been online for years) is that he and his two Hong Kong-based co-founders bootstrapped Bitmex, a multi-billion dollar company that handled over US$1 trillion of trading volume over the past year with almost no investment. When they launched in 2014, no one on HN cared! 2 points and 1 sarcastic comment. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8750453 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8750453
