Hello everyone!

As it’s been not much of a secret anymore, Hyprperks has been a few months in the making, and now it’s all come together.

Hyprperks is now open to purchase to everyone!

If you want to support the development for 5€ + tax a month, and also get a few goodies from us, please check out the pricing page

You will get:

  • Member-only forum access, with dev Q&A, support from me, and more
  • Premium desktop experience, which is a set of preconfigured dotfiles with a one-click install and update
  • And of course, support the continued development.

If you don’t have a Hyprland Account yet, consider making one! It’s free, and gives you access to our public forums, where you can find answers, ask questions, and interact with the community.

Also, thank you for all the support, guys. You are awesome!

Cheers, vax.

Hey hey people, vax here.

I've seen the post about Hyprland Premium go a bit viral and people don't seem to understand fully what we're doing.

There is a reason no pages link to the account. subdomain, because it's a work in progress, after all. That's why wording is a bit lacking, that's why registrations are closed.

Anyways, here are some key takeaways:

Yes, it's real

It's the official website. I did not get hacked.

Hyprland is not going closed source

It says that in the first sentence on the page. No paid features, beta branches, etc. We continue development as always.

Why money

I need something to eat too. Once I end university, if I can't make this my full-time job, I will have to severely decrease my contributions in favor of a real job. If this gets us somewhere, it will be only with benefits to you, the users. If I get enough money to hire another guy to help me work on Hyprland full time, I will.

Forums:

Already on forum.hypr.land. To log in, you need a Hyprland Account, that's why we haven't "fully" launched them yet.

"Premium" Forums:

Additional categories on the same forum for premium subscribers - these include premium support (where you get answers from me instead of the community at large), Q&A with me, and some banter chats.

Desktop Experience:

Free desktop experience: Dotfiles provided by us, with one-click installs and updates.

Premium desktop experience: Same as above, but with more customization options. (dotfile customizations, e.g. "bar on what side", "what button where", etc, not Hyprland features)

"Further premium services":

A general catch-all clause if any premium services come out in the future, they will most likely just be a part of the premium subscription. This might be dotfile sync, or other ideas. We don't know yet, that's why we didn't say.

Cheers, happy Hyprlanding.

If containers are part of your work then you wouldn't buy a 8GB RAM unupgradable device anyway.

Well it helps that its open source & apple is actually encouraging contributions: https://github.com/apple/container

For instance, I can't download completely youtube pages with videos using wget, but can with pywb (though pywb has issues with sites like reddit).

Not that I would necessarily use it for youtube pages, but that's an example of a complex page with lots of AJAX.

It was a double-edged sword. While websites could honor it, it could also be abused as another data point for fingerprinting.

DNT was always just an honor system, and can be used as another data point for fingerprinting.

The only reason Mozilla still exists is because Google needs them to so Chrome can’t be a complete monopoly.

Yep this is exactly what I meant. Maybe I should've made that clear.

SimpleLogin premium, with their domain. But I can't blame them for not wanting to ruin the simplelogin.com domain
