What it does

After 6 months of hard work applying everything I’ve learned in Javascript, I present to you this simple game that works perfectly on both mobile phones and desktop browsers. And of course, I’m sharing the source code with everyone hoping it’d help someone learn more Javascript.

  • Homegames. An open-source game platform I've been making for 8 yearsJul 2026 · homegames.io · ▲229

    I'm making a platform for simple open source games you can play anywhere. Games are all just JavaScript classes and you can read the source of every game on the platform. I started working on initial "games" (mostly rendering tests) in 2018 and eventually built all of the platform stuff around it to make it easy to share games. There's also an in-browser editor available for you to make and publish games all from the browser. Would love some feedback on the games and studio features as well as the platform overall. All of the code is available at https://github.com/homegamesio

    I’ve been working on a new Go library called Tap: https://github.com/yarlson/tap. It’s a Go port of the TypeScript library Clack https://clack.cc/, bringing its simple, interactive command-line prompts to Go. Why: I often found myself rewriting input handling, spinners, and progress bars when building CLI tools. Existing options in Go felt either too barebones or too heavyweight. Tap aims to provide a middle ground: ergonomic, event-driven prompts with minimal dependencies. What works today: - Text and password input - Confirm and single-select menus…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
