Nice lists. I made a game for playing Boggle with family that you're welcome to add to the list of games browser games to play with friends: https://wordgame.paulbutler.org/ https://wordgame.paulbutler.org/
- ohashi 7y ago
  Nice simple game, but it's not multiplayer (online) as far as I can tell. I was more looking for games to play with friends while safety isolated from one another :)
  - paulgb 7y ago
    It is designed to be used via screen-sharing on VC call (the instructions cover how). I have successfully played it with up to 6 people over Zoom :)
robin_reala 7y ago
I’m also stuck at home and busy working on a couple of new PD ebooks for Standard Ebooks (Compton Mackenzie’s Sinister Street, and a collection of Vladimir Korolenko short stories). Would be good if you could add it to the free books resource: https://standardebooks.org/ https://standardebooks.org/

  Thanks, added!

This is a good idea, but as soon as I saw the domain name, it prevents me from sending it to family and friends.

  why?

    In US culture, using "swear words" is still taboo for many people. (I'm not saying it's right or wrong).
    - keiferski 7y ago
      In most of the world, swear words are considered unprofessional or rude.
      - cosmodisk 7y ago
        From my own anecdotal experience, the ones that are very upset because of a few swear words at work are usually the most cunning,back stabbing, and dishonest people I've ever met.YMMV
        keiferski 7y ago
        Uh, I guess. I personally just find it distasteful and inappropriate. A bit like openly discussing the private particulars of your personal life.
    - pen2l 7y ago
      What do you mean in US culture? Avoiding vulgar language isn't a phenomenon unique to US. If I was in France I wouldn't exactly be saying <putain de merde> around my family, if I was in India I wouldn't be saying <bhain chod, nai kaam karta>, etc.

        The HN meme about "puritan America" is strong.

We've been looking for a game online like cards against humanity. Thanks for finding one and sharing this!
- shadowoflight 7y ago
  I actually spent a bit last week looking for online CAH and was a bit overwhelmed - I somehow never knew that Cards Against Humanity was released under a Creative Commons license. Makes me want to buy all of the expansions even more, somehow. EDIT: Just discovered that the CAH site linked by OP doesn’t work well on mobile, but found one that does: https://www.cardsagainsthumanity.online/ https://www.cardsagainsthumanity.online/
  - rovr138 7y ago
    Oh! I hadn't seen the CC license. That's great. I just saw the link on your edit! Going to give these two a try later today. Thanks
- AjithAntony 7y ago
  Here's another one. http://playingcards.io/game/remote-insensitivity http://playingcards.io/game/remote-insensitivity This site is also a good platform for card games in general

I'd like to find online chess with video chat is there such a thing?
- mariusz331 7y ago
  Hey there. Chess is not ready yet, but we're working on it: https://www.cyberspaces.app/ https://www.cyberspaces.app/
st-isidore 7y ago
Why the foul language? Completely unnecessary.
- bunje 7y ago
  Because people are annoyed when forced to stay home. The language reflects this.
- choward 7y ago
  I completely fucking agree.
  - threatofrain 7y ago
    Why do you speak with foul language? Do you not see how it’s unnecessary?
- ohashi 7y ago
  The foul mood of being isolated away for weeks :(
  - criddell 7y ago
    It's not a bad choice. It's hard to think of alternatives that are short and express the same thing.
- sneak 7y ago
  Almost as unnecessary as tone policing someone on a website that isn't your own.
- jsjddbbwj 7y ago
  Let me guess: American?
- izolate 7y ago
  The bog-standard Wordpress template is really at odds with the domain name. You'd expect a site with a name like this to have a distinct, punchy visual aesthetic, not some generic template.
jstanley 7y ago
I'd add https://skribbl.io/ https://skribbl.io/ to the games list, it's basically pictionary.
- ohashi 7y ago
  Very nice, added!
emrehan 7y ago
I'd add https://pandemicvolunteers.org https://pandemicvolunteers.org to coronavirus resources. It could provide the best relief.
- ohashi 7y ago
  Interesting site, added a new header for volunteer and put a link.
  - emrehan 7y ago
    And then decided to take it off I guess?
systemvoltage 7y ago
I was thinking of compiling a list of made in non-China items.
- ancarda 7y ago
  I'd be interested in such a list - I suspect it may be small, independent companies. Which is probably a good thing to support anyway. Also may help lower carbon footprint a little?
  - systemvoltage 7y ago
    My comment is being downvoted but the reason is not some inherent anti-China motives. I have a hard time finding anything on Amazon that's not made in China. That's a horrible state of affairs and we need to diversify manufacturing. May be there should be carbon footprint score against each item. The sad part is that consumers DO NOT CARE. They are like these mindless brains that see a slightly lower price and they hop on it. Vast majority of the people of the planet do not care whether its made in China or not. They will save $2 for selling their souls.
drewg123 7y ago
They should mention the AppleTv service. They've made some of their content free. I started watching "For All Mankind" this weekend, and it is excellent. The service has horrible play delay and time to quality on my LG OLED, but once it starts streaming and ramps up, it looks great.
initself 7y ago
I think this site should be text only.
- rovr138 7y ago
  On your browser, disable JS, images and stylesheets.
gonzo41 7y ago
Nice cooking list! One suggestion. You should remove the COVID resources. It's probably a good list but people need a break. It's the only thing on the news at the moment and I'm starting to see it really wear people down. What I'm getting at is, when I was in the Army in Iraq I heard a lot less news about being in a War and being in Iraq even though i was there, in that war. Everyone knew what the score was and didn't spend a ton of time obsessing on the small stuff that's out of control. Your call. Nice site otherwise.
- ohashi 7y ago
  Other than that one page I don't plan on adding any more. So much in your face I agree about. But it feels almost irresponsible to not link some information at least acknowledging why we're in the situation?
  - nickthegreek 7y ago
    j Kenji has been doing a great late night cooking series while he has been stuck at home. https://www.youtube.com/user/kenjialt https://www.youtube.com/user/kenjialt

Deserves a header description and/or About page. Without this HN post it's hard to tell what the relation is between the name and the content
nakedshorts 7y ago
Really? Top 10 lists at the top of HN? What's next, Buzzfeed polls?
tmountain 7y ago
Where is the section exclusively dedicated to sourdough? Just kidding... nice resource, thanks for sharing it.
VieEnCode 7y ago
Thanks for this. If you wanted to add another section, podcasts might be a nice fit.
donclark 7y ago
I would share it with others if the URL was more friendly.
karmakaze 7y ago
Like that Go (board game) was in there.
chachan 7y ago
great but no workout list :(
4926394057 7y ago
Thanks for this! The "Chill EDM" playlist on Spotify page links to the same playlist as "Synthwave Sounds".
rabboRubble 6y ago
Hey, I'd be willing to share my jumbo podcast list with you, if that is a resource you'd like on the site. I tend to not delete any podcast that piqued my interest initially. If it turns out not to be to my taste ultimately, I toss it into an "uninteresting" playlist. This way, I'm not reevaluating podcasts at some point in the future that I've already pushed aside. Right now, I'm at 400+ podcasts, with about 30% having graduated to a "follow this indefinitely" status.
