Taboo

An ergonomic web version of the popular party game

Taboo launched on July 13, 2026 with 3 votes, #9,082 of 25,633 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches.

What it does

Split into teams, and take turns getting them to say a certain word (provided by the game). Correct answers earn one point, while skipping or saying 'taboo' words deducts points. Many web ports exist, but none have a vocabulary as large as this project, and none have great UX (keyboard shortcuts, mobile responsiveness, etc.).

Play Taboo online for free in your browser. Split into teams, describe the card, avoid the five forbidden words, and race the timer at parties or game night.

One player is the clue-giver. They see the card and help their team guess the big word on top. Five forbidden words sit under each card. Sound-alikes, rhymes, charades, abbreviations, and spelling all count as a slip. Each correct guess scores a point. Skip a card any time, but anything past your free skips deducts the skip penalty. When the timer hits zero the round ends mid-card. The current card doesn't count and the device passes to the next team. There's no referee. If the other team hears a taboo word, buzz them and deduct a point. Disputes resolved by groupfrom taboo.aadisanghvi.com

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…
