Hi HN! I'm the developer of rdx, a mildly popular ad-free, privacy and user friendly Reddit client. This time, I made something for a very specific use case: solving chess puzzles with no internet. Why? Well, my Wi-Fi is terrible in the bathroom—and that's where I do some of my best thinking. I tried printing out “mate in X” puzzles to solve offline, but they weren’t fun without interaction. So I built OffChess. OffChess is an iPhone/Android app that contains over 100,000 chess puzzles, fully offline and completely ad-free. You can solve puzzles by category (Mate in…

Hey everyone, I have been trying to build a terminal based app for sometime now and this is an attempt at trying to build a chess app that one can play right inside terminal. I was inspired by `chess-tui`[1] which is a rust based project and was looking to build something similar using python. Luckily I stumbled upon textual[2] recently and it made my task of building this far more easier than I thought.

Hey I am Ben and I have built a slack app for scrum poker (slack.thisiseffort.io). You can anonymously vote on software development tasks within slack, it is used by a few remote software developments teams currently and I am keen for more feedback. It is very easy to start a voting session using the /effort command, followed by the title of your task. This then invites everyone in the channel to start voting anonymously, ensuring that no one influences anyone else. Really keen for more feedback and it is also free to use! Enjoy. Ben
