Show HN: 2048 with Blitz Mode

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 10:14am

I got bored of normal 2048 so I made this. It allows you to enter "blitz mode" with a set time per move and an ability to scale the board up if you want to play longer games.

It allows 2 3 or 5 second turns, and can play up to 8, 10, or 12 size boards.

It is nothing too complicated or complex but the code is here if you want to see. I made this while on vacation for a friend today with Claude's help to work fast and get the styles right.

Show HN: GitShare – Turn GitHub repos into beautiful social media screenshots

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 9:08am

I needed a tool to turn GitHub repos into nice screenshots (for social media) but couldn't find one that I liked. There are plenty for X and LinkedIn posts, but not many for GitHub repositories.

I built a simple static web app (GitShare) where you paste any public repo URL, customize it live and then export as PNG/JPEG/WebP. It runs entirely in your browser (it uses GitHub's API client-side, so you're rate limited to 60 unauthenticated requests per hour).

Tested on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Brave, and DuckDuckGo on macOS. Fixed tons of bugs, and I think it's reliable now. But if you hit issues on any of those or another browser/OS please let me know, happy to fix them ASAP (and it's open to feature requests and contributions, of course!)

Show HN: Game Boy pixel pipeline explorer

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 9:04am

I made a pixel pipeline explorer for the original Game Boy's Pixel Processing Unit (PPU). If you are implementing a Game Boy emulator or just interested in it then this might provide some help :)
