Show HN: Banana Battle – DOS Gorillas rebuilt as a web gamehttps://michael480th.github.io/Banana-Battle/As a kid, I loved to play the DOS Gorillas game where you would throw bananas at your opponent, smashing cities as you go.I wanted to play it, so I rebuilt the classic QBasic/DOS "Gorillas" game from scratch as a mobile web app. It is playable in the browser and installable to your iPhone home screen.It's all vanilla HTML/Canvas/JavaScript. No frameworks, no build step, no dependencies, no tracking. A single static page served from GitHub Pages.A few bits that were fun to build: - Destructible terrain: buildings are painted to an offscreen canvas and explosions erase pixels - Ballistic physics with wind, sub-stepped so a fast banana can't tunnel through a thin building between frames. - Native share sheet (Web Share API) so you can text a friend your result with a "beat my score" challenge linkIt's hot-seat two-player (pass the phone, or share a keyboard: arrows to aim, space to throw).No original Microsoft code or assets — the code and pixel art are all my own (with some help from ClaJul 10, 2026 6:14 AM

I got tired of every .NET HTML-to-PDF library so I built a free one from scratchhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48853670Hi all, I've just open-sourced NetPDF, a project I've been building to scratch an itch that's bugged the .NET community for as long as I can remember, there has never been a genuinely free, high-quality HTML-to-PDF library.Every existing route has a real tradeoff:Headless-browser wrappers (Puppeteer/Playwright/Chromium): huge footprint, a native browser to ship and secure, a process to spawn per render.wkhtmltopdf wrappers: built on an unmaintained engine.Commercial libraries: excellent, but licensed per seat/server."Free" libraries: AGPL (viral copyleft) or a revenue cap that becomes a license fee once you grow.After years of working around this, I decided to build the thing I wanted. NetPDF is a real HTML/CSS layout engine written from scratch in C# - the same category as Prince or WeasyPrint, not "automate a browser."What it isA pure C# / .NET 10 engine that parses HTML + CSS and lays it out itself: block, inline, flexbox, grid, and tables, fragmentation across pages, paged-media (@Jul 9, 2026 11:14 PM

Show HN: Learn to Read with SRS++https://letterspractice.com/showHNHey everyone. The short story here is that I've made an early literacy app that you are encouraged to try with your pre-literate or only-sorta-literate kids. It's intended to be minimalist, friendly, and efficient. Its preferred-usage pattern is parent-child co-use, and my hope is that it resonates values-wise with parents who are generally screen-time averse (I am such a parent).The main landing page is https://letterspractice.com. The submission link is an annotated view of a live study session, showing some of how the engine surfaces content, and how user-interactions feed back into the engine.The slightly longer story is that (like many around here) I've had a long interest in Anki and SRS generally, and been frustrated at the gap between its effectiveness (high) and its success with respect to penetration into the mainstream (low).So: many years ago I started playing with a web based framework ( https://github.com/patched-network/vue-skuilder ) for SRS based apps with a broader inJul 9, 2026 6:52 PM

Show HN: Devthropology – Better Insights for GitHub Reposhttps://devthropology.com/demoDevthropology is a passion project built on top of GitHub pull data. The name is a play on developer anthropology. Pull request data can be cut a lot of ways. The functionality has been built out of curiosity as I want to see different insights into codebases that I work on. Some of the data is typical and other parts I haven't seen elsewhere.I think of this as an improved GitHub Insights page, with faster performance, more detail, and a focus on how work moves through a codebase. The main entity is a contributor, which has two sides: authoring PRs and reviewing/giving feedback to others. From there, you can see repository wide stats, user interactions, contribution trends, file health, and collaboration patterns. Some insights are useful for understanding velocity and code health in the AI era.Details for each page:- Homepage: A high level summary of the repository. Showing age, file types, active contributors, new and churned users. I track the author age at merge, so you can see theJul 9, 2026 4:47 PM

Ask HN: Any good replacements for "Refined Hacker News?"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48845676Yesterday my browser updated and turned off "Refined Hacker News." It was a very minimalist plugin that made some minor UI changes to Hacker News that I miss. (It turned the upper-right username into a drop-down, and allowed in-line replies to comments.)Are there any replacements for that plugin? I tried a different plugin that has similar features (won't name), but it makes too many cosmetic changes, and, IMO, leaves Hacker News looking too ugly.Jul 9, 2026 1:40 PM
