Show HN: Hacker News on a train station-style flip board

The lead

Although the page itself is more just fun to have made and look at (I like the flip sound), the fun part is how I made it to verify the (and I hate to say it) vibe host service I've been working on. The recent flip board back and forth's on Twitter (X) are what inspired me.

The impact

The idea here is that people (like me or you) can create something neat like this, and others can remix it, change it and publish their own version. This is that all in action and it worked great.

The show backdrop

I wrote a blog about it (the blog is dogfooding, it's just an app hosted on quickish that uses the built in db lib)

This is that all in action and it worked great. Of course that's over-kill but I wanted to show something fun.
