The failed startup Paul Graham did before the one that took off. It was putting art galleries online. Obviously you’re different, but it was close enough to make me laugh. Someone replied to me with the story.

Looks like you've made the first Artix reference on HN in 7 years:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

(The name has since been used for a Linux distro and a FPGA board, but HN Search supports omitting terms.)

A revived link to the site made pg go "Holy shit." in 2007. That doesn't happen often either:

Whilst searching, I ran across another Artix ("In 2002 I created the original AdventureQuest"). Also cool!

That’s nuts. I would have taken 50 to 1 odds that it wasn’t that long.

To me, this proves that HN isn’t really full of pg fanboys. It’s like knowing the flop album an artist released before their first hit.
