From Guy: Rigged up my Home Assistant install with a cheap little QR code scanner to allow my daughter to choose what she wants to watch without ever needing to expose her to the thumbnail hellscape that is the YouTube app. No algorithms allowed!

RuneScape automation library, optimized for use by coding agents.

From Max: Use it to play Runescape afk and fulfill your dreams of getting all 99s, or build and control a bot swarm.

A protocol and client for securely playing multiplayer snake over the internet.

From Nolen: snakes.run is the most secure way to play multiplayer snake. Just type ssh snakes.run in your terminal to join. This was originally an “easy” project to understand the SSH protocol, but I ended up doing a bunch of goofy performance hacking to make it work, which is one of my favorite things to do.

Apps like songs. Discover apps made by independent makers.

From Danger Testing: Appstar is a new creative class, an artist that speaks about culture and life, and uses software as their artistic medium. This week we decided it’s time to give this class the tools they need.

A Firefox extension to build an archive of contextual data & information about CAPTCHAs encountered during everyday browsing.

From Leslie: My graduate thesis is about the legacy of CAPTCHAs as a crowdsourcing platform. While we may think about the data labeling work we do (to train whose + which machine learning models?) as trivial, the framing of it as being tied to our supposed humanness is worth digging into. This extension in its v0 form here downloads any CAPTCHA media encountered during web browsing, with a session.json log to gather additional telemetry. It’s quite scrappy; I’m rewriting it (with ample LLM synthesis help) to become a working diary of CAPTCHA encounters.

A radar speed sign that displays your words per minute.

Relax or experiment with over 500 materials in this falling sand simulator.

Can you beat an 80s adventure game without a walkthrough? Prove it by taking the world's first standardized gaming exam.
