In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN, this is our weird little soccer + chess daily puzzle game. The puzzle generation (and the rest of the backend) is written in C#/Razor, and the frontend is a mix of Pixi.js and regular web stuff. The game has kind of a strange structure, where each puzzle represents a match that took place in an imaginary…

  Term.everything – Run any GUI app in the terminal▲1,094

  I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input&#x2F;output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

  I recreated Windows XP as my portfolio▲1,032

  Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me.

Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
