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

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

Show HN: PandaPage – host an HTML page with one curl, no signup, auto-expireshttps://pandapage.clawshop.shI wanted to put a quick HTML page online to share, a mockup or a one-off demo, without a signup, a git repo, or a build step. Existing options all wanted one of those, so I built this.One request creates a site:``` curl -X POST https://pandapage.clawshop.sh/api/deploy \ -H "content-type: application/json" \ -d '{"files":{"index.html":"hi"}}' ```You get back a URL like pandapage.clawshop.sh// and a token. The token is the only thing gating updates and deletes, so there are no accounts. You can also POST a zip instead of JSON, and binaries go as base64.Pages expire after 24h by default (configurable per deploy from 10 minutes to 7 days, and re-deploying resets the clock). Expiry is a KV key TTL, so a page starts returning 404 the moment it lapses, and an R2 lifecycle rule sweeps the underlying files a few days later. No cron job.Because it is just a JSON API with no auth handshake, coding agents can deploy to it directly. I gave Claude Code a short prompt and now "host this page" turns iJul 9, 2026 7:22 AM

Show HN: Cruxible – Open-source governed truth layer for AI agentshttps://github.com/cruxible-ai/cruxibleMemory as text for LLMs works well enough when the truth can be plainly stated and doesn't change, but I kept running into the same problem with LLM wikis, markdown, vector stores - I just didn't trust them, and I didn't trust my agent to properly state its evidence for a claim, its reason for changing something, or rebuild its semantic connections the same way between sessions from a text corpus. I found myself constantly asking my agents to re-verify what was already in my wikis, so what was really the point of the wiki in the first place?I built Cruxible to fix that. It's a governed state layer that human/agent teams operate and iterate on together: you model what's true for your domain in an explicit, typed ontology, and the runtime enforces how state may change. It's designed to be unobtrusive: the state compounds as the exhaust of normal agent work, not as an ontology someone has to manually comb through.Repo is here: https://github.com/cruxible-ai/cruxible- All state that can beJul 8, 2026 3:39 PM
