I feel like we'd be better off if we just stopped at chatbots...why are we so eager to make the internet even more botted

> I'm not sure why anybody would generate UUIDs in browsers though, it seems to defeat the purpose. How about for offline-first apps?

Nice game. My results for the day: The hedge fund one really got me. The sounds fit nicely but a way to turn them off quickly from the menu could be nice. I couldn't find an option for that. Not a big deal though. How'd you design

I mean isn't that what show HN is for? Plus wasn't just hype, I was generally interested in getting more info on the SEO side of this project. I've had a lot of nice people try out my own projects and leave comments in the pa

Nice and simple. Might just be me but a way to move groups of tiles on the board could be helpful, I accidentally started building too low down and had to move everything at one point.

Interesting idea. Since it costs (at the moment) less than a dollar to post a message, does that still work well with Stripe? I'm always a bit worried about making super low priced services myself with Stripe, mainly cause I've he

Great idea man, must be pulling in some good SEO traffic as well.

Really cool. Makes me excited to see other uses for smart glasses in the future.

That's really neat. I think it would be a lot more popular if there were more locations we could draw on, but I get why it takes time to add new ones. Makes me wonder if something similar to this exists but just more of a "draw al

Wow really nicely built site and great story behind it. I'd imagine you didn't just publish it in 2017 and magically start gaining traffic. Any good marketing tips learned along the way? It must've been tough at first since t

This is a cool idea, I think I'll do the same thing for my own project once it's released. Great way to show all the small improvements our brains find when we spend enough time staring at something.

I first read this blog post about a year ago I think. It was a bit after I started developing my own personal productivity app. It got me really excited because my philosophy is extremely similar, and it seems to resonate with people. I&#x2

Good game! Nice little touches on the website too like the tray at the bottom and the header click easter egg.

Nice idea, Expo looks neat too. You designed the website and apps with it?

This is funny because a while back I was looking at all of my Mario games on the Switch and noticed that, of them all, only 1 title had a different color scheme for the word Mario. I thought that was really interesting, but never looked int

Quick fun. Not sure if this was a bug though: I got to the O'Neill Cylinder stage and then stopped playing for a bit (closed the tab). Came back today and played some more, and when I bought another cylinder, the "buy an online ad

This is awesome. Super fun, love the look. One thing: I wish there was a way to quickly reset to the top of a chairlift (map maybe?) or set a session and easily teleport back to it. Reason is, I took the sunshine chair (I think its called t

Hey, thanks for reporting. I could fix this by giving Mathic its own manifest.json file, but I'm a bit hesitant. I'm hoping to build Worchle into a home for a variety of search-style games, so having the PWA open to the home page

Thanks for checking out the update and getting back to me. That's very odd — the only way the Magic Number should get into the 20s (on addition mode at least) is if you have longer equations enabled in the settings. Glad it's not

Hey, just wanted to let you know I took your suggestion and added a "focus number" setting. Feel free to check it out and let me know if that's the kind of thing you were looking for. Multiple game modes have been added as we

Hey, thank you! Just added lives and zen game mode, as well as a timer+ game mode that's a bit more forgiving. Let me know if you notice any issues. What did you have in mind for a leveling up mechanic? Might be a cool idea.

by dylanhouli 2y ago
Ya thinking of adding this. For the moment I just made it so operators can't be highlighted at all, making it more clear that it's the numbers that need to be tapped (since equations can't start or end with an operator)

Hey, thanks for the feedback! For the sizing, try the grid size and counter text size options in the game settings. You can also change the grid dimensions to better fit your screen (or add some difficulty)! Adding slide gestures is on the

Hey, thanks again for your feedback. Just wanted to let you know "lives" mode is now live, along with some other modes.
