Hi! Author here. I just used the Canvas API with some vanilla JavaScript code. My site is built with Hugo, so I first needed to create a shortcode that allows me to embed .js files I created for simulations directly into my posts. About the code for animations being shown, I didn't write them myself from scratch. I used LLMs to generate them. They are not as accurate as what I had in my mind, but it still worked out fine after some iterations and improved the overall reading experience I believe.

Silverbullet seems really clean and nice, thanks for the recommendation. I might just try it out. :)

I mean, I have seen both sides of the story. People putting too much effort into simplifying things where the product users just do not care about it, as well as people overcomplicating things while implementing features up to the point of the program being non-functioning (or very hard to update).

I would say that it is more about how coupled your field and the product you are building are with it being implemented properly. For some areas, like most of the web or building SaaS, it is not as tightly coupled as for other areas like system engineering, building high-performance products, etc.

Re:Using the Corne Split Keyboard for Half a Year on Sunday December 28, 2025 @03:44PM (#46414315)
I've been using The Corne keyboard for about half a year now. And this is a compilation of my thoughts on where the idea to use such a keyboard came from, the process of making the keyboard, some difficulties I encountered, and my general observations throughout this process. Hope it benefits some people.

Show HN: HN Domain Stats

Hi everyone!Not sure if something like this already exists, but I needed a simple way to check how a given domain has performed on Hacker News and since I couldn’t find such a tool, I built one.For any given domain, it shows metrics like total submissions, unique submitters, upvotes, and comments, along with time-based charts (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) for submissions, upvotes, and...
