Show HN: Write 500 Words a Day
Hello! I made a web application for my friend and I to use as part of a New Year’s resolution and decided to open it up to the public. It’s pretty simple but I’ve really enjoyed building it and using it so far. I’ve written ~10,000 words, which is a lot more than I used to write. Enjoy and be nice!

Show HN: Yahtzee and Poker and Cosmic Horror = Pine Tar Poker
I'm excited to launch today! Pine Tar Poker is a yahtzee-inspired poker game with just a touch of cosmic horror for iOS and Android.<p>I started working on this idea last January by making a paper prototype: a simple printed score sheet I could use with a real deck of cards. I had some fun with that, so I brought it into Unity and kept expanding on it over the last 11 months during nights and weekends. It's tough for me to stay motivated on side projects and see them through to release, but the act of shipping something is so fulfilling that it's usually worth the pain. For Pine Tar, I stretched myself in the narrative department by adding a bit of a Lovecraftian tone to what would otherwise be a Western saloon setting.<p>One thing that kept me motivated during development was seeing my dad get hooked on the card game. He'd text me when he got his first royal flush and when he prestiged the score sheet -- he got every hand type in one game! He has amassed so much in-game cash, I think I need to expand the number of digits I show there!<p>If you get a chance to try it, let me know what you think! If you can't afford it and want to try it, I have a few codes for both platforms, my email is in my profile.

Show HN: Death by AI
I recently created a simple but efficient tool to help document writers generate a list of acronyms and definitions.<p>Here comes chatGPT.<p>At home, it’s all fun and games until I realize this thing might be able to do exactly what my “dumb” website does: "Give me the list of acronyms used in the previous text and their definitions"...<p>It had a good-looking answer. Of course...<p>At first I was bummed, but quickly realized that even though the output looked neat, it was also not reliable (missing some acronyms, adding some that were not in the original text, albeit related to it).<p>Anyway, the next day I stumbled upon https://killedbygoogle.com and the two things collided in my head: other people probably feel like AI is going to "kill" them or their product too. Why not make a list of these things?<p>A shameless clone later (it's open source ) https://deathbyai.com was born. I was initially going for a more serious tone, but it soon felt impossible to give a fair story for each item in ~5 lines, so I went for something lighter and, hopefully, more fun.<p>This is neither an attempt to criticize AI nor one to bury its "victims." On the contrary, I hope this page can highlight the potential of AI while showing that the "old ways" can still be relevant.<p>Hope you like it. Feedback and contributions are welcome!
