alt Hacker NewsThat must be worst website ever made.
Zero information available on mobile.
I thought it is some kind of portfolio site that does not work on mobile.

Not a mobile issue. I am on desktop and had no idea what this service was because nothing on the initial UI explained what we were looking at. I went and double-checked when people here were talking about pricing and VMs. From the home page, I figured it was some text-based game or experiment and closed the page.
It looks like some people who work there are watching this thread, so to them I say: You have got to explain what this is, not just say "the disk persists..." and expect people to dig deeper. Most aren't that curious.
Agree, I finally found information via
Homepage -> blog -> docs -> "all docs" button:
Which has an about and pricing etc.
That is very counterintuitive to just find out what this is.
Did you try clicking one link into "about" and reading one paragraph of text?
I wouldn’t go that far but some link to pricing and documentation would be useful. I have absolutely no idea what the offering is here without those pieces of info.
I can see
> ssh exe.dev
> The disk persists. You have sudo.
on mobile
The exact text on mobile is
> ssh exe.dev
> The disk persists. You have sudo.
I've seen enough of these kinds of services in my lifetime that I also immediately knew what it was, for example sdf.org, which is one of the OG services, and various "tilde" services like tilde.town.
i'm not sure what you mean; the demo runs with the ssh command in the centre, there's an 'about' link at the bottom, and that links to a docs index
it's fiine i think
Hyperbole much? I'm on mobile and think it's great. I wish more websites were like this. Just straight to the point instead of all the regular marketing fluff you need to decipher.
It would be funny if it was literally the best website I've seen in like a year...
... which it is.
Come on guys, it literally says 'ssh exe.dev'
It's kind of funny our experiences are so diffent. I almost immediately surmised it's some sort of on the fly generated vm you can access via a ssh jumpserver. Which it is! It's actually really neat. It's quite obvious that the authors want us to just ssh into it and try it out first.
