What it does
No Write is a minimalist browser-based writing game where the only rule is: don’t stop typing. You're given a timer. It ticks down as long as you’re typing. Stop — even for a few seconds — and the countdown freezes. Wait a little too long? Game over.

- NFNowrite.fun – If you stop typing, your text disappears2025 · nowrite.fun · ▲23
Hey HN, I built a small experimental writing tool called nowrite.fun. The concept is brutally simple: You set a timer (e.g. 5 minutes), start writing — and if you stop typing, your text vanishes. No drafts, no recovery, no forgiveness. Inspired by apps like Write or Die, but rebuilt from scratch with a lightweight stack: Deno + TypeScript, XState, anime.js, and canvas-confetti. Hosted on Deno Deploy. It’s a tool for short, focused writing sprints — a tweet, a blog paragraph, a newsletter blurb. Keep typing → you win. Hesitate → it’s gone. It’s minimal, a bit stressful, and surprisingly…

Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
