   The success of Balatro is absolutely incredible, and very well deserved. It's a pity that it seemed to have such a physical toll on the developer. Balatro's probably the most accessible roguelike deckbuilder I have ever played, an

   I hadn't even learned how to walk in 1999, let alone host a personal website! I grew up during a bit a transitional period of the internet. My earliest memories involve playing Flash games on Newgrounds, reading about Bionicle lore onl

   I set up my personal website [0] quite a while ago - 2020 or so. I've been updating it a lot more regularly in the last few years and I've found it very rewarding. It's great to have my own place where I am in full control of

   Not precisely, but I think my roommate in high school played that game quite a bit! If you sign up for my newsletter you'll get some info about the games that directly influenced Botnet of Ares.

   Thanks, that's a very interesting insight. Chilictl, the tool in the article, is maintained by the team that also uses it the most. So we know its applications best, and even though it's original author is not around anymore, we a

    I'd like to hear some more from the HN community on this topic - what tools have you build & did you find any surprising benefits once you've started using them more and more?

    I'm surprised to see such a new standard for FLAC - the protocol itself has been in use for decades, but this IETF standard has just been published. I would love to hear about the context of this publication.

    Thanks a lot for posting this. I am working on Chord Chart Memo [0] which is a tool for entering and transposing chord charts and this algorithm might come in very handy for naming the chords entered through the application. What we're

    Are you using the new temperature signal for the reactor? In my last playthrough I managed my reactors by measuring the tanks of steam - the temperature signal looks like a much nicer way to achieve the same thing.

    I've built Chord Chart Memo [0] entirely using Godot Game Engine. Chord Chart Memo is a tool for musicians and songwriters which lets you input chords with just two taps. What makes it stand out is the focus on lightning-fast input &am

    Thanks - it's good to know there really is demand for iOS! Parts of Harmony Explorer are kind of still in the app to this very day, namely the modulo-12 arithmetic for notes. And once support for sounding chords is added, that will als

    Godot is great for UI, mostly thanks to the editor itself being made in Godot. I've written another blog post about this very topic: https://tiniuc.com/godot-for-apps/

    My go-to for figuring out chords I don't know on guitar is Oolimo - I hope that suits your usecase.

    Many thanks for your purchase! Not at the moment, but a "Preferences" menu is in the works. This would be a great addition to that, alongside an option jazz notation and the like.
