Everest Drive – a multiplayer spaceship crew simulator in the browser
Hi HN! I'm working on an open-world multiplayer space sim with submarine-warfare-inspired combat. Crew a ship, haul cargo, run heists, hunt your foes with passive and active sensors. Browser-based, free, no install. Some of its features: - Submarine-style passive sensors. Contacts start as a bearing line (direction, no distance), resolve into an uncertainty circle, then into a full track. You triangulate over time by moving. - Silent running. Cut your emissions and witnesses can't ID you. - Newtonian flight. No drag, no auto-brake. Flip 180° and burn to stop. - Boarding combat. Dock with…
In plain words
Everest Drive is a free, browser-based multiplayer space simulator where players crew ships, transport cargo, conduct heists, and engage in combat. The game features submarine-style passive sensors that gradually reveal enemy positions, silent running modes to avoid detection, Newtonian physics without auto-braking, and boarding combat between docked vessels. Built with Rust and WebAssembly technology, it requires no installation and plays directly in the browser.

Hi HN! I'm working on an open-world multiplayer space sim with submarine-warfare-inspired combat. Crew a ship, haul cargo, run heists, hunt your foes with passive and active sensors. Browser-based, free, no install. Some of its features: - Submarine-style passive sensors. Contacts start as a bearing line (direction, no distance), resolve into an uncertainty circle, then into a full track. You triangulate over time by moving. - Silent running. Cut your emissions and witnesses can't ID you. - Newtonian flight. No drag, no auto-brake. Flip 180° and burn to stop. - Boarding combat. Dock with another ship and fight through it room by room. Architecture: - The server is a single Rust module compiled to WASM, running inside SpacetimeDB. - Clients subscribe to rows in the schema and get live deltas over websocket; writes go through reducers (transactional Rust functions). No REST, no custom netcode, no client-side authority. - Client is Svelte 5 + plain HTML5 canvas 2D. No game engine, no WebGL. https://imgur.com/a/V8cHrdd Very early, plenty of rough edges.

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
