So many thank to all of you for your support! This project has represented a lot of efforts for me and it means a lot!

Right now the website seems to be pretty slow/down. There is a lot of traffic, which was not expected. I also suspect there might be a DoS attack going on.

I will try to make it work better when I get home! (I am currently at work so I cannot give much attention to it right now)

Sorry for the inconvenience, but glad you appreciate the project!

DOS from HN's very own Slashdot effect...

For those who are wondering WTF is a Slashdot, and how does it effect websites.

Weird to think there are now people so young in these types of discussions that wouldn't know about Slashdot.

I was only vaguely aware of Slashdot (and never had heard this effect referred to by that name), and at 30, I'm probably more than a decade older than at least someone in this thread. If you want "weird", think of the fact that a baby named after Hurricane Katrina would be old enough to vote in this year's US presidential election.

I get that all the time, as most of my collegues don't get jokes related to TV series that predate them.

I have learned to avoid such remarks, unless surrounded by 40y+ folks.

i used to browse slashdot on my amiga back in the late 90s with iBrowse. what glorious days!

Slashdot was the GOTO site in the late 90's early 00's for tech news...

This is a cool project; getting bash to run on it seems like a real milestone. I dabbled with my own unix-like OS right out of college in C (no rust in 2010) and it was great fun.

I'm jealous you were able to make time to get this far!

Please test your website on mobile.

The navbar takes like 33% screen state and can't be removed.

I never understand why people want to make them sticky and steal valuable reading screen space. You can, if you want, always scroll to the top in like 300 ms.

75% zoom alleviated most of the ux issues I had

I agree, I have the Kill Sticky extension installed on my mobile browser and it works great for these kinds of situations.

very svelte compared to most cookie notices.
