Show HN: Randomneo.city – Browse Neocities at Random

hardwaresofton 4y ago
Hey HN, I built randomneo.city since people didn't like my comment on the randomgeo.city post[0]. Clearly I don't take downvotes well. That said, the code is powered by SvelteKit, SQLite and open source: https://gitlab.com/mrman/randomneocity https://gitlab.com/mrman/randomneocity I have to say, I'm really starting to like building everything with SvelteKit -- I'm a huge 3-tier architecture fan, and it just doesn't make sense these days to add an API repo for most small projects now. Node + TS + SvelteKit does most (to be fair, so would Nuxt or Next). It's been a fantastically productive stack for me. Things I still need to do: - Add automatic scraping of neocities' sites so the site can stay up to date - Filter out sites which aren't done (they all have the same text) - Add chat/social features (???) This was also a great chance to try out Just[1] which strives to replace make[2] -- it's been nice! In classic distracted style I use just[3], make with good defaults[4][5] and my usual flavor of makefile[6][7] in the repo.
