#162I changed gears and moved into the video games industry at the end of 2021. I started developing a city builder called Metropolis 1998 [1], but wanted to take the genre in new directions, building on top of what modern games have to offer: - Watch what's happening inside buildings and design your own (optional) - Change demand to a per-business level - Bring the pixel art 3D render aesthetic back from the dead (e.g R…

Awesome to see your progress YesBox!
Didn't realise you'd swapped to isometric, it's looking fabulous!

#164Built a last-mile delivery/logistics management system to power deliveries for on-demand/hyperlocal services and launched it last year (mentioned it in another one of these threads last year)
To date it's handled more than 70k orders, ingested nearly 10m telemetry records, has been extremely reliable, is almost entirely self-contained (including the routing stack so no expensive mapping dependencies) and is very efficient on system resources.
It handles everything from real-time driver tracking, public order tracking links, finding suitable drivers for orders, batch push notifications for automatic order assignment, etc.

#166Been building https://textkit.dev/ for the past week.
It's a collection of 40 (and growing) tools for text processing, data cleaning, conversions, dev utils etc. Everything runs in the browser and is completely free.
Started this partly to learn SEO from scratch on a fresh domain, partly because i am lazy with regards to doing basic data cleaning using pandas and i found myself repeatedly using similar online tools that are completely riddled with ads.
I built this using Flask + Vanilla JS. I don't think there was any need to overcomplicate it. And for fun, i vibe coded a windows 95 desktop mode where all the tools open as draggable windows. https://textkit.dev/desktop

#167Hi! My name is Pablo. I’m a Product and UX Designer currently working on Maxxmod [1], a browser extension that gives users more control over the YouTube interface by reducing clutter, removing distractions, and adding features the platform doesn’t offer.
I’ve already completed the research, business model, competitive analysis, feature set, branding, and the full UI (40+ screens).
The MVP/V1 is currently in development. When the V1 is ready I’m planning to do a Show HN with this account.
It's my first product. Any feedback or questions are very welcome, even if it's just based on the idea and the screenshots on the site, since the product isn’t available to try yet.

#168I'm working on JRECC, a Java remotely executing caching compiler.
It's designed to integrate with Maven projects, to bring in the benefits of tools like Gradle and Bazel, where local and remote builds and tests share the same cache, and builds and tests are distributed over many machines. Cache hits greatly speed up large project builds, while also making it more reliable, since you're not potentially getting flaky test failures in your otherwise identical builds.

#169When I discovered that some local llama.cpp can OCR PDF images generated by TeX, I started to revisit literate programming defined by Donald Knuth and explore using PDF as the source of truth artifact (instead of Markdown or program source code itself) for LLM to consume.
I only got to the point of having code and data as \verbatim in \LaTeX. Next step is CWEB.
Here is an example (with C and Rust code in \verbatim)

The ultimate goal is machine and human readable proofs on algorithms.

#170One month ago, I purchased this small eink reader (Xteink 4) and I've been loving reading on that device. It made me read much more in the past month (already more than 50% through Fall or Dodge in Hell).
The stock firmware is horrible but the community has this firmware called CrossPoint. I wanted to be able to upload, manage files etc. from my iPhone on the go and also send over web articles. So I build this app CrossPoint Sync https://crosspointsync.com to do just that.
I've already published it on App Store and pending publishing on Android. The community is niche and has also been using the app, so its been fun building for my use and in turn also getting good feedback from community.
If you are using the Xteink and CrossPoint firmware, then give the app a try.
