Counting Tap Toy

In plain words

Counting Tap Toy is an interactive app where users tap aquatic creatures to practice counting, with numbers displayed and spoken aloud. Created to help young children learn number sequences, particularly addressing the tendency to skip 14, the app features colorful creatures, songs, and sound effects. It is designed for preschoolers learning to count but offers a relaxing tapping experience for users of any age.

Counting Tap Toy - Learn to count by tapping fish

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN! This is a project I made for my 3-year-old who always skips “14” when counting. In Counting Tap Toy, you can tap to count various aquatic creatures. The count is displayed and announced. My hope is that seeing and hearing the numbers will reinforce 14’s existence. I find tapping all the fish while listening to…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi 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. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Tetris in a PDF▲1,289

  I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…

  I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!
