Zero player game sounds interesting. Is this some kind of simulation?

it's an isometric civ game with a bunch of little game-AI agents who go about their days. It's like an aquarium or an ant farm, but with little AI people.

That looks very interesting. I suppose they keep running even when there is no visitor looking, so you come back the next day and they did all sort of things.

Are you planning to keep it for yourself or will we see a Show HN someday?

I'll probably share it if it gets anywhere - it's still early days for the project, but it'll be open source on https://github.com/ajeffrey/civarium

I would've said: 1) news.ycombinator.com, 2) hn.algolia.com, and 3) hn.premii.com

But putting aside HN and the 'typical' daily stuff like weather, transit, uh, 'private' stuff, etc.:

1. De Correspondent: a web-only subscription-based newspaper that has a pretty unique and very successful approach. Instead of the classical 'lots of news items as things unfold, hot off the press, and lots of barely rewritten AP feeds' model, it publishes fewer, longer, better-researched articles that provide more context. Basically, it tries to avoid the 'whims' of the day. It actively tries to center itself around the correspondents who get to write series on their area of expertise, and has done a very admirable job asking readers what they should be focusing on. And best of all, they're in the process of creating an English version of it. For now you'd have to learn Dutch for most of it.

2. tvcountdown.com: despite my resolve to watch less television, I still follow a bunch of shows and always forget when they air.

3. duolingo.com: currently learning Spanish. I'm shocked by how well the 'few minutes daily' approach works!

PS: hey HN overlords. I truly love this wonderful timesink here, but can we have markdown please!?!
