That's a you thing.

Safari should be on Windows. I don't care what CSS standards it has, it needs to give Chrome and Firefox some competition
The site reminds me of a youtube video downloader. They technically do the job but the site itself it seems very sketchy.
Well, personally I would prefer if it doesn't exist.

Example of a good image toolbox online: https://ezgif.com/ - straight to the point.

Example of a bad page: https://imageresizer.com/crop-image - the long SEO-style content feels distracting and undermines trust.

Users who see the blog post section will know it is an SEO tactic, which puts people off. Also, nobody's going to read it; I would recommend adding some JS to detect if the user is a google bot, if so, remove the blog post. Lastly, the faceless, generic design can seem very sketchy.

After the actual UI there is a whole SEO article. :/
Dead internet theory, anyway I could just use ChatGPT for this

Most ordinary people thing that they are just adding a shortcut to the website, whereas these wrappers convince the user they are actually installing an app app.

Personally I think PWAs are a bit confusing for consumers as they think "It's a website, i won't be able to use it offline." and if they get reminded that they can use it offline they usually forget.
I recommend this to anyone that has finished learning HTML and CSS. It simplifies javascript a lot.

What if I need to buy something on Coinbase Commerce?

Why do you think i'm in the USA...? I am in the UK and it is impossible to buy bitcoin without regulations.

Bitcoin is regulated as hell

I think the concept of "vibe coding" was around before the label "vibe coding" existed.

You shouldn't try and find ways to add unnecessary javascript to your page.

Re:Ask HN: What web software do you pay for as a consumer? on Wednesday September 17, 2025 @04:20PM (#45280916)
Not all web-based software is bad. Windows Explorer's left-side menu bar was made in HTML for a while, and that was alright.
If i am correct, YouTube is trying to say "If you don't watch the ads, you are harming the poor, small content creators!"
Why would they not allow them?
