Show HN: Minnow – minimal now pages via chat (minnow.social)

Minnow, a new tool aimed at democratizing personal website creation, allows users to generate minimalistic "now" pages through prompts directed at a coding language model (LLM). Users simply describe their interests and provide relevant media links, and Minnow drafts a personal webpage that can be hosted at username.minnow.social. For those concerned about costs, the platform encourages users to interact with LLMs like ChatGPT or Claude for additional design support before pasting the final HTML into Minnow, ensuring a user-friendly experience. This initiative is significant for the AI/ML community as it showcases a novel application of language models in web development, simplifying the process for non-coders. The honor-based model invites users to donate based on usage, helping sustain the service while highlighting the operational costs associated with utilizing OpenAI's API, which can vary based on project complexity. As Minnow gains traction, its success will depend on community support; a lack of donations may limit its functionality or lead to a read-only mode.
