magikMakeron Show HN: Continue? Y/N: A 60-second game about AI agent permission fatigue

Really cool!!

magikMakeron Show HN: Chat with UFO Files

Interesting! It defaults to "search", so it took me a second to understand to actually switch to "ask" in order to use the LLM. I'll check out the github repo to run it myself.

magikMakeron Show HN: Free tool to mark points and polygon regions

By the way, I wrote a blog post about it here, in case you're interested: https://bjornwikkeling.com/posts/2026050401-tack-pics-mark-c...

magikMakeron Show HN: A static website designed to be not readable by AI

You did manage to block scraping/fetching, but Claude can read a screenshot of your page just fine, see: https://i.postimg.cc/BQ9LPK19/claude.png

magikMakeron Show HN: Interactive Chord Finder, Free Piano Scale and Chord Explorer

I've added one more (major) feature: practice mode. I'll probably add a new post about this in a couple of days, but for those interested, you can already have a look here: https://interactivechordfinder.com/practice/

magikMakeron Show HN: Interactive Chord Finder, Free Piano Scale and Chord Explorer

I've done a couple of updates to the app: - added a transpose section - improved readability by increasing contrast - improved the chord sequencer (a.o. better metronome tone and rhythm) - and many more "micro-tweaks" and improvements

A bit more on the sequencer: it's not meant for composing full songs, it's a scratchpad for testing chord progressions. You can adjust tempo, time signature, and note length to hear how a progression feels at different speeds and rhythms.

If you change the scale or mode, you can. update the chords (click the update button) to reflect the new diatonic chords, so you can quickly A/B the same progression in, say, Ionian vs. Mixolydian.

I have some ideas for what to add next like for instance PDF export with chords or MIDI export, but I'd rather hear what would actually be useful to you. What would make this tool part of your workflow?

magikMakeron I created a new game: countdown

I just created this game that I call countdown. It's really simple to play but actually quite hard to solve. I find it really difficult so I'm curious to read what you think. Let me know.

magikMakeron Introducing the next generation of Mac

I was literally about to order a new mac mini, until I noticed it only has 16GB max memory. How can they do this?! The previous model could be upgraded to 64GB, had 4 USB-C connectors (instead of now 2) and the option for faster ethernet. It really sounds like this new mac mini is a downgrade from the previous model. I wonder if the new M1 chip/architecture really makes that much difference to make up for the downgrade of the rest.

magikMakeron Responsive images without JavaScript

I thought that, that maximum of 31 stylesheets is only for external stylesheets, the styles in this code are written inline, that should work just fine I think, but I can do some tests to make sure.

Good point, didn't think of that. I am also not sure how important that is.

magikMakeron Chrome removed Apps from new tab, here's a fix

When opening a new tab in Chrome, it used to be that the apps were displayed. However, the recent update of Chrome removed this feature in favour of their search engine page. Completely superfluous, because search can already be performed from the address bar, which Google called the omnibox because of this.
