Ask HN: Best stack for building a tiny game with an 11-year-old?
I want to make a simple game together with the 11-year-old daughter of a friend during a weekend where they stay over.I have a Mac and Claude Code Max and Codex, so I am equipped to create AI-slop. I’m happy to do some setup and pre-wiring. Mainly I want her to understand some basics and feel the joy of building something visual in a few hours. Based on historical experience it will have to be something with pink unicorns.I tried Godot, but it felt like too much complexity for this use case. If
Stripe withheld $85k from our EU platform
I'm the founder of Zorq AI (zorqai.com), an AI video and image generation platform based in Sweden. I want to share what happened to us as a warning to other founders, and to seek advice from anyone who has been through something similar. We launched in November 2025 and grew quickly. On March 24, Stripe flagged our account for a routine credit review due to a spike in volume. We submitted all requested documents.

Uni feels so usless, I cant focus anymore
Im a 18 y/o first year student, and I honestly have always liked school, been super passionate about CS forever, loved school sports and all that jazz.Dont get me wrong I love my uni, its a great school, very good global recognition and stuff, and lots of cool opportunities and stuff going on. I'm a really passionate guy and I love building, and so I literally on the first day just walked into the CS professors office hours, and was showing him stuff I built. I got offered a research p

Show HN: Cronbox – Schedule AI Agents
Cronbox is a cron, where an AI agent wakes up and works on a schedule. We believe a lot of repetitive tasks can benefit a lot from AI agents. And scheduling them in the cloud keeps you hands-free.You can do things like, taking screenshot of a site, resize it to size 1000 x 1000, and look for price changes on the page and get notified via email.Or ask it to draw svg of a 'pelican riding a bicyle' whenever a new model is released on openai and mail it to you.Every job runs in its own lin
Show HN: SwiftNet v0.5.0 – Networking Library
Hello.I’ve been working on a networking library for the past year. It operates at Layer 2, which means it handles custom Ethernet headers, IP headers, and its own protocol data.It’s made for simplicity, experiments and mostly for making my own multiplayer video game in OpenGL.I would really appreciate any tips, reviews or comments. My goal is to really make this library usable, which cannot be done without proper decision making by other people besides me.It has its own thread-safe memory alloca
Show HN: Shrouded, secure memory management in Rust
Hi HN!I've been building a project that handles high-value credentials in-process, and I wanted something more robust than just zeroing memory on drop. A comment on a recent Show HN[0] made me realize that awareness of lower-level memory protection techniques might not be as widespread as I thought.The idea here is to pull out all the tools in one crate, with a relatively simple API. * mlock/VirtualLock to prevent sensitive memory from being swapped (eg the KeePass dump) * Core dump ex
Show HN: Homelabinator, the easiest way to self-host
Hey HN! Just got my HN account created recently but I've been around the block a decent bit.Myself and a few friends love self-hosting, but believe that it’s hard to get started. So we created what we believe to be the easiest gateway to homelabbing, and we called it Homelabinator!It is an opinionated customization of NixOS, built on the shoulders of the giants that are NixOS and K3s. Allowing you to enter the world of homelabbing, without being a Linux expert.To celebrate our launch, we ar
Show HN: Locro – Fast and accurate local OCR through Chrome's screen_ai
A month ago, @Stagnant posted in this thread about how Chrome ships with a open source OCR tool that is only available from the browser:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46977802This looked incredibly useful but sadly there were no Python wrappers, so I followed his instructions and built one.It's incredibly fast and accurate (I had my doubts but wow!). I tested the Windows and Linux implementations, and I'm sure expanding the wrapper for macOS should be trivial for a
