Show HN: Safe-now.live – Ultra-light emergency info site (<10KB)

11•tinuviel•1h ago

After reading "During Helene, I Just Wanted a Plain Text Website" on Sparkbox (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46494734) , I built safe-now.live – a text-first emergency info site for USA and Canada. No JavaScript, no images, under 10KB. Pulls live FEMA disasters, NWS alerts, weather, and local resources. This is my first live website ever so looking for critical feedback on the website. Please feel free to look around.

https://safe-now.live

Looks nice & useful. However, I'd make two versions: The one you have, and additionally a version with Javascript that is a Progressive Web App (PWA). I'm pretty sure some AI could convert the normal page into a PWA for you.

The PWA has the advantage that it will also load when the internet is down and there is no need to save the page manually.

I would suggest increasing font-size, looks too small

I think the default target is expecting a smaller screen mobile device, hence the 13px default. This is a good idea, and any other screen sizes that see smaller text can still zoom in using default browser behaviors.

Agree, even just converting to use em instead of px is more usable on differing screen size/dpi
