rubansk··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)
I recently launched Notchi (https://github.com/sk-ruban/notchi), a tamagotchi that lives in your Mac notch and emotionally reacts to your Claude Code sessions. It cries when you yell at it and gets happy when you praise it. Drew all the pixel art sprites by hand in Aseprite.

rubansk··on Paul Hegarty's updated CS193p SwiftUI course released by Stanford
I love cs193p! Paul Hegarty is an incredible teacher. I did the course twice [1], first in 2020 as a programming noob who just threw everything into one file. His teaching of MVVM was my first introduction to proper software architecture. Then I went through it again last year as a refresher before building my first app and even on the second run, his lectures were fun to listen to.

I’m singaporean and have never heard about “marriage offers” in clubs being a thing. Maybe I’m going to the wrong ones.

rubansk··on Show HN: Ten years of running every day, visualized
decade streak is legit impressive. just hit 30 days of 5k myself. some might scoff at the number of 1mile days but dragging yourself out when you're busy or exhausted is rough.

my mum once bought "japanese rice" from the supermarket that tasted noticeably different (and worse). had to check the label, turns out it was made in Vietnam.
