Posted a game here I made a few months back: https://reach-100.com It’s pretty hard. Some people have found solutions but even knowing how to solve it, it remains pretty hard to complete. Hope you’ll enjoy it a second time :)
A tiny, single-header -like 2D rasterizer for C++
More detail -- This is an STB-style single-header C++ library with no dependencies beyond the standard C++ library. In about 2300 lines of 78-column code (not counting blanks or comments), or 1300 semicolons, it implements an API based on the basic W3C specification to draw 2D vector graphics into an image buffer:
- Strokes and fills (with antialiasing and gamma-correct blending)
- Linear and radial gradients
- Patterns (with repeat modes and bi-cubic resampling)
- Line caps and line joins (handling high curvature)
- Dash patterns and dash offsets
- Transforms
- Lines, quadratic and cubic Beziers, arcs, and rectangles
- Text (very basic, but does its own TTF font file parsing!)
- Raster images (i.e., sprites)
- Clipping (via masking)
- Compositing modes (Porter-Duff)
- Drop shadows with Gaussian blurs
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Cool! Personally, I have set reminders to reach out to friends and family on my phone. I can therefore relate. The landing page communicates the honest intent behind this very well! If I were to use your product, I wouldn’t want to cycle through canned messages. Do you plan on making this truly AI-powered? That would be a game changer. Let your app draft both kind messages and responses, and allow the user to review…
I appreciate the feedback! I'm mostly using heuristics now to make determinations as my experiments found machine learning/AI to be too artificial and not very intelligent. Perhaps I just need more data to work with!
Dollero - https://dollero.app/ I created a personal budgeting web app which doesn't store any of your financial information in the cloud. Instead your budget data is stored locally in your browser with IndexedDB and is sync'd peer to peer with your other devices using WebRTC.
Did you start creating this after YNAB launched their higher prices or what was the impetus?
I have my doubts about there not being a dedicated app on the phone. The most important feature of YNAB is being able to easily add transactions and since you are going the route of no automated import, manual transaction adding from mobile will be CRITICAL to get perfect.
YNAB's solution is really, really good in that space. How does yours compare?
It's a programming language I created after frustration with TypeScript and Elm, in order to write better type-safe code in a functional manner. There's seemless interop between Derw and TS/JS, making it more useful for working with TS codebases than Elm. It's quite production ready though there are a few things left to implement, but so far there's features like:
- A formatter
- A test framework
- A benchmarking framework
- A web framework for writing apps
- VScode extensions
- Type checking
- Output generation for TS, JS, English, Derw and Elm
- A Gitbook: https://docs.derw-lang.com/
I also have a very active blog where I write about Derw or programming in general: https://derw.substack.com/ and the Twitter for staying up to date is https://twitter.com/derwlang
IPyflow is a new Python kernel for JupyterLab that understands how variables and cells depend on each other, making it easier to reason about notebook state. It adds opt-in reactivity, so that pressing ctrl+shift+enter triggers execution of all cells that depend (recursively) on the current cell. Furthermore, with its `code` function, you can see exactly what code is needed to reproduce a given variable. I started working on it after watching the famous talk "I Don't Like Notebooks" by Joel Grus, and, anecdotally, I like notebooks just a little more when I use this kernel :)
My friend from time to time makes some really cool project, then he posts it on HN and gets zero traction. His submission page [1] looks so ridiculous now, that I joke that his next submission would look like “Show HN: I created a true AGI running on my analog wristwatch (3 points, 0 comments)”.

I think his descriptions need work though.
You know it got some good traction in this submission? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34215665

+1 for the above comment. I'd consider paying the upgrade for that feature.
It takes your git repo and generates a beautiful visual representation of the actual code that's in it. Sort of an alternative navigation tool (in addition to IDEs) for large codebases. You can run codeatlas as part of your CI with our Github Action (https://github.com/codeatlasHQ/codebase-visualizer-action).
We made this because grokking complex software projects is really difficult and we've found that a visual overview of what's in a codebase can be quite helpful to get started.
E.g. checkout https://codeatlas.dev/gallery/kubernetes/kubernetes for the generated visualisation of the Kubernetes Github repo!
We slowed down active development after our initial attempts at dissemination didn't really go anywhere (bragging about side projects on the internet, ugh), but would still love feedback on whether this is possibly useful to anyone else!
Note: The site works somewhat on mobile, but is much better on desktop!
