In plain words

Posture Pal is an iOS app that uses motion sensors in Apple AirPods to monitor neck and shoulder posture. Users start a Posture Session, and the app tracks neck tilt, sending alerts when poor posture is detected, even while running in the background. It's designed for anyone looking to improve their postural habits throughout the day using wearable technology they may already own.

Does it work? I don’t know. It’s sensitive to every little change in my head movement. If I look down to take a bite of food, bend over to pick something up, or anything else where my head is down it sends an alert.It might be better if it didn’t notify until it has been a few seconds.Also, as others have mentioned, I can slouch and have my shoulders up as long as my head is level. This is simply a limitation of motion tracking, but maybe there is something you can come up with to help improve this aspect.One more thing, app is super buggy on my iPhone 14 Pro. The icons for settings and themes in the top corners do not respond when tapped, when trying to set a custom angle, the menu closes…from apps.apple.com

    I made a web game called Almost Pong▲1,135

    Hi HN! I made many small web games in the past with Unity or Phaser. But this time I wanted to make something completely on my own. So I coded a basic game framework in plain JavaScript, and used it to make Almost Pong. This was a really fun project that taught me a lot about JavaScript, and I plan to make more minimalist games with this framework. Interesting fact: Almost Pong doesn't load any assets, all sprites and sounds are generated with code. Happy to answer questions, and please let me know if you have any feedback on the game. Thanks!
