Show HN: The web is dead. Keep this app alive

https://longlivethis.site

Longlivethis is a "living" web app that pays for its own hosting an inference. Top proposal gets implemented every hour!

Propose new features and vote on them to help evolve the app and keep it alive.

It's an experiment: how long can it stay alive? Propose something cool and help it live on.

I think the future of the internet is generative. If you think this is interesting, feel free to get in touch :)

Only the top feature every hour.

If you want to add something complicated ask an LLM to first plan the feature (the code is here: https://github.com/thewebisdead/longlivethis) and the submit the implementation plan as a proposal!

You can propose a different schedule or system as a proposal too!

Very interesting! Would be cool if this was a self-sustained system that financed itself...

dead internet theory is rlly coming to life lol

have you tried the viral tiktok slideshow method for this?

we automated our phone farm after 200m views. down to set you up with an account for a month free so you can see what a demo like this does at volume. we handle the account creation and posting.

would just love feedback!
