danielrw7on Kaizen: Open-ended puzzle automation game from the original Zachtronics team

I am so happy to be playing a "Zachtronics" game in 2025! I hope this new company continues to be a good structure for them to make these kind of games as they have interest

danielrw7on Show HN: Spindle, a cross between Wordle and a Rubik's Cube made in PHP

I love wordle games and this seems like a fun addition! On mobile (Android, Firefox/Chrome), I can't figure out how to spin words longer than 2 letters long, it just flashes red or spins the letters immediately after I tap the second letter

Both the "react-scroll-shadow" link on the left of the demo and the github cat link to https://github.com/zzarcon/react-circle

danielrw7on Show HN: A module to color console messages || NodeJs

Yeah, it's very easy for npm dependencies to get out of hand. What I didn't notice when I made my comment (and what you commented on) was that the node_modules dir was actually added to the git project. If that were removed (and a .gitignore line added) and the package.json dependencies were fixed then it should truly have no dependencies upon install.

I'm not too familiar with travis/codecov, but maybe you could add "npm install" to your .travis.yml "install" section? That way the dependencies would be downloaded before the scripts ran.

I'd recommend that you add a .gitignore line for the node_modules folder, which will reduce the size of the git project by a lot

Yes, but the package.json's production dependencies [0] includes codecov [1] for CI which includes request [2] which includes another 22 dependencies. Moving that to the devDependencies should be fine since the main script doesn't require any modules.

danielrw7on Show HN: GitMagic – Enforce your GitHub contribution guidelines

It took me a while to figure out that there was a second page with no scrollbar and a non-obvious arrow.

danielrw7on Show HN: Ascii Art to Data URI

This bit is great:

  box = box.replace(/#/g, function() { 
  	i++
  	if (str[i]) { 
  		return str[i] 
  	} else { 
  		return "";
  	}
  });

It would be cool if you could select which characters (or all characters except for space) will be replaced with the data URI.
