STUFF.

THE CURRENT
LINEUP

01 / FINDER

A LESS POLITE JOB BOARD

HN Jobs

Find interesting work without the corporate fog machine. Filter hard. Read the good bits.

02 / SEARCH ENGINE

FOR WHEN “THE ONE WITH THE STICK PEOPLE” ISN’T ENOUGH

WHAM! Search

Describe a joke, a scientific crisis, or a weird stick-figure memory. The xkcd universe will rummage.

03 / PEOPLE FINDER

THE INTERNET IS A SMALLER PLACE THAN IT LOOKS

HN Buddies

Find the HN minds your brain already agrees with. Similarity, but make it mildly uncanny.

04 / LOCAL-FIRST TOOL

YOUR BOOKMARKS. YOUR FOLDER. YOUR RULES.

Shelf

A completely free, local-first bookmark manager with saved pages, deep search, and a full automation API.

Small heads-up: a couple of these apps take a beat to wake up. Give them a second. They’re doing their little JavaScript stretches.

STATUS: GOOD ENOUGH

a tiny manifesto

THE WEB IS
MORE FUN
WHEN IT’S A
BIT STUPID.

Stupid Labs is a one-person-ish lab for experiments that are useful enough to keep and weird enough to remember.

01

Make the tiny idea.

02

Give it a silly name.

03

Put it on the internet.

No growth strategy. No pitch deck. Just a suspicious amount of curiosity.
