Design engineer. I build and improve digital products, from interface design to code. I am neither a designer nor a pure developer; I feel most comfortable in the middle ground.

Show HN: Rate the Aura of Public Figures

A small social experiment.

You can give a positive or negative “aura” vote to public figures (living only).

The idea came from watching people obsess over rankings during a big music festival here in Italy. Since I wasn’t that interested in the show itself, I spent a few evenings building this instead.

Curious to see what the internet thinks.

(Hope I don’t get sued)

Show HN: Tearoff – tear-off flyers for the internet

marcomezzavilla — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 13:46:26 +0000

Hey HN,

I'm a solo dev and I built this mostly because I thought it would be fun to make.

Tearoff brings the classic paper flyer with tear-off tabs to the internet. Create a digital flyer, add tabs with discount codes, hidden messages, access links, or contact info, and share it as a single link. When someone grabs a tab, it's gone for everyone.

I built it because I always liked the physicality of those "guitar lessons" flyers you see on city walls, and I wanted to see if that scarcity mechanic could work digitally.

I'd love feedback, especially if you can think of use cases I haven't considered. What would you put on a digital tear-off flyer?

I've built a minimal bookmark manager (https://pin.garden) that I've been using myself. It’s fast, bare-bones, and distraction-free. No animations, a single font, no images. I intentionally used "boring" tech: PHP and a flat-file CMS. Now I'm curious to see how much traffic it can handle before it breaks.

Kirby is by far the most fun CMS I've ever worked with.

I’m really impressed by its unrivalled flexibility when it comes to managing content. Everything about Kirby feels refined, functional and consistent. Congratulations to the whole team for the excellent work!
