Show HN: I built an app to get daily wisdom from Mr. Worldwide
Pitbull is coming to Stockholm. As a part of that prep, I built an app with glassmorphism style counting down to the big day
- vandahm 2y agoI wish I had thought of this.
- tt_dev 2y agoI had my phone on my chest and breathing. Took me a minute to realize my breath matched the movement.
- Zee2 2y agoMy iPhone 16 Pro immediately started heating up the moment I opened the page. 11/10 working as designed!
- jameslk 2y agoYes, I didn’t know my phone had a secret feature of becoming an instant hand warmer until I visited this website
- cjbconnor 2y agoLooks cool, but the bottom lines flicker badly on Firefox, Windows 11.
- idopmstuff 2y agoI mean based on this website I'm gonna say feature not a bug
- flaminHotSpeedo 2y agoFine, I guess I'll just go take my IE7 impressions elsewhere!
- busterarm 2y agoMy new home page. Love it!
- LuHACK 2y ago[flagged]
- josu 2y agoThis is horrible.
- cs3f16 2y agoThis feels like a fever dream.
- bigbuppo 2y agoThe concept of Pitbull seems like fever dream.
- yoyopa 2y agoThe bigger they are, the harder they fall (Yeah) This biggity boy's a diggity dog (Yeah) I have 'em like Miley Cyrus, clothes off Twerkin' in they bras and thongs (Timber) Face down, booty up (Timber) That's the way we like the what? (Timber) I'm slicker than an oil spill She say she won't, but I bet she will, timber
- knowknow 2y agoThis is the epitome of crappy website designs and I love it. The unnecessary gradients, nauseating movements, ambiguous buttons, and overall clutter really symbolizes Mr. worldwide’s shoddiness.
- treetalker 2y agoAnd leaving the upside down exclamation point off the "Dale!" — chef's kiss. So Miami. Adding a "que bola!!!" somewhere would be the icing on the cake.

- MarcelOlsz 2y agoI will always respect him for doing the Alaska show.
- jayrot 2y agoFor real. I’m sure he got money or whatever but it does show a certain sense of humor/self awareness
- jagermo 2y agoI also have not yet heard that he is a sex criminal, despite his lyrics.
- smallpipe 2y agoThere was an online contest to vote for Pitbull to go perform at your local Walmart. The internet being what it is, he got sent to the most remote Walmart in the US, Kodiak Alaska. He did go and perform. What a top lad.
- techsolomon 2y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodiak,_Alaska#In_popular_culture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodiak,_Alaska#In_popular_cult... :-)
- alabhyajindal 2y agoThis is too funny!! Dale!
- alehlopeh 2y agoNow I’m aware that a lot of Swedish people are into Pitbull.
- dkh 2y agoA lot of people are into Pitbull.
- heftymouse 2y agoA lot of people worldwide, one could say
- DarmokJalad1701 2y agoWho is Dale?
- alehlopeh 2y agoIt’s Miami (read: Spanish) for “word” or “cheers”
- adynaton 2y agoIt means " go" or "let's go"
- alehlopeh 2y agoSure but what’s it used for. To finish a conversation.
- _3u10 2y agoIt’s both, it’s not just a Miami thing. I hear it all over Latin America. In both ways like dale dale Olimpia (go <team> go). Me: I’ll have a burger. Waiter: dale. I don’t hear it much in Argentina tho, but maybe I wasn’t listening for it.
- CPLX 2y agoDon't forget "vale" which I always think of as being Spain Spanish but you hear it all over the Spanish speaking world too. Which is like almost the same, but not the same.
- treetalker 2y agoYou could translate the Spanish literally as "hit it". It's like saying "alright!"
- ch4s3 2y agoI think “let’s gooooooo!” Is probably closer? Ish
- lxe 2y agoPeak weekend HN
- kylecazar 2y agoI thought there must be another Mr. Worldwide I'm not familiar with. Nope, it's Pitbull ;) I like it.
- bix6 2y agoKnocked it out of the park with this one
- lunarcave 2y agoI don't know why I like it, but I like it.
- memhole 2y agoI find the moving background nauseating lol. I like it though. Hope you enjoy the show!
- throwask 2y agoSeems more 80s/vaporwave to me than glassmorphism. The music player isn't working for me, chrome is reporting the following: Cookies with the SameSite=None; Secure and not Partitioned attributes that operate in cross-site contexts are third-party cookies. Chrome is moving towards a new experience that allows users to choose to browse without third-party cookies.
- dkh 2y agoSame problem.
- garyreckon 2y agoi've removed the iframe now as it was causing more issues than benefitting a good , fun experience. i couldn't quite get it to work so will update the 80s vaporwave shortly with some music
- boristsr 2y agoThis reminds me very much of the fun of the "old internet", late 90's early 2000s geocities fun! Love it.
- maxfurman 2y agoThis is one of the stupidest, most amazing things I've seen in quite a while. I'm glad to see someone doing something silly just for fun and not just hustling.
- seliopou 2y agoFor the pitbull lovers, there's http://www.pitbullparty.com/ http://www.pitbullparty.com/
- samtheDamned 2y agoThe "How to play" button being in the American Horror Story font really finishes the whole thing
- ks2048 2y agoI want to love/hate this, but when I click Dale, it says come back tomorrow (?)
- garyreckon 2y agoThis should now be fixed!
- NetOpWibby 2y agoThank you for this, I hope it shoots to the front page.
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- pratik661 2y agoAll this needs is a song that starts immediately playing when this loads in your browser and you have a full nostalgia trip
- garyreckon 2y agoi built this but could not get to stream it properly so removed it before deployment. my local version plays a playlist when this loads in the browser and its a party
- slicktux 2y agoDude! Where are the DJ horn sound effects!?
- dev_stdout 2y agoThis is nauseating. 10/10, no notes.
- SanjayMehta 2y agoI have no idea what’s going on here and from the comments it appears that this is by design.
- therm0 2y agoUnironically better than all the 'Another GPT Wrapper' apps that get submitted here.
- ecocentrik 2y agoPitbull's personal philosophy strongly compliments the Musk, Andreessen, Thiel, Altman worldview. I imagine Musk's first Martian colony will outlaw all music except for Pitbull.
- NehalNetha 2y agois the page breathing lollll
- bigbuppo 2y agoThis is so stupid I love it.
- nickvec 2y agoThis site made me feel nauseous.
- baobabKoodaa 2y agoworking as intended?
- kylehotchkiss 2y agoI hope every second of the show delivers what you’ve been anticipating. 11/10 great work
- fastball 2y agoLove the website but that Pitbull quote of the day is kinda... rapey
- lazide 2y agoOn the plus side, pitbull seems like one of the few with no actual rape accusations. So that’s good?
- link2navjeet 2y agothis will cure my adhd
- NoboruWataya 2y agoLooks great, though surely Mr Worldwide has sufficient wisdom to go around that we don't have to ration it to one quote a day! I've seen Pitbull twice, it's always a great show. Lots of energy and plenty of nuggets of wisdom dispensed between songs, lol.
- stevage 2y agoWho or what is MrWorldwide? Lot of people in this thread seem to know.
- tobylane 2y agoIt's a line in several songs by the rapper Pitbull. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitbull_(rapper) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitbull_(rapper)
- pirbull 2y agoThe fact that this is in the lead up to a show outside the US makes this even better
- pelagicAustral 2y agoNice one. I appreciate the humor. I t reminded me of an app I used to praise on my Nokia Lumia on Windows Phone, it was a simple Chael Sonnen wisdom app I could open anytime to get some quotes from the GOAT
- n2dasun 2y agoThis is awesome, but also makes me want to fight you
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- thiht 2y agoI love that the "not now" button does nothing
- kittikitti 2y agoThis app is revolutionary in the design. It's not campy but the next generation. It's an upgrade from AI slop, perhaps "AI camp"? Like, people asked an AI for a million features, it gave them slop, but during camp they all figured it out and made it to the front page! I also like the "breathing". This is probably nauseating for most people but I sort of do this while scrolling so I have my finger ready to swipe in between the seconds I read through the screen.
- Xen9 2y agoNow that you mentioned, "as highly conscious and self aware person", I observe the wave like up and down breathing effective, which I did not pay attention to while on the site, as a cost-effect. The interesting part is I am not always sure if I am actually waving from breathing, of if this is the illusion, and it was for half minute certainly both. This is the type of thing one remembers a decade afterwards. I don't know if this is AI, it looks like it, but could well not be. I believe this isn't "just fun" but having told the AI to not to make it work for meme effect on HN. Obviously AI could fix easily, including but not limited to the music itself.
- mynameyeff 2y agoWho’s Dale??
