IMAGEShow HN: Per Diem, a daily dice game like BalatroI love Balatro and have had a fascination with daily games recently. RNGdle in particular sparked my interest because of its dopamine-factory style gameplay. Per Diem takes a similar approach.In Per Diem, each day you cast 5 dice from a sack randomly. The pips and patterns (ie. snake eyes) are scored, producing your final score for the day. You get one roll a day, so the challenge is maximizing your scoring potential. Charms are the mechanism by which you tilt the odds in your favour: charms can modify the pip score and the multiplier. Each day presents a new "encounter" which slightly modifies the rules of the game, requiring a new strategic approach.Because charms are not freely available, the game scales over days as you score points, earn coins, and purchase better charms from the shop. In order to keep your score and charms you should sign in. Currently only Discord sign ins are supported - this is admittedly a bit of a growth hack: when you sign in, you can see a leaderboard for

Ask HN: How do we get our US Cellular (T-Mobile?) phone number back? (complex)Hello HN, I volunteer at a small school who lost its phone number with US Cellular at the end of June. They had some kind of business cellular landline service which US Cellular decided to discontinue, probably due to the upcoming merger at the time.I can't get US Cellular or T-Mobile to do anything because the US Cellular account is deactivated, but when I look the number up on unlec.com I can see it belongs to US Cellular still. So, my understanding is that the company is technically able to allow it to port or set up a new line of service, but the front line workers are unable to do anything about it.Is there anyone I can talk to about this? School starts on Monday. Unfortunately this got lost in the shuffle over the summer and we didn't even realize this was a problem until this week (month?). I'm tempted to call/email all the T-Mobile or US Cellular NOCs I can but I realize that could be counterproductive.I want to cut over our new UniFi Talk system to a Twilio trunk but this is t
Show HN: It Was Never YouHi HN! I made my first iOS app -users can swap out an ex or friend for someone else in their photo library.I did this as a bit of a lark. I hope you find it entertaining, at least. At its most serious, it’s a Black Mirror-style note on the future we’re enabling in the AI age. It’s not an app I’d ever use or recommend people use.I suppose that’s the question I’m asking myself, and now you, with this - while I intentionally built something I wouldn’t want to see in the world, how are you dealing with the feeling that software you build is or isn’t making the world a better place?What a weird time to be alive!
Show HN: FeatureFlags.app – Feature Management for .NETFeature flags are common these days, and the .NET feature management library provides a lot of the plumbing to make them easy to get started with. The missing piece is a UI for managing flags - unless you are using Azure App Configuration. Relying on `appSettings.json` gets awkward when non-technical users need to change flags, deploys are slow, or the application is running in a distributed environment.I built FeatureFlags.app to fill that gap - a simple UI for managing .NET feature flags that doesn't require Azure App Configuration. It's still early, so I'd love feedback from anyone who has dealt with feature flags in .NET.
