Show HN: I built an app to get daily wisdom from Mr. Worldwide
daale.clubPitbull is coming to Stockholm. As a part of that prep, I built an app with glassmorphism style counting down to the big day

My iPhone 16 Pro immediately started heating up the moment I opened the page. 11/10 working as designed!
Yes, I didn’t know my phone had a secret feature of becoming an instant hand warmer until I visited this website
This is one of the stupidest, most amazing things I've seen in quite a while. I'm glad to see someone doing something silly just for fun and not just hustling.
This is the epitome of crappy website designs and I love it. The unnecessary gradients, nauseating movements, ambiguous buttons, and overall clutter really symbolizes Mr. worldwide’s shoddiness.
And leaving the upside down exclamation point off the "Dale!" — chef's kiss. So Miami.
Adding a "que bola!!!" somewhere would be the icing on the cake.
The pulsing title underline causing page shift is genius. It's a blinking marquee away from perfection.
Helps that my phone renders the layout shifting at ~5fps
I will always respect him for doing the Alaska show.
There was an online contest to vote for Pitbull to go perform at your local Walmart. The internet being what it is, he got sent to the most remote Walmart in the US, Kodiak Alaska. He did go and perform. What a top lad.

Walmart having a very large fleet of corporate private jets likely made the decision and trip easier for him.
If you call yourself Mr. Worldwide you can’t really say no.
For real. I’m sure he got money or whatever but it does show a certain sense of humor/self awareness
I also have not yet heard that he is a sex criminal, despite his lyrics.
[dead]
Looks great, though surely Mr Worldwide has sufficient wisdom to go around that we don't have to ration it to one quote a day!
I've seen Pitbull twice, it's always a great show. Lots of energy and plenty of nuggets of wisdom dispensed between songs, lol.
Seems more 80s/vaporwave to me than glassmorphism.
The music player isn't working for me, chrome is reporting the following:

i've removed the iframe now as it was causing more issues than benefitting a good , fun experience. i couldn't quite get it to work so will update the 80s vaporwave shortly with some music
Same problem.
For the pitbull lovers, there's http://www.pitbullparty.com/
The "How to play" button being in the American Horror Story font really finishes the whole thing
Peak weekend HN
All this needs is a song that starts immediately playing when this loads in your browser and you have a full nostalgia trip
i built this but could not get to stream it properly so removed it before deployment. my local version plays a playlist when this loads in the browser and its a party
This is horrible.
And amazing
Dale!
Nice one. I appreciate the humor. I t reminded me of an app I used to praise on my Nokia Lumia on Windows Phone, it was a simple Chael Sonnen wisdom app I could open anytime to get some quotes from the GOAT
I find the moving background nauseating lol. I like it though. Hope you enjoy the show!
This is awesome, but also makes me want to fight you
Love the website but that Pitbull quote of the day is kinda... rapey
On the plus side, pitbull seems like one of the few with no actual rape accusations. So that’s good?
Pitbull's personal philosophy strongly compliments the Musk, Andreessen, Thiel, Altman worldview. I imagine Musk's first Martian colony will outlaw all music except for Pitbull.
I hope every second of the show delivers what you’ve been anticipating. 11/10 great work
Who or what is MrWorldwide? Lot of people in this thread seem to know.
It's a line in several songs by the rapper Pitbull.

I want to love/hate this, but when I click Dale, it says come back tomorrow (?)
Who’s Dale??
Who is Dale?
It’s Miami (read: Spanish) for “word” or “cheers”
It means " go" or "let's go"
Sure but what’s it used for. To finish a conversation.
It’s both, it’s not just a Miami thing. I hear it all over Latin America. In both ways like dale dale Olimpia (go <team> go).
Me: I’ll have a burger. Waiter: dale.
I don’t hear it much in Argentina tho, but maybe I wasn’t listening for it.
Don't forget "vale" which I always think of as being Spain Spanish but you hear it all over the Spanish speaking world too. Which is like almost the same, but not the same.
You could translate the Spanish literally as "hit it". It's like saying "alright!"
I think “let’s gooooooo!” Is probably closer? Ish
If we are being literal literal it’s “give it” or “give (it to you)”
Right, but that obviously isn't how it should be translated in context.
It's pretty close. I always think of "send it" as a pretty close English equivalent phrase.
Thank you for this, I hope it shoots to the front page.
I don't know why I like it, but I like it.
This reminds me very much of the fun of the "old internet", late 90's early 2000s geocities fun! Love it.
The fact that this is in the lead up to a show outside the US makes this even better
I had my phone on my chest and breathing. Took me a minute to realize my breath matched the movement.
I have no idea what’s going on here and from the comments it appears that this is by design.
This site made me feel nauseous.
working as intended?
I love that the "not now" button does nothing
My new home page. Love it!

Looks cool, but the bottom lines flicker badly on Firefox, Windows 11.
I mean based on this website I'm gonna say feature not a bug
Fine, I guess I'll just go take my IE7 impressions elsewhere!
this will cure my adhd
This app is revolutionary in the design. It's not campy but the next generation. It's an upgrade from AI slop, perhaps "AI camp"? Like, people asked an AI for a million features, it gave them slop, but during camp they all figured it out and made it to the front page!
I also like the "breathing". This is probably nauseating for most people but I sort of do this while scrolling so I have my finger ready to swipe in between the seconds I read through the screen.
Now that you mentioned, "as highly conscious and self aware person", I observe the wave like up and down breathing effective, which I did not pay attention to while on the site, as a cost-effect. The interesting part is I am not always sure if I am actually waving from breathing, of if this is the illusion, and it was for half minute certainly both. This is the type of thing one remembers a decade afterwards.
I don't know if this is AI, it looks like it, but could well not be.
I believe this isn't "just fun" but having told the AI to not to make it work for meme effect on HN. Obviously AI could fix easily, including but not limited to the music itself.
This is nauseating. 10/10, no notes.
Knocked it out of the park with this one
I wish I had thought of this.
This feels like a fever dream.
The concept of Pitbull seems like fever dream.
This is too funny!! Dale!
I thought there must be another Mr. Worldwide I'm not familiar with. Nope, it's Pitbull ;)
I like it.
Unironically better than all the 'Another GPT Wrapper' apps that get submitted here.
Now I’m aware that a lot of Swedish people are into Pitbull.
A lot of people are into Pitbull.
A lot of people worldwide, one could say
Dude! Where are the DJ horn sound effects!?
This is so stupid I love it.
is the page breathing lollll
The bigger they are, the harder they fall (Yeah) This biggity boy's a diggity dog (Yeah) I have 'em like Miley Cyrus, clothes off Twerkin' in they bras and thongs (Timber) Face down, booty up (Timber) That's the way we like the what? (Timber) I'm slicker than an oil spill She say she won't, but I bet she will, timber
I came, I saw, I conquered
I saw, I conquered, I came
