This is a really cool idea, and very appealing. Also very nice that it looks usable with just an SSH client. It would be useful if it was explained what the companion client is for? Another small personal gripe: I think you should either remove the 1 line copy/paste sh install on the homepage, or add a link to a git repo on the homepage. I know it's possible to view the sh by visiting it, but a raw text file doesn't…

noted, good feedback :) will change it later, thanks!

And... Cue 1M dummies here running that code without even looking at it, SMH.

It's possible to login and interact and use late.sh with just your SSH client - there's no need to download or run custom code. But you that did make me realise that they don't have a github link on that page anywhere. Your tone in this comment is a bit out of place on HN. Why are you here if you think it's 1M dummies?

The people why ran that line without knowing what it does are dummies. And yes maybe not 1M but there were a lot of them.

Not to mention that a webserver can be configured to show one sh file when a regular browser visits and another when curl etc. gets it. Show one thing, install another.

NEW web design with better contrast incoming! :D Thank you for the feedback :)

yeah I was gonna say, it's very difficult to read on an eink display. And while we're at it, I believe my phone is set to reduced animations, which I believe is a preference that's exposed to websites, the experience would be much better without so much blinking going on.

Design is illegible. Needs more contrast between text and background. I'm not even vision impaired and I was squinting immediately.

Even 15 years ago this was such a big problem that someone tried to start a rebellion: https://contrastrebellion.com/

Haha, nice website, with the greyed-out comments on HN featured among the offending examples. :)
