THIS GUY MADE A CHESS GAME AND REPLACED ALL THE PIECES WITH CATS
the game is called Cat Chess and it's a fresh take on the classic strategy board game. instead of traditional pieces, players will use cats with unique personalities and breeds. for example, stray cats will have different abilities than house cats.
> stray cats vs house cats
> play with your cats while waiting for the opponentโs turn
> the purrfect chess game
this twist on chess could make the game more appealing to a wider audience, especially cat lovers and those looking for a more lighthearted gaming experience.
THIS GUY BUILT A SACRED SPACE ON THE INTERNET FOR SINCERE MUSIC RECOMMENDATIONS
he's julius, a computer science major from sweden. he wanted a space where people could share one song recommendation and a personal story each week, and get five back in return.
the idea is simple, but the execution is what sets it apart. users rank the songs they receive, which helps the system map out music tastes and make recommendations more personalized over time.
> users share one song recommendation and a personal story each week
> receive five song recommendations in return
> rank the songs to help the system map out music tastes
he originally built it because he wanted to use a space like this himself. now, it's grown to 83 people sharing a song each week. you can try it out at https://t.co/AEM7wpFckz
THIS GUY BUILT A TOOL TO HIDE PRIVATE WINDOWS DURING SCREEN SHARES AND GOT TOLD IT DESTROYS WORKPLACE TRANSPARENCY
the idea is to keep your private notes or sensitive apps visible to you, while your audience sees a completely clean desktop with zero taskbar clutter. it's not about hiding anything from your team, it's about a boundary between your local workspace and the team screen share.
> keeps your private notes and sensitive apps visible to you
> shows the audience a clean desktop, zero taskbar clutter
> private windows can even go semi-transparent
so where's the line between digital privacy and transparency in remote work? is wanting a hard boundary gatekeeping, or is expecting total screen visibility just micromanagement?

THIS GUY TURNED HIS CEILING INTO A LIVE MAP OF EVERY PLANE FLYING OVERHEAD
he lives right under SFO's takeoff path. most people would just be annoyed by the jets screaming over the house all day. he decided to track them instead.
now every plane that passes above him, he grabs its ADS-B radio signal straight out of the air and beams the flight path onto his ceiling, live. you lie in bed, look up, and the jet that's actually overhead draws itself across the room.
> an antenna picks up the planes' live ADS-B signals from the sky
> a projector paints each flight path onto the ceiling in real time
> no app or account behind it, he just built the whole thing himself
the kind of thing you build when the sky outside your window is too good to ignore.
THIS GUY BUILT A MACOS APP THAT ROASTS YOU WHEN YOU GET DISTRACTED
he was tired of productivity apps that take themselves too seriously, so he built Babe Why. it's a menu bar app with zero actual substance. it just sits there and makes fun of you when you open twitter, youtube, or whatever else instead of working.
> over 1,000 lines of custom dialogue across 5 distinct personas
> swift-native, universal binary, zero invasive permissions
> built purely to give you emotional damage when you slack off
if you want a real focus tool, buy something else. this one just bullies you off your distractions. it's at https://t.co/ilavifP1Br

THIS GUY BUILT TINDER FOR YOUR INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS
he's on his 4th coding project and just launched ThoughtMatch. type a raw personal thought and you get dropped into a chat room with someone feeling the exact same way.
here's how it works:
> type a raw thought, get matched with a stranger feeling the same way
> matching runs on OpenAI embeddings + a custom database function, not keywords
> no human match yet? an AI buddy steps in so you're never left hanging

THIS DUDE TURNED DOOMSCROLLING INTO GAMBLING
he made a Chrome extension that scans every page you're on for matches with prediction markets on Kalshi.
here's what it actually does:
> scans every page and highlights any text that matches a live Kalshi market
> hover the highlight and a tooltip shows the market, the odds, and a link to bet
> works anywhere you scroll โ NBA Twitter, geopolitics, or any topic you're into
he's been using it to scroll NBA Twitter and sports bet, but it works for wagering on geopolitical events or anything else.
the extension is called Anywager and it's on the Chrome Web Store: https://t.co/8UlSiVbwVW
THIS APP LETS YOU SEE HOW MUCH OF THE WORLD YOUโVE ACTUALLY EXPLORED
it's called HexStep, and it passively fills in hex tiles on your map as you move around. you can view breakdowns by region and even compete with others.
> passively fills in hex tiles on your map
> view breakdowns by region, like countries, states/provinces, and cities
> allows users to create an account, but also usable without one
the app is available on the app store, and the creator is looking for feedback on how to make it more fun and engaging.
