Show HN: The Simpsons Hit and Run Revampedhttps://github.com/xaskasdf/The-Simpsons-Hit-and-Run

Hey folks, was browsing around for some videogame references and found a leaked Simpsons Hit n Run game source, so i took it and fixed some pretty bad issues with running the game on Windows 11 with a widescreen, including some broken audio stuff, memory leaks and security holes and forced letterbox video res. Also added some experiments that works, but they clearly need some love: DXR (Global PathTracing) and OpenXR (as for now, VR needs DXR too). I plan to add mac and linux support, and maybe OpenXR with the "original" renderer Added a Release build for putting along the original videogame…

Show HN: Vanity Domain Generatorhttps://vanitydomain.net

When each of my kids got to the age that they started using email and having an online presence, I got them their own vanity domain by going to a "fake word generator" and then taking the best-looking fake words and doing a registrar search for it. With my youngest son starting the process, I thought "I'll save time going back and forth and integrate the process. Surely it can't be that hard." Making it happen was easy. Making it something I would share was harder. It's implemented as a single-page app at https://vanitydomain.net , with all of the logic on the client side. It takes the top 10…

Show HN: Harvester, a local first media collection tool for sample based artistshttps://github.com/sxrvys/harvester

I make music that's entirely found sound/sample based. It occurred to me that on every social media site (particularly Instagram) I would have thousands of saved posts because of some sound or visual content that I thought I might like to sample someday. I made Harvester, a local-first Firefox extension for collecting source material for sampling, collage, VJing, editing, and research. Harvester natively preserves media from individual Instagram, Youtube, and Reddit posts as well as visible video and audio from other websites that expose ordinary audio or video. Harvester not only saves the o…

For the past few years i've been on Duolingo & was able to learn Hindi & Spanish (even helped me get state seal of biliteracy) One of the biggest problems that I see in my generation (Gen Z) is loneliness. I love Duolingo's community, but sometimes (well actually oftentimes), I felt myself struggling to come back. Online language learning is a skill where dominantly, the entire motivation is connection and the entire daily practice is solitude. Nobody learns Spanish to know Spanish. They learn it to talk to their partner's family, to not be the silent one at the table, to move somewhere and h…

Hi HN, I’m Lloyd, one of two founders of RonanRx. We are building a vertically integrated pharmaceutical company with software for prescribing, telehealth, compounding, manufacturing, and delivery. We are starting with GLP-1s and peptides. The path to RonanRx is fairly unconventional. During the pandemic, I built one of the largest mask manufacturing factories in the US. We could make a million masks in a day. We converted raw polypropylene pellets into finished pallets of masks. I had a background in software from my YC W10 company, so we took a software approach to building our factory. W…

Light software keeps a machine useful long after the vendor decided it should not be. Unfortunately, minimal desktop environments usually come with many hours of configuration files to write to make them nice or sometimes even just useful. I don't think that's necessary, and I have been building a set of tools to prove that. The first one is dewlock; a swaylock fork, that looks similar to what you would get on GNOME, MacOS, or Windows, with a fraction of the resources. You can of course customize it, but you don't have to. I have a few more tools in the making, but I would like to start heari…
