Hi HN! I made many small web games in the past with Unity or Phaser. But this time I wanted to make something completely on my own. So I coded a basic game framework in plain JavaScript, and used it to make Almost Pong. This was a really fun project that taught me a lot about JavaScript, and I plan to make more minimalist games with this framework. Interesting fact: Almost Pong doesn't load any assets, all sprites and sounds are generated with code. Happy to answer questions, and please let me know if you have any feedback on the game. Thanks!

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Owl Browser▲145I've been working on browser automation infrastructure for a while and kept hitting the same ceiling: Playwright and Puppeteer are great for scripting but fall apart when you need stealth at scale. Cloud-based solutions like Browserbase work but you're sending all your data to a third party and can't control the environment. So we built Owl Browser, a self-hosted Chromium-based engine that runs in a single Docker container. The core technical problem we tried to solve was fingerprint consistency. Most browser automation tools either ignore fingerprinting entirely or apply surface-level…

Hey HN! As a geriatric Millennial, I used to spend an ungodly amount of time hanging around IRC and discovering sites on the old web. During the Pandemic, I got into hanging around standup comedy hangouts in VRChat. Taking friends to visit a virtual Mcdonald's[1] or joining a Karaoke party in a Minecraft world[2] brought back that sense of rapport and presence (multiplied by 1000) from my IRC days. Problem is, finding any of this content is extremely difficult. Most of it is locked inside native apps and isn't semantically relevant to Google (I could never imagine there are tons of people…

Hey HN! I've been hacking on a project and figured I'd share it with the community. CrowdView is a search engine for niche forums and message boards (MetaFilter, HN, Reddit, and 3000+ forums). Like many of you, I find Google results to be full of SEO spam and have resorted to adding "site:reddit.com" or "site:news.ycombinator.com" to all my queries (since 2015!). Otherwise, it's really hard to figure out "what does a genuine, real life human think about this thing?". But limiting my results to just Reddit isn't ideal because so much great content exists elsewhere. Lots of great information…

Hi HN: I’m Saga, co-founder of Timmerse https://timmerse.com. We are a customizable 3D immersive real-time interactions platform.The reason for not wanting to call ourself metaverse is similar to Apple, it is hard to define what it is and what it is not, Apple calls Vision Pro a spatial computing device, This is a practical product, and we hope our platform can also provide real experience to users. Our product originates from YC W22, initially indeed inspired by [gather.town](http://gather.town/). Our engineers have a rich 3D foundation, so we hope to implement a 3D…
