Show HN: Mochia, a virtual pet browser game, built with Rust, SolidJS, Postgreshttps://mochia.net/Around three years ago, I was reminiscing about how much I loved playing Neopets as a kid. Meanwhile, I was also looking for a project to better learn Rust and SolidJS. So.. I figured making my own virtual pet browser game would be a fun way to practice! Since then, I’ve been working on it nearly every day, and.. it’s grown quite a bit! Here are some bulleted lists for your convenience:Technical Details: * Backend monolithic Rust server runs on a single $5/month VPS * Lean frontend with just 3 dependencies (SolidJS, Solid Router, and Mutative) * Around 130,000 combined lines of code (frontend + backend) * Rust server uses axum, sqlx, tokio, rand, strum, tungstenite (websockets) * No server crashes or data loss in 3 years (thank you Rust + Postgres!) * Almost all graphics (500+ assets) are SVGs for perfect detail at every zoom level * Fully mobile responsive and playable on all modern browsers and devices * Actor model for player actions enables trivial parallel, multi-core scaling * SiJul 3, 2025 5:00 PM

One line email taught me more about communication than months of buildinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44453367I'm Francesco, as you might have read here I'm building a job application tool called interviuu, and this morning, like every morning, I was checking emails. After recent launch day my inbox looks like a mix of user feedback and people offering their services, but there was also this one message that really hit me."Interesting approach no free time don’t know what’s behind the curtain just pay the money good luck"Super simple email, just a few lines, but the value was huge. Made me realize that if my startup doesn't have a free trial (or freemium plan) I have to communicate the real value of the product way better on the landing page or in any educational content.I'm not saying this is some groundbreaking discovery or that it wasn't obvious, but there are certain interactions when you launch that make you pay attention to these obvious things a lot more.So, for me, a clear, realistic view of what your product actually does can solve three major issues: - Potential misunderstandings andJul 3, 2025 9:52 AM

Show HN: touchgrass.fm, an app that made me more present during a family tragedyhttps://www.touchgrass.fmhttps://www.touchgrass.fmAbout one month ago while visiting us from overseas, my wife’s parents were in a terrible car accident. Everyone involved is alive and going to be okay. But what followed was a series of emotional, physical and logistical challenges that pushed my wife and her family to their limits.For the first week we were practically glued to our phones, contacting family members, insurance companies and air ambulance services. I found myself obsessively checking my phone for updates, sending empty messages and mindlessly scrolling feeds. My screen time reached all time highs. I was spending 12 of my 16 waking hours staring at a screen instead of being there for my wife and her parents. It felt like I was hiding on my phone.I don’t have a particularly addictive personality, but I am undeniably addicted to my phone. And this was the week I finally needed to deal with it.I tried Apple Screen Time and a few popular screen time management apps, but found the blocks were too easJul 2, 2025 2:00 PM
