What it does
I built a tool for visualizing internet stability. It sends packets via WebRTC to measure Ping, Jitter, and Packet Loss in real-time. I built the visualization using a Canvas to render the "Ping Line" so you can spot spikes and lost packets. It runs entirely in the browser, up to 24 hours test possible. Includes PNG and raw data export (CSV). I also added shareable result pages specifically so users can send a diagnostic report to their ISP tech support or discuss the data with others.
Free packet loss test that starts the moment the page loads. Watch ping, jitter and dropped packets live over real UDP — at your game
Right now it sends the 10 Hz standard tick. Pick your game and the test switches to that game's real rate — 128 Hz Valorant, 64 Hz CS2, 20 Hz Apex. How we measure . The verdict for this game appears once the first full second of packets is in. Speed tests measure bandwidth, not stability. You can have a gigabit connection and still experience rubberbanding, robotic audio, and disconnects. PingPacketTest monitors your connection continuously. Instead of a large file download, it sends tiny data packets to detect the hidden packet loss, jitter, and ping spikes that standard speed tests miss. The dynamic chart visualizes the health of your network. Here is what the metrics mean. Ping is…from pingpackettest.com

Howdy HN! I find myself testing my ping from time to time, especially when my internet seems wonky while WFH. It feels like there should be an easier way test my ping than puling up a terminal or a complex web app - especially when I'm on my phone or any other device that doesn't have a terminal. I figured I should be the change I wish to see in the world and created this super light ping test. I also created a latency monitoring solution (https://github.com/cjjeakle/network-monitor), feel free to clone and try it out! I know there are a lot more mature monitoring…

I've frequently found myself using [nvitop](https://github.com/XuehaiPan/nvitop) to diagnose GPU/CPU contention issues. The two best things about it are: - It's easy to install if I can access pip in the container - It makes a compelling screenshot (which helps me communicate with coworkers.) With those two lessons in mind: Here is Sping! Purpose: Help observe and diagnose latency issues at layer 4+ (TCP/HTTP/HTTPS) Two good things about it: - It's easy to install if you have pip.

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
