spacesanjeeton Show HN: Demo of my web game about social persuasion

I like how it tells users that firefox doesn't support speech recognition.

spacesanjeeton Show HN: Minimal Next.js 15 Markdown Boilerplate

I will try this out. I am on a hunt for a way to render markdown files into html code in a way that supports the existing structure of the webpage. For example, if I have a static webpage ready from scratch using HTML and CSS, would I be then able to post blogs using markdown to html in just a corner of the site?

It is probably not substantial among the projects people have commented on this thread, but I am happy to be working on my first personal website made from plain old HTML and simplecss.

spacesanjeeton Superstitious Users and the FreeBSD Logo

I am trying to grasp what I have just read. I may be able to understand if this is sarcasm probably

spacesanjeeton Starship Flight 5: Launch and booster catch [video]

I think that the number of countries reaching Mars (lander or orbiter) is in single digits and thus when talking about how hard it is to reach Mars and then come back, both of the scenarios kind of hold similar weights.
