Show HN: A fast, minimal daily horoscope site built with Next.js
dailyhoroscopes.runI built a simple daily horoscope site as a side project. Most sites I tried felt heavy and cluttered, so I wanted to see how lightweight and fast I could make one.

Loads under 1 second, even on slow connections
Mobile-first UI
Horoscope data pre-generated daily and served as static JSON

I’m curious:
Is it too minimal, or does it work as intended?
Would you find value in weekly/monthly readings?

For instance, many of the links don't work...
