Show HN: I made a web game called Almost Pong
Hi HN!<p>I made many small web games in the past with Unity or Phaser. But this time I wanted to make something completely on my own. So I coded a basic game framework in plain JavaScript, and used it to make Almost Pong.<p>This was a really fun project that taught me a lot about JavaScript, and I plan to make more minimalist games with this framework. Interesting fact: Almost Pong doesn't load any assets, all sprites and sounds are generated with code.<p>Happy to answer questions, and please let me know if you have any feedback on the game. Thanks!

Show HN: A modular Python TUI framework with a fast and pretty markup language
PyTermGUI is a highly modular framework offering most of the features one would expect from a GUI library, such as a mature and open Widget API, animations, mouse support and other goodies, right inside the terminal!<p>The markup language is another great feature of the library, and is used by practically all elements of it. It is based on Rich's implementation, but uses a more concise and easier to humanly parse syntax, while being over 10 times faster at parsing due to a long list of optimizations.<p>There is a full Window Manager API included as well, allowing the user to move, resize and otherwise manipulate windows and inner contents using either their mouse of keyboard.<p>All of the "guts" of the library are also exposed and usable from the outside within the `ansi_interface` submodule.<p>Thank you for your time, and I hope the library may be of some use!

Show HN: Socket – Secure your JavaScript supply chain
Excited to share the project I've been working on for the past 7 months!<p>We've seen nearly weekly attacks against the open source software supply chain. I saw the seeds of this trend start in the mid 2015s as an open source maintainer and I've watched it only get worse over the years. I finally decided to try to solve this problem.<p>Socket is taking an entirely new approach to one of the hardest problems in security in a stagnant part of the industry that has historically been obsessed with just reporting on known vulnerabilities. Unlike other scanning tools, Socket actually analyzes the package code to characterize the package's behavior. This way, Socket can detect when packages use security-relevant platform capabilities, such as the network, filesystem, or shell.<p>You can search for any npm package and see issues that've we've flagged for each package. We look for 70 issues (full list here: <a href="https://socket.dev/npm/issue" rel="nofollow">https://socket.dev/npm/issue</a>) and we put those into a Package Health score. See these examples:<p><a href="https://socket.dev/npm/package/left-pad" rel="nofollow">https://socket.dev/npm/package/left-pad</a><p><a href="https://socket.dev/npm/package/lodash" rel="nofollow">https://socket.dev/npm/package/lodash</a><p>Socket looks for indicators present in all of the recent npm supply chain attacks. We're proactively auditing every package on npm to flag these issues.<p>Separately, we have a GitHub app that you can install. It detects typosquat attacks and leaves a comment on your pull request to let you know you might have installed the wrong package. We're currently working to enable it to leave comments for more of the package issues that we can detect, but we want to get the UX really good on that first, so we've released it and labeled it "beta".<p>Happy to answer questions.

Show HN: I Created a Chrome Extension for PG: TRAB (Tweet Reporter and Blocker)
A few days ago I saw this tweet from PG: <a href="https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1496549841912094733" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1496549841912094733</a>
...and guessed it shouldn't be too hard to make a chrome extension to do this (I had never made a chrome extension before)<p>So I took a stab at it - took me a bit over a day to make it, and it was fun to put together.<p>I responded to his tweet with the link to the extension but I'm not sure if he would've seen it.<p>edit: Looks like I missed the approval notification for the listing of this extension on the chrome store: <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/trab-tweet-reporter-and-b/bahkpblcfiffamfljnfjeablplgnjnkg?hl=en-US" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/trab-tweet-reporte...</a>
