Kakehashi Update: Running Apple Clang build and lowering overhead to 1.24xhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49299613Hello again HN!After 11 days, I'm back with an update about Kakehashi. I want to thank you for your support! Thank you for all your stars, comments. I didn't expect you to be so interested in the project.What's new:I managed to significantly accelerate the implementation process. Now, 7zip lags by just 1.24x compared to native Linux performance, and the Lua build differs literally by 1.5 to 2 seconds from a native launch. The Lua build fails to compile via kh run make due to Linux-specific flags, which mirrors its behavior on native macOS. However, if it is built using kh run gcc -- -Wall -O2 -DLUA_USE_MACOSX -std=c99 onelua.c -lreadline -o /tmp/lua-onelua, everything compiles, builds, and runs perfectly. Overall, I am currently actively working on the following binaries: git, clang, make, xcrun, otool, gcc, curl, 7zip, rm, ls, sh, csh, zsh, bash, and the Rust installation script. Please note that you currently need to manually port the /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, and /usr/lib/zsh folders fAug 14, 2026 3:00 PM

Show HN: Atlas – like GeoGuessr but multiple choice, daily, no sign-uphttps://wild.space/atlasBeen building atlas the past few months. A mobile webapp game, like Geoguessr, but with answer options (correct vs two decoys) which makes it a bit quicker.You're dropped somewhere and have to guess correctly as fast as possible. Every day at midnight UTC 5 new places will appear, same 5 for everyone in the world. So that’s the global league table.Every place you get right fills in your personal atlas map, which slowly becomes a picture of the places you know around the world.There are also live rounds where you can challenge friends (everyone sees the same place at the same moment) and slow async expeditions where a group fills a shared map over weeks.In ‘Tourist’ mode you play global locations around the world (randomised).In ‘Local’ mode you play neighbourhoods of cities or islands. In order to “own” a place you have to Ace it (5/5) - then your atlas map lights up with that place in blue.Some choices we made building this that HN might appreciate: 1. There is no “account”, no signupAug 14, 2026 1:46 PM

Ask HN: What is next after your launch doesn't go as planned?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49298326Nobody talks about the week after a launch that lands flat.You refresh the analytics. A few hundred visitors, a handful of signups, and then nothing. And the questions start. Was it the timing? The wording on the landing page? The video? Or is it the product, the one you spent months building and thought you had validated?That last one is the one that actually hurts, because it makes you rethink every decision you were confident about a week ago.I think the answer is to go back to the data and find the leak. Whether people arrived, whether they understood it, whether they tried it, whether they came back. Each of those failing means something completely different and most of us collapse them into "the launch failed."But I've only done this a couple of times and I'd rather learn from people who have done it more. If you've had a launch go nowhere: what did you actually change, and how did you work out which part was broken? Did anyone here find that the problem was genuinely the productAug 14, 2026 1:21 PM
