Show HN: I build one absurd web project every month (Score: 150+ in 7 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6vupD
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6vupD
I’ve been building absurd, mostly useless web projects for fun — and I publish one every month at absurd.website.
These are deliberately non-functional, weird, sometimes funny, sometimes philosophical — and usually totally unnecessary.
Some examples:
Sexy Math — solve math problems to reveal erotic images.
Trip to Mars — a real-time simulation that takes 7 months to finish.
Add Luck to Your e-Store — add a waving cat widget to boost your conversion via superstition.
Microtasks for Meatbags — the future: AI gives prompts, humans execute.
Invisible Lingerie — it’s sexy. And invisible.
Artist Death Tracker — art prices spike when artists die. We track that.
Open Celebrity — one open-source face, shared by all. Together we make her famous.
I just enjoy exploring what the web can be when it doesn’t try to be “useful”.
Would love to hear what you think — and absurd ideas are always welcome.

Show HN: A toy version of Wireshark (student project) (Score: 156+ in 4 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6vtz8
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6vtz8
Hi everyone,
I recently published a small open-source project. It’s a minimal network packet analyzer written in Go — designed more like a learning toy than a replacement for Wireshark.
It currently supports parsing basic protocols like TLS, DNS, and HTTP, and includes a tiny fuzzing engine to test payload responses. You can inspect raw packet content directly from the terminal. The output is colored for readability, and the code structure is kept simple and clear.
The entire program is very small — just about 400 lines of Go code. I know it’s not anywhere near Wireshark’s level, and I still use Wireshark myself for real-world analysis. But I built it as a personal experiment in network parsing and to understand protocol behavior more directly.
If you're curious or would like to try it out, the project is here:
https://github.com/lixiasky/vanta
I'm happy to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or critiques. It’s just a little network toy, but maybe someone out there finds it useful or fun.
Thanks for reading!
