https://flopblock.com I had an idea for a puzzle game and learned some game programming to try it out. Only made it to scratch my own curiosity and was postively surprised how fun the process was. I got some of my friends hooked but other than that of course absolutely no one saw it. World is full of casual puzzles.

https://mmabetsharp.com A website to help make informed bets on the UFC. It presents a lot of relevant data if you're serious about MMA sports betting. I made this during the pandemic and tried to promote it through Reddit and Twitter, but it mostly fell flat and ran out of steam. I only scratched the surface of what I intended here. The data on the site is a bit outdated since neither I nor anyone has used it in a w…
Where do you collect the data from? Accurate sports data is generally hard to come by unless you pay for it.
A lightweight implementation of the “fullstack liveview” in Typescript. You can do initial contentful rendering and realtime DOM updates from the server over http and websocket with only 6.5K of js minified (22x smaller than react, 2.6x smaller than svelte).
It was inspired from the Phoenix Liveview but evolved to adopt TSX with explicit DOM updates with querySelectors (without vdom diff-ing).
Unlike most js frameworks, it is a starter template, not a package. So you’re free to modify and extend / trim it to better fit your need.
I (significantly) restored Palm/HP's webOS services, include the SDK, (partial) App Catalog, and a variety of proxied, re-created back-end services to keep devices like the Palm Pre and HP Touchpad functional: https://www.webosarchive.org

https://github.com/TrianguloY/UrlChecker URLCheck, an Android app to analyze urls before opening them. With clear urls module, pattern checker module, and a few more. It got a few points (29) when I posted the "it is now on f-droid" submission ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30256326 ) but that was it. I've been updating the app since too.
Feedback:
I've submitted some comments on GitHub, but I'll go ahead and include some more here:
- I'm not a fan of this UI; it seems both somewhat cluttered and small. I'm on tablet, fwiw. Consider a fullscreen UI with indicators for modules that can be activated by the current URL, rather than always showing all active modules. At the bottom of the screen, display either a grid or list of apps that can open this URL. This is better than hiding it away behind another tap. Perhaps have a toggle for whether the grid shows share to or open with?
- consider a list of queries that will always be automatically removed from URLs, without interaction. For example, any time I share an Amazon URL, I remove everything after the asin; it would be easier if this was automatic. However these automatically removed queries should be listed in the history, so the original URL can still be obtained.
- there's no option to remove hashes (#tag in the in-app example). Hashes are occasionally used with tracking as well, in combination with javascript.
- Only show the modules if they're able to do something. For example, if no referrers are found, don't display the settings for that. Same for labels, queries, etc.
- the pop-up goes away if I switch apps/open recents. Leaving it open would be nice.
- allow sharing URLs to the app. Not all apps make it easy to directly open URLs in another app (Firefox custom tabs, for example; I use Lynket to open custom tabs, and long-pressing a link only lets me share or copy the URL)
I wrote this post about how I made atariemailarchive.org: https://vikramoberoi.com/how-i-made-atariemailarchive-org/ . The whole project was fun, but I think the story behind it is neat too.

Looks useful. I currently use untrackme, unalix, and link eye (the older version for which source is no longer available, not the new one).

https://github.com/RhetTbull/osxphotos A macOS command-line "multi-tool" for working with Apple Photos. Allows you to export photos (along with all the metadata), batch-edit metadata such as times and timezones, explore the AI metadata Apple computes for each photo (but doesn't make available to the user) such as "well timed shot", "pleasant composition", etc, compare libraries, sync metadata between libraries, and m…
Your tool looks incredibly useful, will def keep for some batch date fixes I need to do.
https://yakubin.com/notes/comp/reserve-and-commit.html In-depth analysis of a memory allocation strategy, which allowed me to write an alternative to std::vector, which in my benchmarks performed better for all but a few workloads and on those few was competitive. I was exhausted after finishing it. It may have been too long for some folks though. No upvotes.
- Graphs of benchmark results would be neat to have. Remember to put the code and graphs as a sort of TL;DR in that blog post. - I skimmed the code; there's no clear instructions as to how I'd use it for my own projects. Perhaps work on a CMake / Autoconf config for a library build? - The repository itself might not have enough visibility due to being self hosted. While I do love self-hosting, maybe posting a read-only mirror on GitHub would bring in more exposure?
