Sniffer - helps users find their lost Bluetooth devices, by giving directions to where their signal comes from. The app allows its user to scan and add tracking for all their Bluetooth devices -- AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones, keyboards, mouses, Fitbits, iPads, or any other Bluetooth-enabled device. With the built-in Bluetooth signal strength monitor, users can easily find their lost devices, by moving in the direction that increases the signal strength. Sniffers issues notifications every time one of the user's Bluetooth devices are left behind, in this way, users won't ever leave a place and forget their headphones or other Bluetooth-enabled devices.

    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!
