Show HN: MacProxy Plus – Surf the Modern Web on Vintage Computers


flask-based web proxy that lets you browse the modern web on vintage computers - hunterirving/macproxy_plus

This fork of MacProxy adds support for 'extensions', which intercept requests for specific domains and serve simple HTML interfaces, making it possible to browse the modern web from vintage hardware. Type a URL that doesn't exist into the address bar, and Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet will interpret the domain and any query parameters to generate an imagined version of that page on the fly. A legally distinct parody of YouTube, which uses the fantastic homebrew application MacFlim(created by Fred Stark) to encode video files as a series of dithered black and white frames.
