Show HN: A fast, minimal daily horoscope site built with Next.js

I built a simple daily horoscope site as a side project. Most sites I tried felt heavy and cluttered, so I wanted to see how lightweight and fast I could make one.

It’s designed to be minimal:

Loads under 1 second, even on slow connections

Mobile-first UI

Horoscope data pre-generated daily and served as static JSON

Stack: Next.js (frontend), Tailwind CSS, Cloudflare Workers (API proxy + caching), and hosted on Vercel. A cron job updates the data daily.

I’m curious:

Is it too minimal, or does it work as intended?

Would you find value in weekly/monthly readings?

Any ideas to improve performance or UX?
