Hey HN!
Every agent launch this year promises to do more for you, so I built the opposite :)
Komrad is an "AI" terminal from a fictional Soviet ministry. You type a request, it prints a reply on a paper slip. Real old time vibes.
Some details that were fun to get right:
1. The design, the language, the jokes. Not so simple!
2. Easter eggs, like the website's llms.txt
3. Making the internet a bit more silly, with yet another purposeless product, just there to make you smile.
It's silly, it's useless, but if you enjoyed it then that's what it's all about :)
