    Pole Clock, a single 24h clock with multiple timezones2022 · poleclock.com · ▲440

    Hi HN! I designed this Pole Clock to be a helpful tool for people like myself who often struggle with managing their sense of time. I found that analog clocks are generally easier to read and understand than digital ones, however I find the fact that every day is broken into two 12-hour rotations unintuitive. A single 24-hour rotation makes it easier to grasp where in the day you are, the bottom half representing night and the top half representing day. Additionally, because the clock displays 24 hours, you can add extra hour hands on the clock for other time zones. This is especially useful…

  • Hello, HN - I wanted to share this puzzle game I made during my vacation. I'm rather fond of the pipes puzzle where your goal is to restore a scrambled network of connections by rotating tiles. It's usually played on a grid of squares and this all started when I decided to make a programmatic solver for that kind of puzzle. Then I realized that with some minor changes the solver could generate new puzzle instances. I thought about what kind of puzzle to make and someone suggested a hexagonal grid. Adapting the generator wasn't too hard but then I had to create a way to play this variant. So…
