Show HN: 2048 turned 10 this year, I built an updated version to celebrate
Hi all! My name is Gabriele Cirulli, I’m the original creator of 2048. Ten years ago, someone posted 2048 on HN[1] and suddenly it seemed like everyone was playing it. Back then, I wrote a bit about my experience during those weeks[2].<p>Even after all these years, that experience still feels a bit surreal to me. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who connected with the game, whether in small or significant ways, and for the stories shared along the way. Some people expressed how they were going through tough times and found some comfort, however small, in playing 2048.<p>At the start of last year, I wanted to breathe new life into the game as it was starting to show its age. I quit my job last October to work on 2048 full time and spent a year building this new version (the original took just 5 days!). I wanted to pay tribute to what made 2048 great while modernizing and polishing the experience.<p>The idea of adding powerups came when Prime Gaming and I connected to see if we could create a special version of 2048 for their members, with some exclusive extras. Some of those powerups made it into the main game, though there’s still a Classic[3] mode just like the original for those who prefer a more hardcore experience. The old site is also still online[4].<p>2048 is now my full-time focus, and I’m excited about the ways it can keep improving. I wanted to share this update with the community where it all began, both for a bit of nostalgia and to hear your thoughts and feedback!<p>Thank you all so much!<p>— Gabriele<p>[1]: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7373566">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7373566</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://medium.com/@gabrielecirulli/2048-success-and-me-7dc664f7a9bd" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/@gabrielecirulli/2048-success-and-me-7dc6...</a><p>[3]: <a href="https://play2048.co/classic" rel="nofollow">https://play2048.co/classic</a><p>[4]: <a href="https://classic.play2048.co" rel="nofollow">https://classic.play2048.co</a>

Show HN: I built a task manager that separates "do" and "due" dates
Hi HN,<p>I’m the founder of Zesfy, a productivity app that I’ve been developing over the past few years. It’s designed to seamlessly integrate your tasks with your calendar, allowing you to transform your to-do lists into actionable events in just seconds. Here are some of its key features:<p><pre><code> - Task Progress: Automatically update your progress based on subtasks completed
- Step: Create step-by-step breakdown of the subtask
- Target: Organize tasks with due date
- Session: Insert multiple tasks to calendar event
- Space: Filter event from specific sets of calendars
</code></pre>
I recently introduced new features that often missing from other productivity apps: the ability to set both “Do” and “Due” dates. With these features, you can effortlessly plan your tasks for the day while keeping track the upcoming due dates. What makes Zesfy unique is it separates tasks you’ve planned and those that are already scheduled in your calendar, giving you a more organized and flexible workflow.<p>App Store: <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zesfy-planner-calendar/id6479947874" rel="nofollow">https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zesfy-planner-calendar/id64799...</a>

Show HN: Steiner – An open-source reasoning model inspired by OpenAI o1
Steiner is a series of reasoning models trained on synthetic data using reinforcement learning. These models can explore multiple reasoning paths in an autoregressive manner during inference and autonomously verify or backtrack when necessary, enabling a linear traversal of the implicit search tree.<p>Blog: <a href="https://medium.com/@peakji/a-small-step-towards-reproducing-openai-o1-b9a756a00855" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/@peakji/a-small-step-towards-reproducing-...</a><p>Hugging Face: <a href="https://huggingface.co/collections/peakji/steiner-preview-6712c6987110ce932a44e9a6" rel="nofollow">https://huggingface.co/collections/peakji/steiner-preview-67...</a>
Show HN: Ambulate – Detailed Trip Planning
Ambulate was created because planning hiking trips using spreadsheets and various map solutions got chaotic. I wanted an app to manage and map multi day trip itineraries in the outdoors/backcountry.<p>Features
- Manage itineraries
- Add activities and map markers
- Add routes (upload GPX or plot by hand on map)
- Desktop and mobile<p>It is free to try (login using Google or create a user). Alternatively the slides on the home page give an idea of the UI.<p>I'll appreciate any thoughts and feedback you care to share:)
