In plain words
Fairlane is a take-home test tool designed for coding interviews. Built by someone frustrated with the stress of traditional interview formats, it provides an alternative assessment approach. The platform is aimed at developers and hiring teams looking for a less anxiety-inducing way to evaluate technical skills. By shifting interviews to a take-home format, Fairlane allows candidates to complete coding assessments in their own environment and on their own schedule.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.

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.

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!
