Show HN: Rules-free solo-only client for the Paperback tabletop gamehttps://wanderinghorse.net/gaming/paperback/solo.htmlMy past couple of weeks were spent writing an app with which to play the word-spelling tabletop game Paperback in the browser.Tim Fowers, creator and publisher of the game, has given me permission to post my homemade electronic copy of the game (initially built so that i could print-and-play a copy with "US-Mini" size cards), and recently sent me (much to my surprise) the publisher's official graphical assets and an invitation to use them in this little side-project(!!!).The version housed at that link has a known bug or two (there's one too many 7-cent W's, for one thing) but it's otherwise believed to be usable for its intended purpose: allowing an experienced Paperback player to sit and play solo mode without the app interfering rules- or dictionary-wise. (My only real fuss about their official app is the locked dictionary. It does not allow the word "pawn", nor a wide range of other perfectly viable words. Secondarily, i'd like to be able to customize the game more and remove all o

Ask HN: How has the internet devolved in recent years?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48866959I'll start with 10:1. "Verifying you are human" delays/redirects2. Invasive "Sign in with Google[1]" prompts on every website, often taking over the UI3. Phone number based identity so when you change your number you lose your entire savings account and social media and all work access and your whole life is basically F-CKED except your romantic life which is very much NOT F-CKED since nobody knows your number.Never change your number.4. "You will own nothing" gaming where games you thought you owned get yoinked away at the leisure dare I say the PLEASURE of these neocorporate ingrates who want to de-fun (and defund) every lived experience!5. You can join any time you want but you can never delete. Livin it up at the Hotel Social Media. What a nice surprise, livin' someone else's life!6. You have been banished!7.

Show HN: PandaPage – host an HTML page with one curl, no signup, auto-expireshttps://pandapage.clawshop.shI wanted to put a quick HTML page online to share, a mockup or a one-off demo, without a signup, a git repo, or a build step. Existing options all wanted one of those, so I built this.One request creates a site:``` curl -X POST https://pandapage.clawshop.sh/api/deploy \ -H "content-type: application/json" \ -d '{"files":{"index.html":"hi"}}' ```You get back a URL like pandapage.clawshop.sh// and a token. The token is the only thing gating updates and deletes, so there are no accounts. You can also POST a zip instead of JSON, and binaries go as base64.Pages expire after 24h by default (configurable per deploy from 10 minutes to 7 days, and re-deploying resets the clock). Expiry is a KV key TTL, so a page starts returning 404 the moment it lapses, and an R2 lifecycle rule sweeps the underlying files a few days later. No cron job.Because it is just a JSON API with no auth handshake, coding agents can deploy to it directly. I gave Claude Code a short prompt and now "host this page" turns i

Show HN: envapt, typed env config for decoupled TS codebases (Node to edge)https://github.com/materwelonDhruv/envaptHi HN. I'm Dhruv and I've been working on envapt for about a year now and I've FINALLY completed the roadmap I scope creeped and QA'd over the past few months. It reads environment config in TypeScript and returns the typed value instead of string | undefined, from whatever source you bind. It runs on Node, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers, the browser, and well, anywhere.Most typed-env libraries have you declare every variable in one central schema and read the result from one object. That works well for a single application. Mostly. That didn't work for me because in a framework or a monorepo, decoupled packages each read their own config values, and sharing one config object across every package just doesn't make sense to me, plus some other nits.envapt does the opposite. You bind a source once at startup, and on Node/Deno/Bun it binds your .env files and process.env for you, with cascading profiles per environment. After that, ANY typed read in ANY file uses that source, and each valu

Show HN: Whentofly – flexible-date flight search that says if the price is goodhttps://whentofly.ioHi there! My name is Dima, that's my first post here. Originally I'm an iOS Engineer for 6+ years but now I'm diving deep into AI, product building and everything around it.Here I want to present my first product which I built for two months - as usual for tech background guy I was trying to make it perfect but then decided to start distributing it along future improvements, anywayI got an idea when were discussing another travel idea with my personal agent - it can suggest where to fly, what are places to visit and etc but can't find the best windows to fly there, and nobody can - every time you need to open Google Flights, Kayak and search each date, then watch it and try to figure out is it a good price or not, should you wait 2 days or buy it right now? And each website provides different rates... Using API even not freeSo I build this one. Under the hood we put fares from different sources, aggregators, cross-checked against live market prices.

Show HN: I hated how much my 12-year-old played Roblox, so we built our own FPShttps://cooked.houseI'm a father of two, 7 and 12. They are obsessed with Roblox, especially Rivals.Like a lot of parents, we did not love it. We tried the usual things: block it, limit it, set timers." It became a daily battle, a lose-lose situation.So I flipped the problem.Instead of fighting what they loved, I decided to lean into it, but with a twist.Why just play an FPS when you could build one together?My kids became the PMs. Claude and I became their engineer.I was shocked by how fast we moved. We picked a name, Cooked and started building.Get in. Lock in. Get cooked!In the first 3 hours, we had an actual FPS we could play together in the browser.Next day I invited my friend's two kids over. Suddenly, I had four PMs.We had 3 laptops, 1 iPad and 1 iPhone.So in 30mins we added mobile support and could play all 5 together.The kids would ask for features:"Can we have a rocket launcher that knocks people off the map?""The knife should stab faster when you hold it."I know almost nothing about FPS design,

Superintellignce is still decades awayhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48731740In 2022 - I thought that we got closer to AGI with LLMs, but it turned out LLMs were more like the engine of intelligence than intelligence itself.In 2023 - I started to understand how important memory is to the system, and the intelligence is a storage problem as much as it is a processing problem.In 2024 - I started to realize that AGI is the wrong term all together and that intelligence can't be solved with scale alone.In 2025 - I started to understand just how many components needs to work together to build a real agent. We started calling them agents because they have many different moving components nothing else described them. RAG became obsolete as it was too rigid to keep up. Not only we needed an LLM, memory & orchestrator, but also perception & RAI.Now in 2026 I am starting to understand just how complex intelligence is, which I would have understood sooner if I took more biology courses in uni.
