Show HN: I Made yet Another Rick Roll Link Generator – Instant Rick Roll (instantrickroll.com)

Hey there -- thought I'd show this simple app off. I'm bad at rails/html/css/js but made a Rick Roll generator in just under a day with rails!

It's kind of incredible how relevant the rick roll still is after ~15 years.

Any generated Links Dynamically make opengraph tags to disguise themselves as whatever the user inputs.

It's been pretty fun to see people making their own Rick Roll links. Everyone wants to make a million dollar SaaS app but making dumb little apps like this is something I might do more of!

Also -- it's kind of messed up how easily you could phish someone, I've made a bunch of random links my friends would be interested in and the click through rate is very high.

Thanks, I'll have to look into this. Accessibility was an issue making sure that the user first interacts with the website before playing sounds, etc.
