Hey, one of the two cofounders here. Very cool to see Weird on HN, although we had purposefully refrained from posting it ourselves yet since it’s still baking.

Weird is essentially gonna be ported over to being the static, persona-first extension of Roomy: https://blog.muni.town/chatty-community-gardens/

Seems cool, but overloading the term agentic development is a risky play. I almost clicked away when I saw that because, my opinions about LLMs for development aside, I do not want them anywhere near my blog, because that's where I want my own voice to come through strongest.

That aside, this looks really cool and I wish you all the best!

(addressing erlend_sh because I saw them in the thread)

There are a lot of weird comments in this thread but to me this looks like a cool, genuine project which has an obvious need; I don't think the vibes are off at all.

Given that lately I can't even be bothered to write Markdown for my static site I'm looking forward to giving this a try this weekend.

> Weird is a brand new thing, but: Think of it as if WordPress and Notion had a Linktree-shaped baby. That is to say, a WordPress-type website engine with the editing experience of Notion and the simplicity of Linktree.

How many people that understand that, need this?

Pretty formalized for being weird. But I think the most important thing for human beings continuing to have websites (and so weird websites) is to keep HTTP/1.1 and HTTP+HTTPS alive. Without those thing websites are just too fragile for humans to keep going more than a few years. Whereas with those things websites have indefinite lifespans even unmantained. I know the pieces fit, because I watched them fall away: http://superkuh.com/the-pieces-fit.html (a wierd web page). HTTP+HTTPS does work for human person use cases. Even if the profit-seeking corps and institutions want it gone because it doesn't fit theirs.

WEIRD is okay, and a fine start, but using someone else's service does not usually lead to creativity or weird. Just look how weird the early web was when everyone just did their own thing.
