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

AI is like farming. (and the purpose behind what I'm building)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49342690I was watching a documentary on bronze ages last night. A line stuck with me. After the invention of bronze tools farming got more efficient and people had more time on their hands. They used it to BUILD cities (and everything in it). That's the true human spirit that can't be diminished.Are transitions usually violent (also economically and politically)? Yes. Bigger the technological advancement, bigger are the transitions.We are going to be witnessing a massive re-training of an entire workforce into working with AI.This is exactly why I'm building AISA. I believe we need to be able to measure AI skills, provide gap analysis and learning roadmaps... As well as proof of someone's proficiency, in certificates or credentials. This is a part of how we navigate this change.We'll build new cities, and everything in it.Aug 18, 2026 7:48 AM
