Banish for Safari

What it does

I was annoyed by the "Open in App" popups on sites like Reddit and Twitter so I made a Safari Extension to remove them. Sometimes they're just nuisances, but sometimes they completely block the page. You shouldn't have to use the app if you don't want to.

Download Banish - Block

I HATE popups and I HATE ads. To be honest, I'm not really noticing much of a difference after a couple of days with Banish. Mostly, I see "login" popups on sites such as forums, social media, etc.. You know, the popups that happen after you scroll a bit and are in the middle of reading something. Disabling Java temporarily in Safari will kill the ads, but this also kills most websites or changes the layout drastically.Hopefully this is because I'm on iPadOS 16.1.1 and maybe a future update to Banish will help. I only surf on an iPad and with Safari. I would pay much more than three bucks for an anti ad/anti-popup extension that is Safari-centric and continuously updated. The market is ripe…from apps.apple.com

  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…
