Show HN: Snaketron – Competitive multiplayer Snake. Back after 14 yearshttps://snaketron.io

Hi HN, I just completed a rewrite of Snaketron, a competitive multiplayer Snake game. (Yes, yes, in Rust) A quick funny story about this game's history: Back in 2012 I had (poorly) implemented the first version of Snaketron. The issue with it was that I was keeping game state on the client, and while I did realize that it was insecure, I also had no idea what to do about it without increasing latency to unplayable levels. I was still in school, never worked on games, and haven't even heard of the term "netcode" before. The excitement of releasing my first pet project got the better of me, and…

Show HN: Murmell – Collaborative cloud canvas for coding agentshttps://murmell.com

Hey HN! I'm Moss'Ab. Murmell ( https://murmell.com ) is an infinite canvas where coding agents run together in the cloud instead of on your laptop. It's like Google Docs, except the other editors are you, your teammates, and a set of agents all working in the same canvas. Short demo: https://app.murmell.com/demo The idea came out of a YC hackathon. We were trying to build the thing under extrem pressure, deploying at the very last minute, but with several agents working in parallel, all the branches collided. Everything broke at the worst possible moment and we spent the end of it untangling…

Show HN: Sapporta – build database applications for power usershttps://sapporta.com

Sapporta is an MIT licensed framework built on top of Hono and React. To me it is a reenactment of dBase, FoxPro, and MS Access, but for the LLM era. All of these tools had application wizards that would create tables, queries, forms, and reports, and I think that is still a valid composition for database applications. So in Sapporta, the moment you define a table, you immediately get a data-grid that gives you comboboxes for foreign key fields, has sorting, filtering, and the various affordances that tools like AirTable and NocoDB provide. (The datagrid is built from scratch, as AgGrid, Hand…

Big business has shown small firms what to do – and what not to do – with AI | Gene Markshttps://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/aug/30/ai-small-business

Small business owners have watched large companies fumble – and sometimes succeed – with AI, and then use what works One thing I’ve learned about corporate America is that what it succeeds at ultimately trickles down to benefit small businesses. Bleeding-edge technologies such as the internet, mobile transactions and the cloud were first perfected by large organizations – government and corporations – and now they’re available to the masses at a much lower cost and with better reliability. The good news is that it’s also the same for what they fail at. Continue reading...
