1bit_eon Fuckthis.app – Software products for exasperated people

This comes to mind whenever I get screwed over by big corporate (Hi there, Lenovo). Perhaps the website could be just a ranking of products and have people vote/downvote/comment and add additional info. The problem with these platforms is that they are super biased (only angry customers will visit to downvote). I get making a bad-product ranking website to advise potential customers, but how to avoid it becoming an echo chamber?

Nice! I built https://www.chesspuzzlebot.com/ (Puzzles against stockfish)

1bit_eon Show HN: Chess Puzzle Bot – Puzzles vs. Stockfish

Thanks! I hope you enjoyed, it is really much more difficult!

Hmm that's a new one... There is no puzzle of the day, you get a random puzzle served, identified by an ID number. If you could check history and let me know the puzzle ID I can look into the bug.

1bit_eon Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?

I made a website where you can play chess puzzles against Stockfish.

I had the idea for a website where you can play chess puzzles, but if you make the wrong move, the puzzle turns into a game against Stockfish. This opens the door to either find alternative solutions or fail miserably (at some point you realize you are not following the puzzle any more). I think its a more engaging way to play puzzles!

This is my first online project, feedback is highly appreciated!
