Show HN: Ambiphone, no-nonsense ambient music and white noise

Show HN: Hook – a simple graphical C/C++ runtime editor
While helping one of my students create and iterate on a game in C using raylib, I realized there was quite a lot of time spent on experimenting with level design and colors, how the player moves, gravity, etc. and a lot of time was wasted making a change, exiting the game, recompiling, running the game, deciding his change wasn't right, and going through the whole cycle over and over. I could tell it was demotivating, and this process was creating a barrier that prevented him from experimenting to his heart's content.<p>I started this project to solve this problem by giving a simple gui to a few core features of lldb through the lldb api. Experimenting with changing colors, where blocks in the level go, how tall the player is, gravity is all now just a simple toggle or text field edit. The variables are modifiable while the program is running.<p>The project is still in its early stages, and so far only targets macOS.

Show HN: Better Seater – Wedding seating chart optimizer
Is anyone having a big wedding reception/event with assigned seating soon? Or know anyone who will?<p>I've been working on a tool to optimize seating charts for assigned seat events, such as weddings. I'm hoping this site will save people enough time and stress, to charge for the service for larger events.<p>At the moment, there's no login required, and the service saves no data.<p><pre><code> Why?
* Save time, rearranging people automatically
* Help with politics of large gatherings
* Try moving people and quickly seeing how everything shakes out
Currently, it will try to optimize for:
* Keeping groups together as much as possible
* Use fewer total tables
* Keep people either together or apart, as indicated
Current Capabilities:
* Import guest list/table capacity information from Excel file (there's a template)
* Generate fake guest list to play around
* Dragging people to different tables and reoptimize
* Selecting sets of people who you want to keep together or apart
* Locking people to certain tables
* Edit history
On roadmap:
* Prioritizing people to seat at "better tables" (VIPs, close family, etc)
* Rearranging tables visually
</code></pre>
What do you all think? Is this valuable? How's the UX?<p>I haven't come up with a great name for it yet, so naming it "Better Seater" for now.<p>All feedback and suggestions welcome and appreciated! Let me know what would be useful for you!

Show HN: I built an open source web calendar inspired by the Google calendar
I love the looks and UX of the Google calendar. But I wanted to have a version I could use more freely in my own projects, still looking similar to the one from Google.
