  Rubber DuckNov 2025 · tryrubberduck.com · ▲354

  Hi everyone! I'm the maker of Rubber Duck. After shipping iOS apps, I realized how unpredictable App Store review can be. Even great apps get rejected for: missing metadata, small UI issues, broken flows on certain iPhone models, forgotten privacy entries, one-off crashes Apple found and many more. Each rejection set the launch back days. So I built Rubber Duck to be the “review before the review.” It combines automated checks with human testers using real iPhones like an App Store reviewer, but faster and kinder.

  Pipes puzzle (a.k.a. Net) on a hexagonal grid▲537

  Hello, HN - I wanted to share this puzzle game I made during my vacation. I'm rather fond of the pipes puzzle where your goal is to restore a scrambled network of connections by rotating tiles. It's usually played on a grid of squares and this all started when I decided to make a programmatic solver for that kind of puzzle. Then I realized that with some minor changes the solver could generate new puzzle instances. I thought about what kind of puzzle to make and someone suggested a hexagonal grid. Adapting the generator wasn't too hard but then I had to create a way to play this variant. So…
