https://gardenhorizons.app/

I built a specialized calculator for Garden Horizons, a farming simulation on Roblox that has a surprisingly non-linear economic system.The Problem: Most players struggle to decide when to harvest. The game uses a specific formula where crop value isn't linear to weight, but scales with its square:$$Value = Base * (Weight)^2 * Maturity * Color * Mutations$$What this tool does:True ROI...

Show HN: GLM-Image Online – 16B AR+Diffusion model for accurate text

https://glmimage.online/

Hi HN,I built a web interface for the GLM-Image architecture (by Zhipu AI). Unlike standard diffusion models, it uses a hybrid approach (Autoregressive Transformer + Diffusion) which makes it surprisingly good at rendering coherent text and following complex spatial instructions.Running it Locally: Since this is an open-source model, you can run it yourself if you have the hardware. It requires...

Hi HN, maker here.

I built a free, privacy-focused pixel avatar generator. It runs 100% in the browser (no server uploads) and requires no login.

It's designed for creating quick PFPs for Discord, GitHub, or gaming profiles. I tried to recreate that retro 8-bit aesthetic from old flash games.

Let me know what you think!

You’re probably referring to the Image to Stamp feature. Currently, we mainly use Nano Banana to convert users' photos into black and white images, and AI helps simplify the entire process.

Hi HN, I'm Eagien, the creator of PixSprout (https://pixsprout.com), an AI tool that turns text or images into custom stamp designs.I built it after seeing a friend who runs a stamp business spend hours in Photoshop manually designing hundreds of layouts for customers every day.

The walkthrough content for Silent Hill F hasn’t started yet, but I plan to expand it once the game is out, including puzzle solutions and hidden secrets.Tech-wise, it’s a...

I usually start by exporting competitor backlinks from SEMrush, then import them into the extension to create my own backlink list. It saves a lot of time compared to manually collecting sites and managing submissions.

I'm a solo developer and fan of the Roblox horror-survival game "99 Nights in the Forest".

I built [https://99nightsintheforest.online](https://99nightsintheforest.online) as a fan-made guide site to help players better understand the game mechanics, crafting system, monster encounters, and the hidden story behind the 99 nights.

The game doesn’t have much official documentation or walkthroughs, so this project started as a personal note collection. Over time, I turned it into a full online guide, with wiki-style pages, survival tips, and story analysis.

Would love feedback from other builders and gamers—especially if you've worked on game communities or fan sites. What would you improve? How do you approach building content around community-driven games?

Thanks!

I don't know what to say, it's disgusting

I don't know what's going on, but the cursor is becoming less and less useful now.
