Show HN: Monochess – A chess variant with rule-bending action cardshttps://monochess.pages.devHey HN,A while back I saw a video[0] of people playing chess but using action cards to modify the rules mid-game (skip turns, reverse, draw 2, etc.). It looked incredibly chaotic and really fun to play, so I decided to actually build it as a playable online game. A small difference in Monochess is there's no need to call out a phrase if you just have one piece. I noticed while testing with the mrs. it became really annoying to keep doing this every move.That also gave me a really good reason to build on Cloudflare using their entire stack, something I've been meaning to get my hands dirty with for quite some time. The app is built using SvelteKit and hosted on Pages, there's a Durable Object worker-backed game server, and D1 as the database layer for accounts/games.This project included:- A Custom Engine: Standard chess engines panic when forced into illegal board states. The engine wraps standard chess logic to allow for mid-turn state changes—handling concepts like rolling back a comMay 28, 2026 1:58 PM

Show HN: AT4K Launcher - Apple TV inspired Launcher for Android TVshttps://at4klauncher.comHi HN!I'm the developer of OffChess a Hackernews favorite Chess puzzles app. About 6 months ago I saw someone reviewing an Apple TV 4k on their youtube channel and it looked vastly superior in terms of UI and UX to what Android based Google TVs provide. I asked the people over at r/AndroidTV if someone has ported Apple TV experience to Android TV and they said no. So I built a makeshift video and posted on Reddit. People there loved it and started sending me Reddit chat messages every day to build and launch it.So it took me 3 months to solve all edge cases and I built and launched AT4K Launcher in January and people absolutely loved it. Since then BGR, Android Authority, Makeuseof and multiple tech websites have featured it as one of the best Android Launchers.Clean, fast, minimal, pretty, no accounts, no tracking, no monthly subscriptions, no internet required. Just you and your apps. With Live wallpaper, custom app icons, icon packs support and multiple ways to modify your home screMay 28, 2026 9:43 AM

Show HN: Hm – a task runner with a Python DSL, growing into a CI/CD systemhttps://github.com/harmont-dev/harmont-cliHi HN! My name is Marko and I am working on a CI/CD system at harmont.dev, a CI/CD system that sucks slightly less. As I've been working on the cloud, I realized that the CLI might be generally useful as a task runner, even if you don't care for our CI/CD, and that's what I'm sharing here!Every CI system I've used at Tesla, Bun, and mesa.dev has had the same problems: stateless and slow (GHA), or stateful and horizontally unscalable (Jenkins), with YAML on top of either. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was the realization that all my Claudes are waiting upwards of an hour. So I quit my job to work on harmont, which aims to solve all of these pain points I've had.In its current state, the project is very similar to Dagger in spirit with the core difference of harmont having what I believe to be a more pleasant API as well as being smaller in scope.I'm looking for opinions and feedback. What might be the most interesting with the CLI is the DSL -- I've tried to make it ergonMay 27, 2026 4:41 PM

How to prevent ideological capture of sites like Wikipedia, HNhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48290346Someone submitted a link [1] to an article on Wikipedia's whitewashing of Mao titled Wikipedia Whitewashes Mao – The Anatomy of Ideological Capture [2], a topic which in a more generalized form is of interest to the current average HN denizen given the prevalence of Wikipedia in LLM training data. It did not take long for the flaggers and down-voters to take down the article which has only managed to get a few comments, the top one claiming the article to be 'a pretty political take on a Wikipedia article'. I think the subject deserves more discussion since it points out a clear problem with sources like Wikipedia but also because of the way this article was quickly flagged to death. The flagging and down-voting mechanisms make sites like HN vulnerable to the same type of ideological capture as what is discussed in the linked article in that a relatively small group of motivated users can suppress 'unwanted' subjects while boosting those which fit some desired narrative.[1] https://newMay 27, 2026 6:14 AM
