  1. Show HN: Laser-Tracer, programmable virtual volumetric vector display (westoncb.github.io)

    This was an idea I had 7yrs ago that I recently decided to go ahead and build since by working with LLMs (mostly o3 and Gemini 2.5 pro) it seemed doable in reasonable time. The original motivation was partly aesthetic,…

  6. Show HN: Simple Lambda Calculus Visualizer

    I stumbled across this game for teaching lambda calculus last week: http://worrydream.com/AlligatorEggs/ —and thought it'd be cool to see it executing through software, so I spent a few days building an app to do that.…

  7. Ask HN: Are there reasons to avoid a Sublime Text-like business model?

    Many times I've seen statements like, "it would not be viable to run our business without charging a recurring (e.g. monthly) fee for our software." And I can see how for most businesses that might be true, or at least…

  15. Ask HN: What's the best way of learning calculus, if you already know pure math

    I'm in an awkward position where I have good familiarity with pure math and don't have a problem doing proofs in e.g. abstract algebra, mathematical logic, theory of computation—but my applied math is pretty badly…

  18. Ask HN: What's your favorite way of getting a web app up quickly in 2018?

    I am still frustrated with the amount of incidental complexity required whenever I want to do this. My latest attempt was to use a Digital Ocean droplet with Django pre-installed. I guess the biggest issue there was…

  24. Ask HN: Can you recommend resources for learning JavaScript app architecture?

    I'm tempted to ask for something like 'design patterns'—and maybe that's really all that I am looking for—but I don't really like the 'recipe' style that comes with design pattern catalogues. Another way of putting what…
