:)

Sorry this came so late, but there's now a single-player mode. Just create a room and click "Start a one-player game" when you're the only one in there!

working on it now!

let me know how it goes, and if there's anything i can do to make it more fun!
Re:Show HN: Mic Drop, a real-time multiplayer karaoke game on Sunday August 16, 2026 @08:53PM (#49325412)
no single player mode (but I could add one!) – would you be interested in playing 1p beyond just kicking tires?

i've never played it, but a guy in a coffee shop (a patron) once gave me his Smule business card(!!) and i checked his songs on there; looks like they have a real cult following

so happy to hear it!

that's fair
Re:Show HN: Mic Drop, a real-time multiplayer karaoke game on Saturday August 15, 2026 @10:52PM (#49316484)
looks fun :)
Re:Show HN: Mic Drop, a real-time multiplayer karaoke game on Saturday August 15, 2026 @10:52PM (#49316474)
the game doesn't play or stream any audio (though i think maybe a countdown timer or other fun sound effects would be nice)

players usually either a) play in real life on their phones or b) use something like Google Meet or Discord to sing their lyrics

that being said, the "buzz in" feature is sensitive to latency (but, in my experience, it usually takes players a few seconds to think of a song that fits the target word anyway)

that sounds awesome! do you recall what it was? i'd love to check it out. (and thanks!)
Re:Show HN: Mic Drop, a real-time multiplayer karaoke game on Saturday August 15, 2026 @09:07PM (#49315869)
happy you're into it – hope you enjoy!

(and hopefully this goes without saying, but if there's anything i can do to make it a better experience, please let me know :))

Cool project. How is this different from Greptile, Cubic, etc?

Re:You can no longer Google the word 'disregard' on Friday May 22, 2026 @01:40PM (#48239001)
it's not fixed for me:

> disregard /ˌdisrəˈɡärd/ Understood. Let me know what you would like to work on instead!

amusingly, it does provide the pronunciation and the dictionary-definition h2-ish formatting... and then no definition

you're crazy

Re:Launch HN: Vela (YC W26) – AI for complex scheduling on Thursday March 05, 2026 @03:33PM (#47266915)
this is cool – congrats on the launch.

generally when i give someone my calendar link, i'm pretty happy for them to just choose whatever time within those constraints. i like the future where everyone opts in ("i will meet as long as my preferences are considered") & there doesn't need to be any manual clicking/coordination whatsoever.

as a tidbit of feedback: are you explicitly targeting b2b? i would like to just sign up, but i'll book a demo if that's the only option :)

looks great & appreciate that there is an accessible pricing tier. congrats on the launch!

I like number of "great catches" as a measure of AI code review effectiveness
some of the games play well as single-player games, too! check out games with the single-player tag: https://friendzone.games/t/single-player/
