Welp. Same thing happened in r/place
Re:Show HN: ssh ssh.place on Monday August 03, 2026 @04:19PM (#49160889)
Such was r/place, and such is life. There is never a world where there will be no bots and it'll also be completely free for anyone to use online. I'll try to nerf it, though.

Thanks :) There's tons of us over at https://hackclub.com

I understand where you are getting from, thanks for posting this. I'll keep this in mind for my next project (or if I push changes to this one.) I also wanted this to appeal to non-hackers, and a big part of that was me wanting to show how simple it was to log in.

I'll look into adding orange, thanks :)

Would like to clarify that all my code is open source at https://github.com/jeninh/ssh.place , even the deployment is triggered through GitHub actions. I'm also a teen and not too familiar with most of these terms, so I might be forgetting something.

Aww...

I'm just wondering what to do when this post dies down. Then I guess I could link to it... It's not like it's going to go back to the front page anyways
Re:Show HN: ssh ssh.place on Sunday August 02, 2026 @10:58PM (#49150727)
I'm going to be so honest, I don't have much advice for you. I'm a teenager who's part of Hack Club (https://hackclub.com) who made this entirely for fun.

I was inspired by @zachlatta's SSHtron (https://github.com/zachlatta/sshtron) and wanted to make an SSH game. I loved how easy it was for him to promote it too, he made a HN post with title "ssh sshtron.zachlatta.com" because it gets people to try out the actual game rather than look at a README. If you have a business, find something useful that would help! Or in my case, find something fun you want to make/remake to be used in the terminal over SSH. Hack Club also used to have a hiring page over SSH, if I recall correctly.

My code uses wish, bubbletea and lipgloss from Charm. You can look at the code over at https://github.com/jeninh/ssh.place

Good luck!

I'm wondering if there is a better way to do this. On one hand, we could just do it here but then I can't link people to this page or it'll harm the post. I could also just use a subreddit or make a forum on https://ssh.place
Re:Show HN: ssh ssh.place on Sunday August 02, 2026 @10:13PM (#49150457)
Oops. I'll fix that right now
Re:Show HN: ssh ssh.place on Sunday August 02, 2026 @10:12PM (#49150455)
It's a pretty flower :-) I hope it wasn't you who put that red line through it

Shellbox is so sick!!! I'm going to look into implementing it into a project I'm working on.

I also have limits for IP and device + some other factors :) The full details are in the README on GitHub. But also I don't expect too many people to find this, it's one of my first public projects. If we do get a surge of people then I'll implement something better.

Show HN: OpenOTP – Autofill email verification codes on your Mac

Hey! I'm Jenin, a 14 year old in Toronto, Canada! This is my first proper Open Source software I made, called OpenOTP! I have 6 emails :sob: and grabbing OTP's from them can be hard, even with a good email client. So I built this tool to make it easier for me! I made it in native Swift :)I did this for Hack Club Horizons, which is an event where they're flying teens to 7 countries around the...

Amazing! Glad my software could be put to good use. I also made a feature that automatically hides it from screenshares so people can't abuse it to get into your accounts, but it's toggleable in the preferences if necessary :)

Hey! I'm Jenin, a high schooler in Canada, and this is one of my first proper open source projects that I've made :)

It's called OpenOTP, and it's a MacOS application I made that autofills your email verification codes into whatever website you're trying to log into. It took me about a week from start to finish!

You can take a look at how it works and how to install it at https://openotp.app . Unfortunately the software is not signed, as I don't have a dev license :(. To avoid this, you can also use the one-liner 'curl -fsSL https://openotp.app/install.sh | sh'

I'd love if you could take a look at it and let me know what you think! Cheers :)
