Show HN: Loft Day – a wedding invitation turned point-and-click gamehttps://marketa.behdad.org/loft-dayI wanted to make a fun, wholesome experience for our wedding website. Before long, it had turned into Loft Day: a point-and-click browser game with ten rooms, a party, a road trip, and a lot of smaller games, apps, and hidden interactions.Most of it lives in one 8.8 MB HTML file—roughly 138,000 lines of HTML, SVG, CSS, and JavaScript, with no framework or build step. It also runs a few real runtimes inside the game, including Python through Pyodide, a small Linux system through v86, and, of course, classic shooter games.I developed it over about a month and 5,700 commits, working with Claude and Codex while directing, testing, and repeatedly changing my mind.The source is here: https://github.com/behdad/marketa.behdad.orgI’d love to hear technical questions, browser reports, and optimization tips for a game of this scale and stack. But first and foremost: wander.Aug 18, 2026 8:40 AM

Show HN: There are many factories, but this one's *yourshttps://github.com/mikaelweiss/penguin# There are many factories, but this one's yoursAll coding harnesses and code factories have a few major flaws: 1. You don't get to pick the workflow - someone else decides the workflow for you 2. It's often unclear when the human is needed - is the agent done, or do you need to verify? 3. You're limited to prose and all it's downsides - nested logic and complex compesition is pretty much out of the question 4. We end up relying heavily on agents calling mcp's or cli's for things that should be deterministic calls## You don't get to pick the workflowWhy should the guys at vercel, linear, factory, anthropic, or openai decide what workflow is best for you?Penguin flips that:YOU decide what workflow is best.Three concepts: Workflows - what's run Adapters - a way to connect to the outside world Messages - async or sync sent between workflows and adaptersWith these three primitives, you can build incredibly complex workflows including, but not limited to, software factories.## It's often unAug 18, 2026 8:33 AM
