My sideproject - The javascript is free, but the backend will cost you.

hi all, I've always wanted to make my own game, but couldn't afford a thousand-dollar adobe (flash+photoshop) license. I'm not a talented programmer, have no degree in CS. But I understand some elements of design. So I got me a copy of ImpactJS, and after about 5 months of steep learning curve (at least for me), I managed to come up with a game. I also integrated it with a highscore and badge system, similar to what you get at Kongregate. You need to login with Google/OpenID to earn badges/scores. link is: http://www.hotbazooka.com/privatejoe hope to hear some feedback/questions from you guys!

Hi all, I'm currently validating an idea for a new BaaS solution which will allow you to build and host a web app backend without writing a single line of code. The app is called BackendLab and the landing page is here: https://www.backendlab.app/ The idea is that it allows you to define your database models by specifying what fields to include and BackendLab automatically creates a CRUD API which you can start using straight away. We've just launched the public beta and are looking for early adopters (free of charge, just looking for some feedback on the tool) Looking forward…

Hello HN. This is a project me and some friends built at university in 2017. It was originally built in a rush, but we've added a few improvements over the years. It's a fun game to host at a demoparty and project on a big screen - We did that at Instanssi many times. The implementation is still rough, and suffers from the fast pace of the modern web - The frontend is likely very outdated, and the backend is built with Vapor 2 and Swift 3.1, both no longer supported. You can host this yourself, but it might be a bit of a pain to set up. The WebSocket protocol is fairly trivial to work out…

Hi HN, I built https://mergejpg.me – a client-side image merging tool that combines multiple JPG images directly in your browser without any server uploads. The Problem: Most image editing tools require uploading your photos to remote servers, which raises privacy concerns for sensitive documents, business presentations, or personal images. The Solution: Complete client-side processing using modern browser APIs. Your images never leave your device. Technical Details: - Built with Next.js 15 and TypeScript - Uses HTML5 Canvas API for image manipulation - Progressive loading for…
