I've seen at least 3 clones of this exact type of website on the front page in like the past month

this is not clones. the old Sites are html/php.Different stack, different UX focus — Next.js app vs the older PHP tools. Not trying to replace, just built a simpler, free, ad-free version for people who aren't security researchers.

i tried to open and Funny enough — that site is throwing an SSL error right now (ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR). Whatever slop is, broken SSL on launch day isn't a great look either way.

That's Vercel for you I guess.

		More likely a misconfigured custom domain than Vercel itself. Their default *.vercel.app deployments handle SSL automatically. But fair, plenty of half-finished launches out there either way.
