Show HN: Verysmall.site – vibecode single page websites
I had non-technical relatives who needed a really simple website. I could have built it for them in a couple of hours, but instead I spent a few more hours to solve the more general problem.
They want to talk to a technical person to create and make basic updates to a simple landing page.
I know v0, loveable, replit etc all exist, but they still have a learning curve, and then hosting gets expensive. This way they can download the site as a single HTML file and upload it to their oldschool ISP webhosting package.
I was inspired by carrd.co which I used a lot from when it was still html5up all the way through its various iterations. I think constraints can actually be good sometimes, though in this case probably the lack of way to upload images and other assets to integrate might be too much of a limitation.
It's fully vibe-coded using Replit agent (which I bought on a Black Friday special and some extra credits for this month) and also hosted on Replit. I have no idea how scalable it is or how many concurrent users it can serve, or how reliable the vibe coded queue system is, but I guess I might be about to find out.
Let me know what you think
It's essentially a blank slate to host any content on your domain, including JS.

Although maybe the issue is just that you haven’t picked the best examples? The one you linked in a comment with the raining emojis is a way better example that shows the flexibility (and the fun!) of this, I think.
Either way, I’d go with https://mmm.page as an easy and fun page builder before this, but maybe that’s just my own prejudice against vibe coding.
In a utopian future, social media would mean having this over the open Internet instead of a social media garden. It'd be healthier for my kids at least...
So you can say 'nevermind, make the background darker, and remove the navbar' to make edits. - Made it quite flexible, I dumped the idea though.
