karanveer··on We put Claude Code in Rollercoaster Tycoon
the beauty of this game was that it was developed in Assembly Code and on top of that by majorly one person.

I've been trying to locate the dev of this game since a long time, so I can thank them for an amazing experience.

If anyone knows their social or anything, please do share, including OP.

Also, nice work on CC in this. May actually be interested in Claude Code now.

karanveer··on Show HN: I made a SPA to quickly practice/test/improvise my typing
I ommited this line in point 1: ..."and then paste it, and you can edit it too where you wish to paste/post."

my apologies.

karanveer··on Show HN: I made a SPA to quickly practice/test/improvise my typing
Hey thanks! To answer few of your points: 1. If I understand rightly, If you finish the typing, there is an option to share that pops up, then in that it takes your wpm and accuracy and sets a pre written little paragraph. You can share on X or Threads, or directly Copy the text and then paste it [I've provided the copy button].

2. I could, I don't know if it would fit in to its simplicity, I'm trying to set this apart for beginners especially because some other tools are too intimidating to start with.. you could help me understand this feature more. Maybe I can work around this.. This is a good one though, I will have a look into this.

3. Initially it was 0%, but I thought I'd do it 100% and as the user types it remains 100%, until he makes a typo and it drops. Like a minus minus effect from 100, so the type will try to keep it at 100. This is just personal opinion tbh.

Make sense?

do share the db you used for starters and the overall stack like MERN or MEAN or Firestore BAAS or Supabase or something extremely different..
karanveer··on Moving away from US cloud services
i dont think its that easy as others pointed out but yes I think it would help to have some strict startups around EU maybe that force companies to comply...but then again, from indie hackers/indei makers sides, europe hasnt been too incentivized/friendly for/to start ups either compared to other parts of the world...I think this is one of the major reasons.
karanveer··on Show HN: Standard vs. Commercial Internet Speed Tester Extension
I did it twice. One a few days ago which was a blunder. Next I probably don't think I will here the same link for a few months.

Thank you and apologize for the inconvenience.

karanveer··on Show HN: Extension _> Test your REAL internet speed within seconds
Hi guys

I created this initially for myself and seeing the doubts I used to check my internet speed at least once a day just because I sometimes found my ISP non reliable.

I see there are amazing services that are used like speedtest.net by ookla or fast.com by netflix but those are commercial speed with optimized servers and this led me to think what if I could just try a different algo to get a more real speed to what I get..hence I introduce 2 modes in this tool, one is standard which is real life speeds and other is commercial which is what we get closer to ookla style speed test results.

I will be also doing a technical article on this and how the tool works within a week or 2, until then this is the short story.

I would love for you to try it or you can completely discard it if its not up to your style of work or doesn't fit in your workflow.

See ya!

I'd appreciate if you could take a minute and check it out and give your feedback!

Basically it is linktree but with your links each having it's own description.

Goal is to help struggling small business owners and content creators so the model is PWYW and more features to be added as well.
