  Blue Divide – Nurikabe puzzles with procgen islands for Mac and iPadNov 2025 · apps.apple.com · ▲6

  Hi HN, I made a small game in Swift to visualize Nurikabe puzzles in 3D, using SceneKit and Metal shaders with some SwiftUI on top for buttons and hints. It's currently available for free in App Store. I've tried generating islands like this a few times before, where the whole board is just one big mesh, but I struggled with the shorelines (especially in corners) and also to make the islands somewhat unique and interesting. This time I got inspired by Oskar Stålbergs "dual grid" approach (https://x.com/OskSta/status/1448248658865049605) which made it a lot easier I…

  After 2.5 years on my side project, it has hit £500/month revenue▲647

  It's been a long slow hog and I almost gave up a few times (more than a few) but when covid hit this year it gave me some time to really focus on my product. There were stupid user journey things that I knew needed fixed. There were some features I knew needed added. And I knew the pricing was wrong. I spent some hardcore time working on these things back in March / April and since then my MRR has continued to grow. My product is SongBox (https://songbox.rocks) - it's an alternative to things like bandcamp and soundcloud for creators who need to share audio files privately.…
