What it does

Bounced off a Python tutorial? The problem probably was not you. Most start with syntax. FlowState Logic starts with a scene: O.B. is in his cave, the torch is lit, his pouch holds 7 crystals. You work out what happens, then see the explanation, the trace, the pseudocode, and finally the Python. 49 lessons across 10 chapters, sequencing through dictionaries. Free, no setup.

Finished Scratch but not ready for Python? Learn how loops, conditions and variables actually work before writing a line of syntax. Free in your browser.

Scratch already had you repeating steps and making decisions - you just never had to call it that. Then Python shows up and buries all of it under colons, indentation, and quote marks. FlowState Logic is the step in between: you work out the logic first in a game world, and the real Python shows up at the end, already making sense. 10 chapters, 49 lessons, free to learn. Scratch already taught you sequence, repetition, and branching - you just didn't call it that. Your logic isn't the problem. What comes next is. We wrote up the whole thing, including the options that aren't ours: What comes after Scratch? Everyone says "just learn Python now." But your first Python lesson spends all its…from cinderwayinteractive.com

    Flowcode – Turing-complete visual programming platform2025 · app.getflowcode.io · ▲176

    Hey HN! I’m Gabriel, and I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on for the last few years. Flowcode is a visual programming platform that tries to combine the best of both worlds (code and visual). Over the years I found myself repeatedly drawing architectures and logic. It was always my dream to just press “run” instead of having to write them in code afterwards. But none of the visual tools I found were flexible and transparent enough for building real products. I think that visual programming fits perfectly with modern backend dev tasks that revolve around connecting different…

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
