I got tired of refreshing HN after I left a comment on a post, so I decided to make a Mac menu bar item app that shows your current karma, and also changes color (red / green) when…

Hah :) In my opinion / experience, AI copy is a generally more cumbersome to read and process. So I would assume a company at Series B stage would have a human (with marketing guid…

I'm always hesitant to assert something is definitely AI copy because everyone's tone of voice is different. I'm also starting to wonder how much real, human-made copy is mimicking…

A lot of the copy on this page feels like the kind of copy an AI would produce. But I’m assuming, surely, Zed writes their own copy so I don’t want to accuse them of doing that. Ma…

What are you supposed to do if you get stuck in a lift and you don't have your laptop (or zero cell signal for example)?

I wanted a scalable, reliable way to run website capture (capturing full MHTML archives) for design research and component research at Kenobi[0]. So I made Breamer , a way to autom…

Great to hear, thank you for sharing! Am considering getting one, but holding out until September because they haven't refreshed that particular device in a couple of years... I wa…

When I was learning to code at college, by myself (I did a Business degree), I bought a book on iOS development[0]. This book mandated that you type all the examples out line-by-li…

I've been thinking about getting a Remarkable... Really tough to choose between the Pro, the Pro Move, and the Pure. I would quite like colour (for doodling), and the price point o…

Thank you, jullls -- onboarding is something we're working on making more integrated like that!

Have you tried Work at a Startup? https://www.ycombinator.com/jobs You can apply for internship roles there (by configuring it in your profile).

I'm working on a daily puzzle game called Dozenal with my friend. https://dozenal.game We did a Show HN here in case you'd like to learn more: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=…

What are you working on and want to share your progress on or ideas about?

Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion! Chris (who makes the game with me) really wants audio too so perhaps this will be the impetus we needed :)

Neat! I think we'll be seeing more and more use-cases for creating tools (with AI and powered by AI) to visualise codebases now that we're spending less time "in" them. I made a pr…

Hello HN! We're Rory and Chris, and we've made a game called Dozenal[0], a grid-based number puzzle game where the objective is to use all the tiles on the board to create totals o…

As per sibling comment, I think my "old school" wording is getting misconstrued here. I did mean 20th-century "old school", i.e. typewriters... Is the Late Middle Ages considered "…

Sure... But overstriking takes more time and effort, which is why "--" was the convention.

Good point, but I think it's a little more complex than that. To my knowledge (and what I meant by "old school"), it was common to type a "--" dash on typewriters[0] because most o…

I too find it a pity that the em-dash has been co-opted by AI. I use a double-hyphen ("--", the old school way of writing it), but fear that this will also become used by AI seekin…

I was only thinking about Flight Control[0] the other day and how I wish there were more modern takes on it! There was Mini Metro[1], but that was released over a decade ago. -- [0…
