Show HN: StarRupture Calculator – A Simple Production Planner for StarRupturehttps://starrupturecalculator.com/Hi HN, I made StarRupture Calculator, a free web tool for the game StarRupture.StarRupture is a sci-fi survival and factory-building game. As the factory grows, it becomes hard to calculate production chains, building counts, and power usage. I built this tool to make planning easier.With StarRupture Calculator, you can: • Calculate production chains and required buildings • See visual production flows • Compare different recipes • Check power consumption • Save and export your plansAll data comes directly from the game files, so the numbers are accurate. The tool runs fully in the browser, is free, and has no ads. This is a fan-made, non-official project.Website: https://starrupturecalculator.com/Feedback is welcome. Thanks!

Indian rocket hits snag during launchhttps://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Indian_rocket_hits_snag_during_launch_999.htmlNew Delhi (AFP) Jan 12, 2026 An Indian rocket hit a snag during its launch Monday, forcing a deviation in flight path as it carried an Earth observation satellite and commercial payloads, the country's space agency said. The PSLV-C62, a four-stage launch vehicle, "encountered an anomaly" towards the end of the third stage, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) posted on X, without saying exactly what went wrong.

A pink aesthetic wallpaper hub for makers/creators, with built-in AI edit toolshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46599320This might be a bit of an unconventional Show HN, but I think many of us here (myself included) are tired of generic default wallpapers or overly busy designs. We stare at our screens for so long, and a visual environment that feels calm or joyful can have a real impact on focus and mood.So, I built Pink Canvas (https://pinkcanvas.net).The core is simple: a curated library of pink-themed wallpapers. But I wanted to make it genuinely useful, particularly for the tinkerers and creators among us:Precise Curation: Walls are well-tagged (Kawaii, Floral, Minimalist, Fantasy, etc.) and by resolution (Mobile, Desktop, 4K). It saves the time of sifting through Pinterest or Unsplash for that specific look for a specific device.Built-in Maker Tools: Here's the key feature and why I'm posting it here. I integrated AI Generate and AI Edit tools directly into the site. You can take any wallpaper and, using natural language, ask it to "add a small cat in the corner" or "make it cyberpunk" to create a

Show HN: Touch grass – I built social media that wants you to close ithttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46587757I wanted old school social media back. Actual connections with friends. Not pity likes and performances and highlight reels.All my friends have stopped posting. Everyone's a lurker now. I'm a lurker. The only time I see what anyone's doing is when it's a humblebrag. I have no idea what's actually going on in my friends' lives besides the ones I see every week or so.So I built touch grass. You post once a week: 3 easy questions, max 3 photos. Sunday 6pm mountain time (yeah its my time zone) everyone's posts unlock at the same time. You catch up on what your people have been doing, then close the app. No likes, no comments, no algorithm, no advertisers, no bullshit, besides that one friend maybe.It's not about content. It's about keeping the connection warm. I see my friend went to the Cowboys game (Texans represent), I text him and ask how it was. That's it. That's the whole point. A reason to actually reach out.I've weirdly learned more about my parents in the last 5 weeks than the las
