Show HN: Dply – Free temporary Linux servers

That is the Pattaya font on Dply, which itself is a version of Lobster, which was/is a very popular font for Logos and websites. You will be very busy if you accuse every project which uses Lobster to be a ripoff of Diply. What do you mean with "everything"? The use of the color blue?

How do you not see the similarity between "Diply" and "dply" that uses the identical font and a similar color...

It honestly seems like a coincidence to me. Using a popular font (Lobster) for your logo means your logo will look like other people's logos.

As for "similar color", the dply logo appears to be black. There is some blue (not the same blue) on the page, I guess?

Diply's brand color is blue: http://diply.com/

Right, and dply's is black. So, I'm curious why "blue" is being mentioned at all. Because dply has some blue (not the same blue) on the page?

https://dply.co/how

Every link on the page is blue, as well as hovering (which is why I said their 'brand' color not their logo color)

Right. But not the same blue.

So, two websites, using the same font for their logo, and both using some shade of blue somewhere on the page?

I don't get your sarcasm. A logo matching in wording, font, and color, is different than a generic design aspect.

Whoah, slow down there. I was just asking. The name and font were similar enough to make me curious.
