htshnr··on Pokemon Emerald Ported to WebAssembly (100k FPS)
Nice! FYI: It currently freezes if you attempt to go to your Pokemon from the menu, and also when your starter evolves at level 16, making it unplayable further.
htshnr··on Launch HN: Phind 3 (YC S22) – Every answer is a mini-app
First time I'm seeing valid business advice on HN - unlike the infamous Dropbox comment haha :) But I strongly agree with the above advice on specializing for a vertical and hope the founders take it seriously!

htshnr··on Show HN: I made a no-code tool to create animated technical papers
I heavily disagree with this. I went through the example papers on the website and found that the animations made a huge positive impact on my experience. While people who prefer non-animated versions of papers can read them already, something like this could help a lot of people who generally may get bored or have an aversion to reading long static text.

If in your paper you are going to try and explain abstract concepts in words and expect the reader to visualise things in their head, why not make it easier by dynamically rendering it out alongside the paper?

I think this is a very cool innovation in an area that is pretty old (research papers), and something that with a proper go-to-market strategy could end up having wide adoption.

this is good, esp the ending.
htshnr··on Still alive
"I got an email from Balaji Srinivasan, a man whose anti-corporate-media crusade straddles a previously unrecognized border between endearing and terrifying. He had some very creative suggestions for how to deal with journalists. I'm not sure any of them were especially actionable, at least not while the Geneva Convention remains in effect. But it was still a good learning experience. In particular, I learned never to make an enemy of Balaji Srinivasan. I am humbled by his support."

Top notch.
