Products that do what I Made a Christmas Quiz does
For the last couple of years I've created a Christmas quiz, which you can read about and play here: https://www.lloydatkinson.net/projects/2022/christmas-projec.... This year I created another quiz, this time general Christmas questions. Like last year the tech I used: - Astro - React - TypeScript - Framer Motion for the animation - A Netlify function that saves and loads the scoreboard from Azure Table Storage Unlike last year which was somewhat easy to cheat on by Googling, this time, the longer you take to answer a question the fewer points you get. I hope you…

Hi guys, We have just built Ultimategiftlists.com My girlfriend keeps asking me what I want for Christmas. I also need to buy stuff for my nephew. So I wrote a list of stuff out for my girlfriend and sent her an email of links showing her the stuff I wanted. I found that my brother did exactly the same to show me what I should get my nephews. There had to be a better way to do this. Amazon wishlist exists but it doesn't do it as effectively as I wanted. Therefore my mate and I built our new site - www.ultimategiftlists.com - it's hopefully very simple to use and has a really cool feature…

I started an experimental series, "console.solve", on mini javascript challenges a few months back and received good feedbacks on it. So I created a [second one](https://colintoh.com/console-solve/issue-2?utm_source=colint...) this month. Not sure anyone here will be interested as it's not exactly pro-level stuff. But if you have an hour to spare, it can be a good distraction. For those who are interested, here was the [first challenge](https://colintoh.com/console-solve/issue-1?utm_source=colint...).

After running a successful quiz night for my brother's birthday party, I thought it would be cool to create some sort of web app that makes it really easy for people to download quiz sheets to print so they can host quiz nights easier. I found a lot of sites that already provide this service to be way stuck in the 90s and were cluttered with way too much information - so my aim was to make it really simple and straight to the point. I did the design of the site (character was created by Pasquale D'Silva), question resources, branding, front end development etc. My friend @sesh handled all…

Hello HN, I had some christmas free time over the last two weeks (Merry Christmas btw ;-)) and used that time to completely recreate the website of my app[1]. I used all the fancy new tools. I didn't know some of them when I started. What was my goal? * Pretty website * Blazing fast * Mobile first * SSR * Webp support * Generally all the best website practices (high lighthouse score) What did I use? * Tailwindcss (https://tailwindcss.com/) * Tailwind Components (https://tailwindui.com/) * React (https://reactjs.org/) * ViteJs…

I wanted to make a cute game for Thanksgiving this year. It's built with React, Tailwind, InstantDB and a bit of Opus :) Feeling grateful for HN and sending good cheer to you all :)

I built this over the holiday break with my two girls (ages 6 and 8). You pilot a UFO and beam up humans, cows, cats, dogs, and sheep for points. They drew all the art while I talked to Claude Code to scaffold the game logic. The magic moment was watching my kids use voice dictation to talk directly to Claude Code. My 8-year-old asked for a "purpler" tractor beam and watched it change in real time. She wasn’t coding, but she _was_ driving: describing what she wanted, testing the result, and iterating fast. It was really cool to watch... later on she asked me what javascript was and we dug…

The idea of creating this site came to me when I was thinking of gifts to get family and friends for Christmas after a very exhausting work week. Getting Christmas gifts or gifts in general can be time consuming and mind draining if you are the type of person that likes to give thoughtful gifts and does not like to repeat gifts. I decided to compile data of key points like gender, age group, hobbies, favorite things, favorite sports etc of the person receiving the gift, so as to suggest several gifts the receiver is most likely to love. Since I wanted to share this with others that might…

I built a website for games that catch my eye or have something interesting going on. I made it for fun but then updating became a habit. Maybe you'll find your next "must-play" game here? GitHub repo: https://github.com/RaycatWhoDat/games-list

Show HN: I crafted the simplest way to Gift Bitcoin this Christmas The link is: www.spreadthecoin.com For the past two weeks, I have been building a Bitcoin Christmas(/Happy Holidays) Card company --> and it has just launched (today) at www.spreadthecoin.com . The "Certificate" makes it easy for Bitcoiners to give their friends and family their first Bitcoin (with suggestions on how to spend/use it)! It is meant to play-well with home-printers and can suffice as a last-minute gift idea. I think that Christmas morning/Hanukkah is an excellent opportunity to gift coins to…

I wrote a seasonal iPhone app this year, and I thought the crowd here at HN may enjoy it, since it is all about engineering and physics. It's free too, which is always a good thing, right? http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/santas-engineer/id465563485?mt=8

Here is the link: http://www.wikihowtodo.com I know a lot of geeks share the same dream -- build the next kick-ass todo-list/project management system. So do I. However, as I was quite positive that my web development skill is worse than 99% of developers' in this community, I decided to build something simple, useless but unique. So I built this. Basically it's a Wikihow scraper, nothing more. It gives you a place to store interesting Wikihow articles and yes, they are converted into todo lists. I know this site is not that good, but I still need your guys' feedback. For example, as I am a…

Me and my boyfriend are making a puzzle game together. The goal of the game is to follow a specific pattern by moving around in a grid. Since we are both web developers, we chose to do it in React and Typescript rather than a game engine. We will release it on Steam in November, using Electron to package the app as a desktop executable. Not sure if it has saved us time to do it in React, but we didn't feel like learning a new tool and it has worked really well! I thought making a game would take a lot of time, but we started in December so we will finish this project in less than a year. And…

Hi there! I made a project for pure joy called Indieseas.net. I made it because I disliked how search engines completely ignore smaller websites, prioritizing ads and businesses. That said, I decided to make my very own search engine! But, how could I keep business websites outside the system? The solution were 88x31 buttons. These are images or gifs that were used back in the days to connect websites between eachother. This was useful because search engines weren't very bad in the times. Thankfully, people still use them a lot nowadays! So, I whipped up a program in Typescript using Bun…
