Show HN: Hack your mind with Flowstate Android app- natural sound for relaxation
Cooked up a productivity sound app in a day to dodge paying for another paid sound app, so that I can listen to it for free while working. Now it's on the Play Store, but get this—it's listed as paid. The irony! Click the link for a discount code specifically for my HN community and snag it for free!
Show HN: A text-mode periodic table in C for GNU/Linux terminals
I'm sharing a retro-looking periodic table I made in C that I think looks really nice.
Show HN: I made a mobile app and game where you workout to level up
Hi, I’ve been working on a workout logging mobile app and game to motivate myself to workout called Fittest Fire.<p>Logging workouts in the mobile app gives you points which are used in the game to increase damage, health, speed, etc.<p>The mobile apps are native Kotlin / Swift and have been released. The game is currently in demo status but has the level up system in place.<p>You can easily skip the account creation process for the mobile apps and play around with it first. In that case, you can only save exercises locally. If you have an account, you can save exercises online and get points. Everything is currently free to try (as in beer)<p>Android App: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.davesprojects.ffandroidxml">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.davesproje...</a>

Show HN: HNRelevant – Explore Related Discussions on HN in an Integrated Sidebar
Reading submissions here, I often feel intrigued and want to explore more interconnected or similar stories. The process of googling and going back and forth didn't feel natural. So, I made this browser extension that adds a related submissions section for HN's layout. The results are displayed in a sidebar right in the page's layout using HN native style just like other elements.<p>I enjoy being knee-deep in discussions. Many times you're learning about something new, where the topic is either unfamiliar, thought-provoking, or just could use some context that you don't even know about. If a submission is interesting enough for me to click on, chances are I'd like to dig deeper into this topic and there are more related discussions that offer new context or perspective.<p>This is an extension that I always have on so I paid special attentions to UX to make it intuitive and seamless and now the extension has become just part of the HN experience for me. Implementation-wise, it integrates <a href="https://hn.algolia.com/" rel="nofollow">https://hn.algolia.com/</a> API and uses the submission title as its initial query with the ability to change the query and other options interactively.<p>It's available on: Chrome, Firefox, and as a userscript.<p>Chrome:<a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hnrelevant/iajhnkei" rel="nofollow">https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hnrelevant/iajhnkei</a>...<p>Firefox: <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hnrelevant/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hnrelevant/</a><p>I shared it earlier last year when it was early in development, barely a prototype, at the time it wasn't yet published and could only be used on chrome by "load unpacked": <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36102610">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36102610</a>. I've been using it daily since and I'm happy to share it now for you to give it a try.

Show HN: Apple II clock using interrupts from physical pendulum clock
A clock app for my Apple ][ clone in 6502 assembly, using interrupts generated by an inductive proximity sensor and a physical pendulum clock. I wanted to polish the code a bit more before sharing (I especially dislike the self modifying code part), but the computer seems to have developed a hardware problem lately and it keeps crashing (bad RAM chip most likely), so I am sharing as is.

Show HN: PHP API Bindings for Open Brewery DB
Howdy! I'm a recent PHP convert after a decade of laughing at PHP memes on r/programmerhumor, and wanted to dive a bit deeper into the language by building something practical with it. I also love beer and decided to combine the two by building a PHP library for the Open Brewery DB API (<a href="https://openbrewerydb.org/" rel="nofollow">https://openbrewerydb.org/</a>). Hope someone finds it useful!
