In plain words

Kung Fu Chess is a turn-based strategy game with a twist: all pieces move simultaneously in real-time instead of alternating turns. Players control traditional chess pieces that fight across the board, combining tactical planning with quick reflexes. The game is available through its GitHub repository. It's designed for anyone interested in a faster-paced alternative to conventional chess that emphasizes simultaneous action and immediate decision-making.

    Laser, a new game played on a chess board2023 · playlaser.xyz · ▲218

    Laser is a turn based game similar to chess, with different piece movement rules, starting position, and win conditions. It's named after the laser piece, which can shoot diagonally through every piece on the board except for the wall, which blocks it. The detailed rules are on the website. I made the website as a super minimal way to play online against friends. Nobody really knows about it so it might be hard to find a game, but maybe you will against someone on HN if people read this. It uses the lichess.org chessboard UI which is super pretty and allows you to draw on the board, make…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
