How? It just says `ssh exe.dev`. Unless you are clairvoyant.
- integralid 10mo ago"ssh exe.dev" is exactly the Linux command you would use to connect there via ssh. And it's stylized like command prompt.
- flexagoon 10mo agoThe question wasn't "how to ssh into a server", it was "how did you figure out what it it from looking at the website"
- codezero 10mo agoHow to ssh into a server isn’t a question, it’s a command.
- codezero 10mo agoBeing pedantic, I meant statement not command.

- doublerabbit 10mo ago"exe.dev is a subscription service that gives you virtual machines, with persistent disks, quickly and without fuss." scroll down and hit the "about" link. I do agree though the landing page could be more resourceful. I'm not going to SSH to a random server.
- lnenad 10mo agoThat's my point, the home/landing page tells you nothing other than "try to ssh into this van"
- panxyh 10mo agoAll a malicious website has to do to be convincing is to have a more conventional landing page then? The disk and sudo mentioned are good enough clues, then you have the about.
- lnenad 10mo agoWhere did I say that, that wasn't a topic I just commented on the *entirety* of the content on the landing page. > The disk and sudo mentioned are good enough clues I mean, you do you and let's agree to disagree about a good landing page UX.
- pxx 10mo agotbh maybe this service doesn't want you as a customer if you can't figure this out. it seems like you'd be an above-average support burden
- lnenad 10mo agoYou made me lol
- hnlmorg 10mo agoAre you honestly suggesting that startups should be picky about taking on customers? That’s probably the oddest thing to read on a tech VC forum. The lading page was garbage. It’s forgivable because designing goods landing pages is hard. But inventing wacky ideas about why a bad landing page might have some hidden genius, isnt constructive feedback

- PcChip 10mo agoBecause it literally tells you what to do
- rnewme 10mo agoExcept it doesn't trigger the keyboard on my phone and I can't interact with it.
- TJSomething 10mo agoIt's not interactive. It's just an extremely brief brochure for the actual service, which is available via SSH. All the useful copy is under the About link at the bottom, which is so light as to fail WCAG contrast standards.
- rnewme 10mo agoAh, that makes sense, thank you!
- gavinray 10mo agoYou are not the target audience if "how" was not apparent to you
- andai 10mo agoI became target audience after I had a cup of coffee...
- hnlmorg 10mo agoI am the target audience and I still had no idea what the site was promoting from just the landing page.

- davidmurdoch 10mo agoSomeone else said it's not actually interactive. So which is it?
- lnenad 10mo agoI mean, I've done engineering work for the last 15 years on most layers of the stack. Seeing an ssh command into a fancy url does not tell me anything about what that is going to accomplish. But yeah, you must be right.
- as1mov 10mo agoThe "how" is very obvious, but not the "why". I'd assume this much would be very apparent from the OPs complaint, but apparently not I guess...
