Quick games disguised as boring spreadsheets
I posted a version of this over a year ago but decided to rebuild it recently. Bored Spreadsheet is a collection of quick and easy games that look like a spreadsheet from a distance. I have tightened the app to be a collection of 6 games: Minesweeper, 2048, solitaire, sudoku, a market trading game and a daily reconciliation puzzle where the player must find bad data in a fake table. The games are free to play but sign up is required to submit your scores to the leaderboard.

In plain words
Bored Spreadsheet is a collection of six games including Minesweeper, 2048, solitaire, sudoku, a market trading game, and a data reconciliation puzzle. Each game is designed to resemble a spreadsheet, making them suitable for playing discreetly at work. The games are free to play, though account creation is required to submit scores to leaderboards. It is intended for office workers seeking brief entertainment during downtime between tasks or meetings.

The games are free to play but sign up is required to submit your scores to the leaderboard. As was the original intention over a year ago, I hope this proves useful to those office workers who have a lot of downtime in between tasks or meetings yet don’t have the freedom to open Youtube or Cyberpunk 2077 on their work computers. Ironically my work network has blocked the website as it “contains non-business-related services” – I hope you have better luck than me!

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
