Pure Paste

What it does

Paste as plain text by default. It clears formatting (fonts, colors, bold, links, tables, etc.) from the text you copy. However, it does not touch unrelated content like files, images, etc. It also ignores content copied from password managers.

Works so seamlessly. This app just works in the background, you never need to open it, it just does its thing. It feels just like something Apple would invent and it is done so perfectly I never noticed how much I crutched it until I tried working on one of my friends windows laptops. A must get. Best app in the world. Probably been using it for 4 years but genuinely haven’t thought about it once since I installed it to today. Works so seamlessly and does what its meant to perfectly. Pure Paste lets you paste as plain text by default. It sits in the menu bar and automatically clears formatting (fonts, colors, bold, links, tables, etc.) from the text you copy, while intelligently preserving…from sindresorhus.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!
