Show HN: Httpclock. A useless clock, unless the time is a valid status code

Hacker News - Sun, 11/10/2024 - 10:05am

I made this a few months back as a fun little project and it has absolutely no utility whatsoever.

tldr: If the current time can be mapped to a valid HTTP status code (e.g., 4:04pm -> 404 Not found) the server will return that status code to the client.

Note: There's a high probability you'll see an empty page in a browser at any given time due to the nature of the project. If you're viewing this shortly after posting, try the cet subdomain (more info below).

Example: https://x.com/scottinallcaps/status/1827211120194486597

——

The httpclock.com domain redirects to the respective timezone subdomain for the client based on IP address (e.g. pt.httpclock.com). Otherwise it falls back to utc.

Note: I'm submitting this just after 4pm Central European Time as the 4xx series has the most status codes — https://cet.httpclock.com

A browser will show a blank page or the status code and text. I recommend using curl like so:

curl -i https://cet.httpclock.com ——

And if the current time is invalid (i.e., doesn't map to a valid status code) then the server will return 999 with no content:

s@s ~> curl -I https://cet.httpclock.com HTTP/1.1 999 unknown Referrer-Policy: no-referrer Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; ... Anyway, hope you enjoy this very useless clock. I plan to post the code on GitHub soon since I may as well. Thanks!

Show HN: I made a collection of games for playing in a terminal

Hacker News - Sun, 11/10/2024 - 9:53am

Hello HackerNews, I'm Kaamkiya, the author of this program. It's a collection of minimal games made for terminals, like 2048, Hangman, and even two player games like pong. They're all text-based, but they can actually be quite fun.

If you want to test it right now, you can do this:

go run github.com/Kaamkiya/gg@latest

I started this project out of boredom, honestly. I was bored, and when I'm bored I like to code or play video games. So I coded video games. I kept them really minimal though, because I'm not great at gamedev and thought it would be easier to contribute to text-based games than a huge project.

If you have game ideas, tips for improvement, or any feedback, I'm open to hearing it. I'm also open to PRs and issues on the GitHub.

Thanks :)

Breaking Out of the Bubble: How to Market to the Broader U.S.?

Hacker News - Sun, 11/10/2024 - 9:43am

We run a small company based in San Francisco, and this election has been a wake-up call for us: we’re in a bubble. As Paul Kantner once said, “SF is 44 square miles surrounded by reality.” It’s clear we don’t fully understand how to effectively market to the majority of the U.S., or worse, our current messaging may even be off-putting to a large segment of the population.

We’re searching for actionable strategies to bridge this gap and resonate with audiences outside our local sphere. While travel could help broaden our perspective, time constraints make it impractical for now.

What are the best approaches to understand and market to a wider, more diverse audience in the U.S.? Have others faced similar challenges, and how did you overcome them?

Any insights or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!

(We are all immigrants)
