We're (re) building MathBreakers.com, a math game sandbox/platform. It's built on Node/PlayCanvas and is a full 3D game engine including our unique math-based primitives and triggers/cinematic system (similar to Unreal's).

We make math a joy to play with and spark wonder through experience.

Prime numbers literally come to life, sprouting legs and personalities, as signals from the spirit world animate them; but when your best friend is portaled to the spirit world and NullCorp tried to shut down all research, you find yourself battling and puzzle-solving across a myriad of landscapes to bridge the two worlds and get your friend back.

Tests are ongoing! Reach out if you want to take a dip into our infinite universe.

I'm sick of AI slop, and decided to do something about it.

Even with Fable I'm still seeing wrong but plausible answers, which are the worst kind imo.

AGENTS.md didn't quite give me the right boost either, so here's my flow:

1. Asking 2 new sessions to review what I built in my other session along with guides/standards* 2. Having a third session judge the first two. It dedupes, and does a good job of only surfacing the important stuff 3. Ask it to make edits, etc.

Some missing parts that I've been finding improve review are: - current/past session context - indexed codebase - PRs/git history - research/guides/3rd party context*

I had been running this on my own for a long time, and just started to turn it into a product. It's free right now, would love any feedback (roast me). Looking forward to catching some bugs for you guys.

Thanks for reading!

* OWASP, Google Code Review, etc

I am working on Aphorio. It’s a web server and container manager plus dashboard for managing resources and more.

On my local desktop the WebSockets can send messages at a speed of 3,250,000 per second. It’s just TypeScript and Node.js with very few dependencies. It comes with a perf tool.

An iOS app that tells you which of your credit cards to use at any store. The part that turned out interesting is getting your targeted bank offers (Amex Offers, Chase Offers etc) without a bank login: a Safari extension reads the offers page you're already signed into in your own browser session, and can tap all the little "add to card" buttons for you. Chase renders theirs inside shadow DOM in a virtualized grid so only the visible tiles exist in the DOM at any moment, which made scraping it way more annoying than it had any right to be. Solo project, about a year in.

Hi! What’s the name of the app? Sounds great

A simple browser extension that makes reading comments pages like this one much easier: clearly marks new threads (and threads with new child comments) since last opened, and makes collapsing / uncollapsing threads easier and prettier: https://github.com/bachmitre/hacker-news-comments

This is a good idea, if you like top-level comments, also check out HackerBrain.

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/588721-hackerbrain-sidebar... (user-script created 2 weeks ago)

Comment reading is done with a sidebar from the listing pages without needing to go to individual item pages.

I'm working on https://sndlnk.io, a website that allows you to paste in a sharing link from any streaming service and get back a universal link that works with all of them.

It's for those moments where you need to share something and you don't know which steaming service your friend uses. Or maybe for a group chat or social media post where people use different services.

It works with video games too!

I'm working on https://wireplug.org : wireplug lets you create mesh VPNs using standard WireGuard. Your wg config files stay almost the same, except you no longer have to specify an `Endpoint` for your peers. Instead, wireplug detects all your possible endpoints (including LAN) and coordinates them with your peers for you. It handles NAT traversal and works with the in-kernel WireGuard driver on Linux and OpenBSD. Th…

Sounds interesting. Tailscale without handing off key management?

Lapse (lapse.in) – a little memory space for my AI agents I kept losing thoughts. An idea would show up while walking, half a sentence before falling asleep, some random connection I knew I’d want later — and by the time I found the right app to write it down, it was gone. So I built Lapse for myself. It’s a memory layer that my AI agents can read from and write to. I can talk to it, dump a thought, or send it someth…

This looks very cool, will most likely check it out!
