Tetris Time
It's almost New Year's and here's an original way to show the countdown using Tetris. I'm sure something similar has been done before, but I had a lot of fun building this (TDD style) using Claude Code. After New Year's it can also function as a regular clock: https://tetris-time.koenvangilst.nl/ For the impatient, it's possible to increase the speed using url parameters: https://tetris-time.koenvangilst.nl/?to=2025-12-31T23:00:00....
Tetris Time launched on December 30, 2025 with 14 votes, #684 of 11,628 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.
In plain words
Tetris Time is a countdown clock that displays the time until a specified date using Tetris-style gameplay mechanics. After the target date passes, it functions as a regular clock. Users can adjust the countdown speed and target date through URL parameters. The tool was built using test-driven development and Claude Code.

Hello all, About a month or so ago, you were all so nice as to put Lazy Tetris on your front page, and I've never felt so popular. More than 30,000 people have played the game all over the world. I'm truly happy if anyone is enjoying this fun project. So yes, I'm re-posting this, sorry if it's too soon, but I wanted to thank you for your amazing feedback in the comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44103839 I've added the following features since we last spoke: - iOS app (why? Of course Monetization, but Haptics are also cool) - translations into a few languages -…

It’s where you play so much Tetris that the game starts to seep into your thoughts, your dreams, your half-waking hallucinations, and pretty much every part of your reality that has nothing to do with Tetris. Well, I do a lot of crosswords—by “do” I mean both “solve”

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser.
