MovePlay
Hi HN! I’m excited to share something I’ve been working on: MovePlay, an app that turns screen time into action time. With MovePlay, kids don’t just sit and swipe — they jump, run, and move to play games. Using the device’s camera, the app recognizes and responds to their movements, turning passive screen time into active play. I originally built it for my daughters. They really like playing games, but I didn’t want them spending all their time sitting on the couch. I wanted to see if I could make something fun that would get them moving instead. MovePlay is built for iOS and Mac using…

Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Autism Simulator▲779Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
