I’m building a daily word puzzle game with a twist! In Tiled Words you rearrange tiles to solve clues and rebuild a broken crossword. You can play a demo at https://tiledwords.com - it’s free and web based so it works on whatever device you’ve got. I’ll be officially launching on October 19th at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. You can sign up to be notified on launch. Starting then there will be a new puzzle every da…

The UX is phenomenal. Easily in the top 1% of daily word puzzles. Love the concept, I'm sure it will do well at your launch!!

This is such a nice comment, and I only checked out the website because of your comment! I am glad I did. Indeed a spectacular puzzle.

Currently a one-man side project: https://laboratory.love Last year PlasticList discovered that 86% of food products they tested contain plastic chemicals—including 100% of baby food tested. The EU just lowered their "safe" BPA limit by 20,000x. Meanwhile, the FDA allows levels 100x higher than what Europe considers safe. This seemed like a solvable problem. Laboratory.love lets you crowdfund independent testing of s…

This is so incredibly important, well done. The problem of our food being steeped in plastic hits the news here and there, but it should be front and center in my opinion. Testosterone has been plummeting for decades and it scares the heck out of me. The hormone whose job is "form goals, shrug off failure, and try again!" is being destroyed and corporations are given a free pass to pump us full of phthalates and bisp…

Theres a cheaper and more pragmatic solution to this. Just inject T lol.

just bought the milliondollargpt.com and have no idea what to do with it...

For now, I think it would be funny if you put plaintext that says "just bought the milliondollargpt.com and have no idea what to do with it...". Optionally as a hyperlink to your comment I am replying to.

Edit: Spelling

Can you talk a bit about the tech stack?

I'm working on character.ai for learning Chinese, you chat with characters at your level, and get instant feedback on your writing. It's a way to get a wide amount of comprehensible input in an engaging way that also practices output. https://koucai.chat

This is really cool, I'm interested in this as I'm also a chinese learner and I thought about doing sometihng kinda similar (just locally)

I like the UI, really cool project.

I think the prompting might need more work to make it natural though. I just tried a "hungover chat with 996" worker, and the responses seemed to be lacking a little too much context

Full-time indie dev breathing life into next-gen terminals [0]. This is my lifelong career ambition. If you can't afford early access, please email me and I'll grant you a free copy: I need all the feedback I can get! [0] https://terminal.click

As someone who's curious (I see lots of room for improvement in terminals!), I can't tell what this does from the website, other than the ability to load and view 3d models.

Ah right, that’s just the “wow factor” hook. If you scroll down a smidge you’ll see a 3-minute video trailer.

The Media page also has a 15-minute demo comparing Terminal Click against suckless.

Of course I just need to do a better job telling you what we’re all about without the need to watch videos.

I got a dumb phone. Been messing around with setting a phone number to call to get SMS directions and things of that sort. Then I wanted to build my own phone so I got a LTE module and been messing around with that.

About the first part, I am working on something similar for myself. If you want an api to get SMS for free, without needing any 10dlc stuff, check out groupme, which supports SMS.

What would be a good strategy to prevent companies from cottoning on to this and gaming the system? They could for example change packaging on production runs for a product that’s undergoing laboratory.love funding campaign.

My suspicion is if this was gameable, this would be a solved problem by a number of companies. The truth is there is no single simple or even hard step to take, it’s mostly like numerous steps that multiple actors would need to do.
