How Difficult Is It?

I created a website/app for rating the difficulty of video games. Difficulty is subjective and I was tired of solving the riddle of the sphinx every time I wanted to know if a game was difficult or not. Individual comments on reddit, twitter, or a steam page are not easy to gauge. You don't know the prior gaming experience of any individual player. I'm hoping that with enough volume, aggregate ratings will give a much better picture of a game's difficulty.

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
