Show HN: A motherfucking app (does one thing, under 300 LOC)

by adnjoo on 5/2/25, 2:30 PM with 28 comments

Inspired by motherfuckingwebsite.com, this is a 100% static HTML/JS app.

You get one task box. A “do nothing” button. And zero bullshit. No login. No tracking. No frameworks. Just focus. Under 300 lines of code.

Built for fun. Possibly for sanity.

    WTF mf, why are so many lines and fancy tech for do nothing button?

    “And it's fucking useless” would have at least been honest

    I click "Download the App" and fuck all happens. How the hell did you fuck up that simple app?

    This is clickbait. The app does two things, there's a do nothing and a do one thing button. That's TWO things, not one. One thing would be ONE button.

    0 star review. Developer should be ashamed of himself and should never ever build another thing ever again.

    The ultimate irony, of course, is that you turned something that 100% did not need to be an "app" into an app.

    But good job nonetheless.

    I’m not happy with the learning curve. Can we get an onboarding self-guided tour upon first use?

    The website doesn’t work on mobile

    honestly this joke is pretty played out at this point - you need to put more distance between your app & the initial idea, otherwise it feels a little too much like a soulless rehash / pale clone of the original.

    Lord jesus fucking christ. I love this motherfucking shit.

    Yeah also I'm really tired of lazy takes on a concept for a joke.

    I thought the era of gratuitous cursing was behind us. Oh well.
