If so that'd be great product feedback too :D!
In all serioiusness: in my experience the outcome is sort of the opposite of Overcooked. A genuinely tranquil cooking-together experience!

Show HN: Turn any recipe into 2-player mode
Hi HN!Me and my gf both love cooking, but for some reason cooking together always becomes a frustrating mess for both of us. When talking with friends about this, we discovered that many share this experience. What seems like a romantic date night opportunity always results in a more challenging dynamic than we'd all like.So we decided to build an app that turns any recipe we upload into...

Mobile app that turns any recipe into 2-player mode, so you can cook together. Kind of like overcooked IRL.

I'm working on Nommer - an app that turns recipes created for 1 chef into 2-player mode so you can cook together.
https://nommer.ai/ has a waitlist, planning to ship v1 by end of month.

Hi HN!For the past few months I've been building a Mac Menu Bar app that reduces your claude code token usage costs by ~50%.This unlocks about 2x more usage within your same Claude Code plan.Users seem to like it so far.60 DAUs who together have saved 10.5B tokens so far, representing about $35k in savings.I'd love for the community to try it out and get your feedback.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. We incorporated changes in the latest version to improve this:
1. On install we explain what Headroom installs 2. We added an uninstall feature that removes all of this for you 3. On quit of the app, we immediately remove all items that may intervene with normal Claude Code behavior

Thanks for the feedback, will work on making this more transparent so future users do not have this experience.
I did want to call out that headroom is not based on RTK - it includes RTK sure, but headroom cli has a lot more going on under the hood. For more see https://github.com/chopratejas/headroom

Caveman is fun, but the real tool you want to reduce token usage is headroom

Yeah, the change has been very noticeable imo.
Did you already try tools that can help to reduce token usage cost so you can get more prompts in within your same plan? Some great ones are

Hi HN!Frustrated with Claude Code usage limits I stumbled upon the awesome Headroom project by Tejas Chopra.

Here it is!What Headroom does: It sits between your editor and...

I regularly consume articles by whathifi, wirecutter, rtings, etcetera. Do you consider all of those spam?
What do you base purchase decisions on?
Re:The More You Spend on a Wi-Fi Router, the Worse It Gets

The best ones write in depth reviews, describe their thinking process and fairly weigh pros / cons.
Ultimately it’s imo more about avoiding bad products than it is about noticing whether a product is great. Criticaster collects all professional reviews to get to an average critic score, which will more quickly and more accurately get you to a satisfactory product than any other approach.

Interesting, thanks for sharing your perspective! I’ll do some more digging into the Orbi systems.
In my experience buying a product that gets mostly positive reviews from professional reviewers gets you a far better product than one with mixed reviews. I’m surprised that’s not your experience and that you don’t much trust those scores. What else do you make your purchase decisions on then? Purely specs?
