Show HN: Apposters – Generate a project website directly from a GitHub link

Apposters is a tool that generates a project website directly from a GitHub repository link, allowing developers to quickly create a landing page for their projects.

Background

- "Show HN" is a category on Hacker News (HN), a popular tech community run by Y Combinator, where users share side projects and startup prototypes for feedback. - Apposters is a new tool that lets you create a simple marketing or project website automatically by entering a GitHub repository link — no manual web design or writing needed. - GitHub is the dominant platform for hosting and sharing code; many open-source projects live there but lack a dedicated "landing page" to explain what they do to non-developers. - The problem Apposters addresses: developers often build useful projects but skip making a proper project website because it's tedious work. This tool automates that step, generating a site from the code's README and metadata. - The site is built as a "Show HN" post, meaning it's likely an early-stage or solo project seeking initial traction from the tech community.
