WebReducer – micro event sourcing cloud function

Hey everyone, WebReducer is a project I've been working on since last December. You can read about my process here: https://offbyone.us/tags/micro-business/ Send some data to WebReducer. Then, write a reducer function to retain some state. You can change the reducer function as much as you want and recreate that state. Still working on how to explain it. It's a tiny FaaS platform. It's a tiny database. It's micro event sourcing. It's "redux" on the server as a service. It's a backend for tiny personal projects. It's a place to send your webhooks. I'm looking for…

In plain words

WebReducer is a lightweight serverless platform that combines event sourcing, state management, and data storage in one service. Users send data to WebReducer and define reducer functions to maintain state, which can be recalculated by modifying the reducer code. It functions as a minimal backend for personal projects, a tiny database, and a webhook endpoint, offering server-side Redux-like functionality for developers building small-scale applications.

I'm looking for feedback on the following: - Do you get what it is? - What would you use it for? - What would I need to iron out for you to seriously consider trying this?

    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.

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…
