Hi HN! A few friends and I tried playing the video game Artemis (the fully cooperative Spaceship Bridge Simulator) together over LAN. For some reason, we couldn't all connect to the same network, so we decided to try using some free tool that would let us join the same virtual LAN without too much configuration (me and one other person were the only technical ones, and we had to explain it to other people who deliberately don't feel like learning technical stuff). The problem was that since we had different platforms (some on Windows, some on Mac, some on GNU/Linux), we couldn't find…

Try it out on your WiFi: https://tapchat.com I’ve always been shocked at the fact that it’s easier to chat with someone on the other side of the world than with someone who is on the exact same WiFi as you. I think that is a shame because WiFi networks are essentially a bunch of existing micro-communities which your phone already automatically connects to. Think about how many other people have used or will use the same WiFi as you at home, school, work, or in public; and so far it has been practically impossible to chat or share pictures with them. After leaving my job earlier…

I always find myself frustrated by how many steps I have to take to video chat with someone online. There's always too much software to download and install, and too many accounts to remember. The high-end, high-price Cisco conferencing systems I've used are especially fragile. So I built Vidless in a weekend for myself, and I hope you find it useful too. Just create a room and share the link, and you'll be chatting in seconds. You can invite several people (I haven't really tested a max yet), and chats on Vidless are always private. Enjoy!

Hey HN! I’ve been learning about Multiplayer Game Networking to understand how clients and a server interact under different network conditions, similar to the classic demo by Gabriel Gambetta (if you haven't seen it, check it out https://www.gabrielgambetta.com/client-side-prediction-live-...). As part of this, I’ve been working on improving my own version of that demo: https://github.com/runawaytanks/demo Why I built this? I wanted to dive deeper into client-side prediction, network latency, and how to keep things in sync between the server and clients in…

I made a simple webservice to allow applications to be automatically aware of other users nearby. I made a demo of an HTML5 tankwars game to show it off. Play it here www.battlewith.me.uk Find the source code here https://github.com/fmstephe/location_server If anyone would be interested in using this to build something, mobile apps are the best target, give me a shout. I am very keen to see other people building on this.

I've been playing with cross platform windows/linux Kubernetes clusters recently and have had endless problems with installer scripts misconfiguring networking by using the wrong NIC etc. I got frustrated with the tooling on windows to debug container networking so I built a tool that attempts to stitch together the HNS (Host Network Service) & HCS (Host Compute Service) resources into a tree that shows the relationship between configs. You can also search over it to find the networking impacting your containers or launch the windows built in packet capture tool to create a network…
