Show HN: A motherfucking app (does one thing, under 300 LOC)

https://adnjoo.github.io/motherfuckingapp/
26•adnjoo•9mo ago
Inspired by motherfuckingwebsite.com, this is a 100% static HTML/JS app.

You get one task box. A “do nothing” button. And zero bullshit. No login. No tracking. No frameworks. Just focus. Under 300 lines of code.

Built for fun. Possibly for sanity.

> 100% static HTML/JS app.

> under 300 LOC

> "Do nothing" button

WTF mf, why are so many lines and fancy tech for do nothing button?

sebastiennight•9mo ago
Last week we had an entire game of DOOM in a QR code... I think someone can get us "Do nothing" in less than 300 lines of code.
chrisbuc•9mo ago
I'm sure someone can get it smaller than this (save as .html)

  <input id="i">
  <button onclick="l.textContent='Now do '+i.value">Do This</button>
  <button onclick="l.textContent='Do nothing'">Do Nothing</button>
  <label id="l"></label>
sebastiennight•9mo ago

    data:text/html;,<input id=i><button onclick="l.textContent='Now do '+i.value">Do</button><button onclick="l.textContent='Do nothing'">Nope</button><label id=l>
Will work in your browser if you copy/paste it. Or as a QR code: https://d1yei2z3i6k35z.cloudfront.net/2914/6815454b25323_qr-...
tuyguntn•9mo ago
You forced me to stand up and write the code. Here is your cross-platform desktop app in 10 lines, pretty sure others can do better than me:

    package main
    import (
     "fyne.io/fyne/v2/app"
     "fyne.io/fyne/v2/widget"
    )
    func main() {
     w := app.New().NewWindow("One Button App")
     w.SetContent(widget.NewButton("Do Nothing", func() {}))
     w.ShowAndRun()
    }
dingnuts•9mo ago
You only need two Tcl statements, shown here on one line for the sake of this pissing contest:

button .b -text "Do Nothing" -command {exit}; pack .b

dogman123•9mo ago
I thought the era of gratuitous cursing was behind us. Oh well.
mattdeboard•9mo ago
frick no it's not
Illniyar•9mo ago
This is clickbait. The app does two things, there's a do nothing and a do one thing button. That's TWO things, not one. One thing would be ONE button.

0 star review. Developer should be ashamed of himself and should never ever build another thing ever again.

BLKNSLVR•9mo ago
You're doing it wrong. Counting doing nothing as something is incorrect.

Doing nothing counts as not a thing and doing a thing counts as one thing, which is what it says it does.

It may have two dot points, but only one of them is something.

If I tell my wife I was busy all day because I was doing nothing, she would say you did not get one thing done today, and she would be right.

sebastiennight•9mo ago
Well if the only thing you did was nothing, that would be one thing, but you also said you were busy all day, which is a whole other thing.
titaphraz•9mo ago
Lord jesus fucking christ. I love this motherfucking shit.
adnjoo•9mo ago
Finally, someone gets it. It’s not an app. It’s a vibe engine.
kristianc•9mo ago
“And it's fucking useless” would have at least been honest
titaphraz•9mo ago
I click "Download the App" and fuck all happens. How the hell did you fuck up that simple app?

titaphraz•9mo ago
Yikes! Sorry!
dang•9mo ago
Yikes indeed! we'll move it thither

(Thanks for watching out for a fellow user! This would have sent the mods awry otherwise...)

adnjoo•9mo ago
That was intentional. The real download was the silence you felt inside.
titaphraz•9mo ago
There is never silence. Software buttons can do two things, a) what they say they do, or if not, b) trigger my rage response right away.
JSR_FDED•9mo ago
I’m not happy with the learning curve. Can we get an onboarding self-guided tour upon first use?
adnjoo•9mo ago
Absolutely. We’re currently designing a 12-part onboarding flow using AI-powered nudges, a contextual chat assistant, and an animated raccoon mascot named Doofy. ETA Q3 2026.

In the meantime, please feel free to explore the button at your own pace.

JSR_FDED•9mo ago
Please don’t do a half-assed job. If you’re not adding Gamification, don’t bother with the rest either.
adnjoo•9mo ago
Half-assed? Sir, this is a zero-ass product. That’s the whole point.
almosthere•9mo ago
Yeah also I'm really tired of lazy takes on a concept for a joke.
j3s•9mo ago
honestly this joke is pretty played out at this point - you need to put more distance between your app & the initial idea, otherwise it feels a little too much like a soulless rehash / pale clone of the original.
tgdn•9mo ago
The website doesn’t work on mobile
antisthenes•9mo ago
The ultimate irony, of course, is that you turned something that 100% did not need to be an "app" into an app.

But good job nonetheless.
