HTML Product Hunt

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!

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.

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!

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

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. ✊

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!

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.
