Hey all :) creator here (and yes, you can reach me at linus@heyyyyyyyyyyyy.com).
Was talking with a friend last night and I bought this domain on a whim because I thought it would be funny. And then spent a couple hours making this landing page and it's since turned into this elaborate joke. Hope it added something to your day~ haha
- read_if_gay_ 6y agoI actually love this type of design. Did you have any inspirations? Any frameworks used?
- thesephist 6y agoHey, thanks! I used a CSS library [0] I wrote myself last year that I use for a bunch of other projects of mine, most famously lyrics.rip [1] and free.linus.zone (my free-busy calendar I wrote myself) [2]. It gives the site the "faux-3D" aesthetic. [0] https://thesephist.github.io/blocks.css/ https://thesephist.github.io/blocks.css/ [1] https://www.lyrics.rip https://www.lyrics.rip [2] https://thesephist.com/posts/frieden/ https://thesephist.com/posts/frieden/
- read_if_gay_ 6y agoThat's a really cool framework. Good job and thanks for sharing.
- packetlost 6y agoI love the design! I might end up using it on some of my own projects!
- LordAtlas 6y agoIf I may make a suggestion, redirect the Rickroll link through a "/reserve" link on your site so it's not immediately obvious on mouse hover.
- ric2b 6y agoThat's against the spirit of rickroll, you're supposed to fool the person into clicking it without elaborate tricks, just a link.
- Nightshaxx 6y agoDarn, you spoiled it for me! I clicked anyways just to check :)
- jokab 6y agoI clicked all three buttons and enjoyed the song 3 times. I dont care
- ralphstodomingo 6y agoI saw on hover where it would lead to, but I clicked anyway because the site deserved it. I listened to the whole song.
- OzzyB 6y agoHow can you not listen to the whole song, that's the point, it's awesome xD
- tambourine_man 6y agoThe song is awesome, but the clip is cringy as can be. From the awkward dancing, nonsensical acrobating and sunglassing to Rick himself. Even though the song's got a good beat, he can't seem to move to it no matter how hard the editor tries to cut or how cool he tries to look. And I'm always surprised by such a deep voice coming from such a skimpy guy, which contributes to the joke.
- notamy 6y agoI prefer this version of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQoA_wjmE9w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQoA_wjmE9w
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoHow do you remember how many Y's to use? Or did you just register all the in-between ones as well :p
- wodenokoto 6y agoIt’s easy to remember: $100 per Y, equals $1200 a year. With a price like that you never forget how many Y’s you are buying!
- headmelted 6y agoI tried to sign up like a gullible fool! :-) I like it, but my very scientific algorithms I have developed with the use of science suggest it needs 479% more Arthur Fonzarelli on the home page to achieve legendary status.
- Mengkudulangsat 6y agoAw, you missed a great opportunity! I would've loved a "Hey Hey Heyyyyyyyyyyyy.com" [1] [1]https://youtu.be/Zw6T4Db7_7o?t=29 https://youtu.be/Zw6T4Db7_7o?t=29
- system2 6y agoI really appreciate the time put into this. Thanks for sharing.
- giancarlostoro 6y agoI was hoping the YouTube link was to the He-Man Heya video instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ5LpwO-An4&t=10s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ5LpwO-An4&t=10s
- brian_herman__ 6y agoYes I love this video!
- acdw 6y agoThe full version is much better! I didn't realize there was a whole thing until a while after I saw the link you gave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32FB-gYr49Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32FB-gYr49Y
- giancarlostoro 6y agoHonestly I've listened to it for years, I had no idea there was a longer version... That's awesome, thanks for sharing.
- sn0wtrooper 6y agoBitconeeeeeeeeeeeee
- diehunde 6y agoHEY HEY HEY! ITS FAT ALBERT!!!
- yxhuvud 6y agoOh, so it was your name. I was starting to wonder if my browser leaks my logged in username somehow.
- wodenokoto 6y agoSomehow I think the joke would be more fun if you dropped the unrealistic perks and actually sold it for $1200 a year.
- cdubzzz 6y agoAbsolutely. This could be another Million Dollar Homepage idea.
- geocrasher 6y agoI actually didn't realize it was a joke until reading the HN thread lol. I like it!
- wodenokoto 6y ago> Interested? Reach out to hey@heyyyyyyyyyyyy.com to start our hand-crafted, three-month-long, white-glove onboarding process which comes with a complementary bottle of champagne, a traditional mud massage, a door handle from a vintage Rolls-Royce Phantom, a portrait of a dead European royalty framed in gold, Leonardo Da Vinci's left thumb, and of course, your very own heyyyyyyyyyyyy.com email. I feel like if you read that part, it is pretty obvious that this thing isn't real.
- _1100 6y agoA man can dream...
- dhagz 6y agoRight? There's only so many Phantoms out there.
- geocrasher 6y agoOh I definitely realized it was over the top but didn't realize it was a joke.
- r-w 6y ago
- makach 6y agoI love this. I finally managed to trick my ultra suspicious friend. We have an informal contest where we send eachother to *that destination.
- lawik 6y agoI was entertained until I clicked a link and awoke my baby in the next room with sudden audio. Trying to get back into the YouTube app to stop Premium background audio playback was .. hectic. Site seemed slightly entertaining, baby is awake, I'm not currently amused ;)
- ulfw 6y agoYou must have been really bored ;)
- hitpointdrew 6y agoWas expecting a redirect to Hoooooooooooo.com....but the site I was thinking of is https://heeeeeeeey.com/ https://heeeeeeeey.com/
- circa 6y agothank you! I LOL'd when I saw it :)
