Show HN: Notation – an iOS chess coach (Stockfish on device and optional BYOK)https://notationchesscoach.appHi HN. Solo iOS middle aged, slightly burnt out dad from the UK here, wondering if anyone is interested in what I've been building. Lifelong chess fan, not very good but always trying to improve and I started to build Notation: Chess coach a while back. It's been live a month now on the App Store, doing modest numbers, and I've been learning a lot... mainly make my add brain slow down, stop, test everything twice and never when tired. Submissions will always wait another day!Many people play on chess com, or lichess, just as many in apps and OTB. What my app does (differently I hope) is bring that data together.You can import PGNs of your games, connect to chess com and lichess and sync your games over or play in the app. If you have a Chessnut electronic board, you can play IRL on that as well.Every game, every move is then analysed by a series of on device detectors, and classifiers. And I'm not talking about"I run Stockfish 18 and get your move evals" like most tools do.... Theres aApr 22, 2026 7:46 AM

Observability Stack – AI First?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47819461So... I'm way behind. Just got into Claude this week... it's already doing most of my coding and bug fixes. Crazy stuff.Some background on my company: Mature (14 yrs) Ruby on Rails app, Sidekiq, Redis, PG, AWS lambda/eventbridge, react/preact, swift, and others. Hosted on Heroku. Very database heavy. Solo guy, owner/operator.Current stack:Datadog logging (dabbled in APM, metrics, and others, but the build pack for Heroku is so bloated I had to remove it), so now it's a simple Heroku log drain to datadog. I really miss the statsd host and APM stuff... but it took my slug size from ~250mb to over 350 and made booting and deploys much slower. I'd also like to get off Heroku.... some day... but I can't event fathom it.Bugsnag for errors. Already moved this to Sentry to try out the AI stuff.A little fed up with Datadog and receiving $600 monthly bills on top of my enterprise commitment. biggest pain points: indexing is priced per line, not by gb (discourages me from simple logging, so I resApr 18, 2026 8:55 PM

Ask HN: Can a word game work as a competitive strategy esport?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47347625I've been experimenting with a browser game design problem.Most word games (Scrabble, Wordle, etc.) are either slow or mostly about vocabulary. I wanted to see if it was possible to build one that behaves more like a competitive strategy game — something closer to chess in terms of tension and reversals.The result is a prototype called The Word Gambit. The board grows organically from placed words, and late-game detonations from long words can swing the match dramatically.The surprising thing during testing is that matches often feel more like territory control than spelling.Players also started creating AI opponents ("gladiators") and pitting them against each other, which I didn't originally plan.I'm curious about a few design questions:• Can vocabulary realistically function as a competitive skill in an esport context? • What mechanics would make a word-based game strategically deep rather than dictionary-driven? • Would spectators even enjoy watching something like this?If anyone iMar 12, 2026 7:37 AM
