Hi everyone! It's my first time submitting something, so please be gentle! HTML Product Hunt lets you browse Product Hunt discreetly by disguising it as HTML code. I really liked the ideas of Code Reddit (http://codereddit.com/) and Product Hunt Shell (https://producthuntshell.com/), and I wanted to make an HTML version for this site. I put this together over the weekend for fun, and I thought other people might enjoy it too. There was one scary point during development when my code editor stopped working. After trying to figure out the problem, I realized I wasn't using my editor at all. I had been fooled by my own app. That was when I decided it was convincing enough. What can you do: - See headlines - Explore trending topics - View comments - See quick visual previews when hovering over links - Avoid situations where you've done a ton of work all day but someone walks by during the 5 minutes you were looking at Product Hunt and judges you as if that's all you did all day Anyways, this was for fun, so it's not perfect by any means. I hope you enjoy it, and if you have questions or comments, feel free to share!

@rahulmfg Glad it was helpful!

Fun, sneaky and thoughtful. You must have a serious ProductHunt need and a pissy boss. I am fortunate enough that people at my work understand that sourcing and recommending better software services that will introduce efficiencies is essential to moving our company forward.

@brendonwbrown Lol I can see how my post would give that impression. Everyone where I work is cool, which is why I've been able to comment on the real Product Hunt today without disguising the site.

Love it!!!

Code folding would be absolutely sick!

@minu That's a great idea!

Or you could just get a job at a place where you're treated like an adult and allowed to look at whatever websites you want…

@shawnroos I think I gave the wrong impression about where I work. If it were a serious concern, I wouldn't have posted this app publicly under my real name. However, I agree very much with your comment as a general statement. :)

@yaphi1 I was just being snarky, it's a cool idea. But yeah, too many good people have to live like this because they work in crappy places. ✊

Nice. I find it rather tongue-in-cheek that it is tagged with "Productivity" haha. It'd be cool if I can somehow embed it in my Atom editor as a tab.

@mikeswcho Lol glad that tag was appreciated. The quickest solution I could find was one of those Atom plugins that let you use the browser in an Atom tab (https://atom.io/packages/browser...). I haven't tried it, so I can't vouch for it, but the avenue might be something to explore. I hope this helps!

@asimona Thank you!

Someone should do this for Reddit and hacker news too. It would be cool if it looked like Sublime Text and different tabs where Reddit, Hacker News, Product Hunt, etc.

@kpourdeilami That's a great idea!

Haha this is cool! Already surprised my team when they say code on my screen - this is far more unexpected than Product Hunt

@mastef Lol I wanted to see the reactions to this tag.

Wow! This is supercool.

This reminds me of BBSs and how some of them had a "boss mode" that would show either something like a Lotus Notes spreadsheet or a WordPerfect document.
