Re:Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?

I built a game called Angularis, which is similar to Tetris, but based on triangles instead of squares. The new part is that it also allows and encourages diagonal movements.

Since it appears to be a statically generated site it might not matter, but do you use any caching in your NGINX config?

Thank you for your nice and constructive feedback so far.
I plan to keep polishing the game and to implement some of the suggestions.
The approach for the project so far was to use only „VanillaJS“ (so no frameworks, except for CSS) and to keep it as lightweight as possible. I think I might deviate a bit from this strict approach in the future.

Thanks a lot for the pointer to Pyramid. The „bomb concept“ is indeed interesting.

Actually that was the original name I had in mind. But I found it to hard to pronounce.

Angularis is a game similar to Tetris, but based on triangles instead of squares. Which is why it also has diagonal movements. I had this idea about a month ago and built the game in my spare time.I think it is a bit more difficult compared to Tetris. You kind of have to get used to "think diagonally".Maybe it can be a nice little challenge for you.I'd be happy to receive some feedback. Thanks!

Very interesting concept.
One question: the data that gets input (for example via file-input), does it stay local in the browser or is it (temporarily) uploaded somewhere?

I did something similar for Twitter few years ago, but then came to my personal conclusion that this type of information is not very useful , since people on Twitter (or Reddit) would not be the key factor to move the needle on a particular stock. So in the end it is just one datapoint of many.

Sounds quite scary assuming it could „interact“ with your actual files on the hard drive. But that fits well to the idea of a Dungeon and makes it more exiting.

Those sites will be good test cases for the bookmarklet. And I see I have to add Fahrenheit for the next release.

This little bookmarklet helps with reading webpages that use "inches", "feet", "yards" and "miles" for people (like me) used to the metric system. (It can also handle in. ft. yd. mi.)
