    Cloudflare Quick Tunnels have existed for more than 5 years (yes, including the anonymous quick tunnels). I copy-pasted the url of the HN link in archive.org, see for yourself: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20211202005430&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;try.cloudflare.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20211202005430&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;try.cloudf...

    Is a new vibe-coded landing page for a 5-year old product really worthy of being on the front page nowadays? There should at least be a [2021] in the title.

      Why do you think it’s vibe coded? Just asking to see if I can learn something. I can see it’s very standard corpo-aesthetic, uses callouts for the sake of callouts, and is horribly laggy, but corpo websites were doing all that long before AI. It also seems to be using a bunch of Cloudflare-specific terminology that I’d think would take longer to review and correct an AI on than to type yourself.

        One tell is: if you can code that hero there&#x27;s no excuse for the silly bugs.

        For example, the hero is fairly impressive in mobile but it&#x27;s broken in desktop. And then you scroll down to the next section and there&#x27;s overflowing text.

        IOW, the skill level is inconsistent.
