I literally could not see the content of the front page because it was wall to wall advertisements.

I presume the ad spammers spammed it onto the front page of HN to pump up the ad views.

    It looks like a legit open source project. Strange that you would see any ads on it. I see zero ads but I also have uBlock.

    Edit: I just opened it with ads. Looks like a basic ad setup, but there are a few places where the ads are inserted on the page. Looks a bit excessive but maybe some of them are supposed to be smaller ads instead of big header ads like we see. It could be a typo in their template or something.

    Why would anyone browse the internet without a blocker?

      Because my workstation for a $corp doesn't allow ad blockers?

        Insane. Terrible security.

      I believe in advertising - it pays for much of the internet.

I used it a decade ago and it was fine. Now I need a proper dezint library for Python that reads all those barcodes from images…
