My manifesto on how to be a good PM (especially in a post-AI world): ddltn.com/the-hands-on-p…

I love the amount of effort people on HN put into discussions and sharing their thoughts. Tons of value. Example: this discussion about @boardisfun: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=457424… In that one link I've learnt about the history of attempted phygital board game devices - the fact that many in the past failed because of overly focusing on the children's education market, and that there's likely more potential in the TTRPG/adults board gaming space. Not sure where I stand personally in that discussion but it was very informative to see. In either case, excited to see how Board develops!

@BrynnPutnam absolutely love the concept of Board. When shipping to the UK and can we get it on Founder's pricing? 😄

@sjsivak Love it! When will you start shipping to the UK? 😄

This video is an amazing peek behind the curtain of building a new game console.

@owickstrom Always nice to build in the physical world! Sweetens the experience of coming back to the usual digital work

Took some breaks from logic to build a custom threshold board this week. A million weird angles and height differences hidden after hours of carving and grinding. Not extremely happy with the seal along the walls but overall it turned out nice.

@floguo if you set up floguo.com's notes & writing w/rss you will have at least one follower 😃

@floguo Playing the Long Game resonated well with me. W/any PR going to my eng team I always say feel free to ignore if it will take more time to review than to do it yourself. And "the long game" in my mind is making sure there's a return on investment for the time an engineer spends when they do review your PR - ie you grow and learn from those reviews and ideally PRs in the future are quicker to review.

@samdape Which products are getting better?

@badlogicgames Across all AI apps I've used, memory has only been a hindrance. To this day Windsurf pulls up some obscure config file variable saved in its memory (I don't even remember why) in the most unrelated situations.

What we want: less flicker What we get: more context pollution anthropic.com/news/memory

@lucas__crespo @every FYI: this is a helpful system prompt from @rgb_prithvi to get Claude Code to be a more useful sounding board for cool, unique frontends: github.com/anthropics/cla…

I kinda hate how 99% of articles on the web look exactly the same. Single text column on a white background, grids, margins, etc... all converging into a single safe and forgettable aesthetic. Even we at @every have fallen into this same trap without ever really questioning it.

@lucas__crespo @danshipper @every Following for inspo. Completely agree with the message - in my mind what’s the point of having your own site if it’s cookie cutter and not a cool expression of who you are

Thinking through this: I believe there is a MacOS Apple TV app that the current setup would interface with, but then you’d want the TV to be on the Apple TV HDMI port rather than showing the Mac mirroring…

@mayfer would goatremote work in some form for the Apple TV OS so voice commands like “hey pick up where I left off in Game of Thrones” actually work? Siri is unfortunately still really terrible here and that’s a use case I’d pay for

@badlogicgames Thanks for sharing this is beautiful!

Buy this malware. It's good. goatremote.com

@mayfer Hackernews? Should probably hit top 10 with that awesome demo

might just have product market fit for goatremote.com, not bad for one tweet so what's the play for producthunt these days?

@kentcdodds How are you finding it? Getting browser fatigue with all the options now

@seatedro Lmk if you get anywhere with this - my best workaround for now is using Kindle highlights then syncing that to my Sublime account

@steveruizok @tldraw That would be amazing! I think board/card games are a natural fit for a blank canvas - that’s effectively what tabletop simulator is but there you don’t have a competent and entertaining AI opponent bundled into the canvas.

@ddltn__ @tldraw Super cool. I’m thinking of building some more game subsystems, like dice or timers or cards, to see how the bots can understand them

Spent some of my Sunday experimenting with @tldraw's agent to play Quoridor, one of my favorite board games. It did a good job setting up the grid, pawns and wall count for each player and moving the pawn, but had a hard time not jumping over walls without additional prompting.

Good developer marketing is just good writing Orwell's 6 questions and 6 rules are a great way to start practicing

@tldraw Agent also doing a good job maintaining game state (walls used) and getting the rules written out on the canvas.
