Show HN: I was wrong about scrollytelling landing pageshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49185678My position for years: minimal static landing page, one clear offer, optimised for conversion. Everything else is designers entertaining themselves. Then the “built this 3D scrolling page with Fable in 5 minutes” posts started going around and my customers began asking for that. I pushed back, lost the argument, and built a few.Two things surprised me.First, the viral demos don’t survive contact with a client. I tested so many circulating prompt/skill setups. One-shot output looks great; changing anything afterwards is brutal... The demos are impressive because nobody in the thread ever has to revise them.Second, and worse for me: dwell time and conversion on the pages I built came out ahead of the minimal pages I’d have argued for. Small sample, and I’d like someone to tell me why it’s noise.So I built the thing that fixes the first problem: prebuilt interactive widgets that stay editable instead of a generated blob you re-prompt. https://scrollytelling.ai my own landing page is now b

Show HN: AppScout – App Store downloads, revenue and widgetshttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/appscout-app-metrics/id6770866569Hey hackers!Signing in to App Store Connect just to check downloads or MRR is a friction. I wanted a simpler way. Ideally, just to look at a widget on my iPhone. There are some apps, but the design and implementation made me think here's a gap that I can potentially fill it with a new polished product. So I've built this app.It took me several months to start beta testing. But then I got feedback from users that they don't really want to share their App Store key credentials with a third-party app that uses a backend and collects data. So, I spent one more month pivoting to a private app by dropping a backend and storing credentials on a user's device in a keychain. So, now the app directly talks to Apple's API and there's no account registration. You add a team key - the app fetches data. App also uses background tasks to fetch most recent data so you don't need to open it every day to keep the data fresh. And as a final point - I added widgets to both home and lock screens.Please let

Show HN: SlickFast Deterministic Chart/Dash Renderer, No Browser(JSON → SVG/PNG)https://slickfast.com/SlickFast started 6 months ago, and evolved in a super backwards way. I was using lowfruits to look for good SEO keywords, I wanted to make a simple free tool to rank with SEO. I found some great keywords related to graphs/charts. I did research for optimizing for SEO. Turns out edge processing / using static HTML is super fast and lightweight, great for SEO. I made freepiechartmaker.com. I was really blown away by how fast the site was loading, and how lightweight all the processing was. The site renders changes on the fly, and is much much faster than other sites in the space. I started looking into the tech, pure math rendering, and I saw a lot of openings for what this tech can do. That's how SlickFast was made.SlickFast is a JSON input > pure javascript SVG Native render core > with PNG+SVG output. No headless chrome. No library calls. deterministic output. on my local machine(m1 max) it renders 140,000 svg charts a second. PNG @ ~50/sec at retina (scale-2) and ~145/sec at scale-1

Do You Think OpenAI Is Apple Circa the 1980s?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49178393OpenAI is a deeply mismanaged company. Most recently, a blog post that feels like it has got to have dozens of PR violations, responding to the Apple lawsuit.More broadly, OpenAI’s main problem is that it does not have a real competitive advantage. No real models do; the real differentiation is price; they will become commodities. The need to move upwards in the market in enterprise software is difficult since the current stack should remain the same, since sticking with Salesforce plus its new AI features is much simpler than the cost of switching to an AI-first startup version, which won’t be around 3 to 5 years from now. So consumer hardware and trying to become the next Apple could work, except you would likely have to focus on people not in the Apple ecosystem because of the double-sided lock-in Apple has.The opposite dynamic works in consumer and mobile, really. Apple with AI is a much worse experience than something AI-first built from the ground up. Especially considering the c

Show HN: Sagorax, a Three.js/WebGPU Arena Shooter in the Browserhttps://sagorax.com/I built Sagorax because I missed the speed and simplicity of UT99 and UT2k4. It now has both Instagib and classic weapons Deathmatch with plasma combos, flak, shotguns, charged rocket salvos, loadouts, adrenaline abilities, tactical bots and full controller support.No installation, just pick a gamertag and play: https://sagorax.comThe client is built with TypeScript, Three.js and WebGPU. Under the hood it uses FSR 3-based upscaling, adaptive dynamic resolution, GPU pipeline warmup, screen-space reflections, dynamic lighting and shadows, visibility culling and a custom post-processing pipeline.Multiplayer is next if there is enough interest (looking good so far).If you had told me a few months ago that this would be possible in a browser, I wouldn’t have believed you. But Opus 5 + GPT-5.6-Sol = GODMODE.Feedback is very welcome.
