Show HN: Repo Roast – a real-time feed of the funniest comments on GitHubhttps://www.reporoast.fun/Hey HN - I'm Mason, and I'm excited to share a fun side project I've been working on recently: Repo Roast.For me, Github often feels like a serious (and sometimes soulless) place. I built this website to showcase the human, silly side of developers. Repo Roast is built on top of LLM-powered GitHub analytics tooling we’re developing internally at Merit Systems [0].One of the historically cited weak points for LLMs has been their sense of humor. I found that with the right prompt, at scale, they mostly can _identify_ humor pretty well. We experimented with a couple of different models to tune the cost/effectiveness and eventually landed on a strategy where we have gpt-4o-mini do a very light filter pass to reduce the number of calls to GPT-4o to do the actual humor scoring. Interestingly, our first prompt attempts ended up surfacing wayyy more aggressively NSFW content, which is funny that this happens despite all the censoring that OpenAI is doing.So far we have processed the last 90 daApr 9, 2025 7:10 PM

Show HN: Eventkit- a better way to work with data streams in JavaScripthttps://github.com/hntrl/eventkitHey HN! I've spent the last few weeks working on eventkit, an open source library designed for working with data streams in TS/JS.I had a need to track all the work associated with handling application events. If you're familiar at all with reactive systems or what that entails, having this sort of functionality is super important.If you're familiar with observables or RxJS, this library is very similar but with better side effect management and using async generators. (I found an old HN comment that's somewhat related [1])[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36911516I'd love to hear your feedback!Apr 9, 2025 6:53 PM

Show HN: JØKU – Web game I built if you fancy pokerhttps://playjoku.comI managed to finish a little passion project of mine – a game called JØKU, where you play Poker Hands on a grid and try to get the highest score.Continue reading if you are interested about my process.I'm a recent dad with a full-time job, so those who are in the same position can relate that my free time is almost non-existent. I've had this idea for a game for some time, heavily inspired by playing Balatro. Even though I had made games with Unity before, I thought a lightweight web app was the way to go for this, but the thought of learning a whole new framework was overwhelming.I was able to get the core idea of the game prototyped on a Sunday afternoon. This first prototype was built with pure JS/HTML/CSS, a single file that was 3k lines long. I showed the prototype to friends and family, and people were hooked! I had more ideas, though, so it was time to refactor the whole thing with a proper web framework.It's been more or less a month since then, and I've been refining the game,Apr 9, 2025 12:55 PM
