Show HN: The Fuck Cards – make a card for a friend or enemy

by webjac on 4/18/23, 11:36 AM with 28 comments

The Fuck Card started years ago as a physical card I printed for some friends.

Now it's this simple web app you can use to express yourself.

Quickly make a card, copy the link and send it to someone who deserves it.

It's fun and there's lots you can say with it.

I built it built in 100% handcrafted in Vanilla HTML, CSS and JS. No frameworks, no BS.

Fonts are provided by Google Fonts. Image generation thanks to html2canvas. No-tracking analytics by Matomo.

It started as a weekend project to train my JS skills. I'd love to know your thoughts.

    On mobile Firefox, the app captures the gesture to go back to the prior page, so I couldn't come back to here until I typed in the URL box to navigate to Hacker News

    Something goes wonky when creating the card. The card is flipped with the result but the inputs are visible on the "other side" of the card[0]. On latest version of Firefox.

    Also it was a little confusing selecting words. I thought you only select one top word and one bottom word. Didn't realize you should select more than one for it to make sense.

    I don’t understand the concept and the music embarrassed me at work

    Shouldn't it say "The Fuck" in many of these cases? "Fuck off" is ok but "Get fuck off" is weird.

    Is there no class and dignity anywhere anymore?

    Having the back button taken over so it only flips the card and doesn't let you actually go back to where you were linked from is cool for two flips, then irritating.
