eric_khun··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
Got lot of traction on a multiplayer web game pong [1].

Now working on releasing on steam, android, ios. Also made an ssh version you can access via your terminal [2]. Hoping could get as many downloads in native platforms.

eric_khun··on Connecting every app to every other app
I had a few asks about the ability to send users from other website to my game platform.

I'm wondering if a straight forward way for them to "send" their connected users to my platform? Should I simply create users on the fly ?

(I'm using better auth with login via gmail in my platform)

I have some super specialized workflow I wish I can run with their model, but looks like they don't allow programmatic call (claude code and codex allows it) in their plan.
eric_khun··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2026 – Show and tell
Building a multiplayer game platform. Built a multiplayer pong game to dog feed the platform, and it got viral. Decided to make presales for it and got a little over $700 sales so far . if you want to give it a try, play it here https://antics.gg/p/side-out-94df7d

Antics (https://antics.gg): a site to play silly little multiplayer games with friends, and to make your own by using our MCP

The bet is that current models are good enough that anyone can one-shot a fun browser game. What they can't generate is the multiplayer part (server, WebSockets, state sync, hosting), so that's the only part we've built: a browser SDK plus a hosted relay. Deploy a game, get one link, and everyone who opens it is in the same room.

Quickest way to see it: open any game on https://antics.gg/games in two tabs.

eric_khun··on Flowise Is Shutting Down
Trying to make an harness and not falling behind with how fast those frontier model evolve is hard. We've built our own harness to make games, but it became obsolete as soon as a new model dropped. Gave up and now just letting user use whatever harness they want on their side.

link to the benchmark against parakeet TDT v2 (the one im using now with spokenly) : https://get-inscribe.com/blog/parakeet-moss-apple-speech-ben...

NVIDIA Parakeet TDT v2 still best, but look like apple is not far behind.

i'd be happy to switch to yours if you add parakeet support, but that ight defy the purpose of the repo

eric_khun··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (July 2026)
I have ADHD, and my calendar is a graveyard of things that were totally fine right up until they were on fire.

So about to release an iOS app that sends me early notifications about what to actually prepare, or do.

Best examples so far: on my last trip it pinged me the night before with a packing list based on the weather at my destination. Also reminding me to book a table for a dinner planned.

It's here for the waiting list: https://heylife.ai

shameless plug, been working a a voxel editor to create voxels that you could use to decorate a home for a a little creature you have to take care of(a la sims). if anyone has some feedbacks, would be happy to take them!

eric_khun··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)
Working on a proactive AI agents that read your calendar and give you pertinent advices on what you should do. For example you have a flight in 2 weeks, tell you what to pack. When you arrive , tells you the best way to get to the city.

You have your mum's birthday, give you a heads up on buying a gift or booking a restaurant.

I'm now enrolling people on testflight: https://heylife.ai

it would be awesome if a local model would be directly embeded to chrome and developer could query them.

Anyone know if this is somehow possible without going through an extension?

eric_khun··on Minions – Stripe's Coding Agents Part 2
is there a way to visualize what your agents are doing? I'm adding a bunch of debug code to the claude agent sdk, but it's a bit overwhelming to read at some time , but I just want to see visually what how it does all the tools calling, what files it reads etc…

eric_khun··on Migrating from AWS to Hetzner
appreciate the advice! Launching a 2D game generator with an editor, and expecting those people to share the games . Not multiplayer yet.

The lightsail instance sometimes just hangs and we have to reboot it when people performing simple action like login or queryng API (we have a simple express / nextjs app)

eric_khun··on Migrating from AWS to Hetzner
AWS won't raise the limits on our new account (we're stuck at 1GB RAM in Lightsail after 2 months, even though we need to launch this month).

Looking at Hetzner or Vultr as alternatives. A few folks mentioned me Infomaniak has great service and uptime, but I haven't heard much about them otherwise.

Anyone used Infomaniak in production? How do they compare to Hetzner/Vultr?
