Hacker News, re-ranked

jev typesafe hacker-news fastapi python

The real Hacker News front page, its top 500 stories, re-ranked around a sentence you type. Every story is judged by Jev, TypeSafe's decision model, against what you asked for, and the whole list reorders in about a second.

One question per story, all 500 asked in parallel: how well does this match what the reader wants? Jev answers in under a second for a fifth of a cent.
No search index, no embeddings, no training, no prompt engineering beyond that one question and a short guide on reading requests, so 'not about AI' really excludes AI.
Each linked article is read once and boiled down to a few paragraphs covering what it says and where the author is coming from, so stories are judged on content and stance, not just the headline.
Stories refresh every five minutes; the bar shows the real time and cost of your last re-rank.

BRINEWAKE

game-dev rust rts pixel-art open-source

A real-time strategy game on the floor of a vanished sea. Take the sluice that moves the tide, dry a crossing for your own army or drown the one the enemy needs, and turn it into a raid, a timing or the fight that ends the match.

Built on a custom Rust engine with native pixel art and synthesized chiptune music.
Move the tide between two crossings to dry a path for your armored push or flood the enemy's route. Shallow water slows and hurts; deep water stops ground machines.
Three distinct factions: the heavy Breakwater Union, the amphibious Silt Assembly, and the fast, fragile Saltglass Compact.
Play together with no account and no server—games connect peer-to-peer. Host a match, send your friends the join code, and play on the Split Basin or the Confluence.
Free and open source under the MIT license, with downloads for macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows. Updates itself.

AXION

game-dev godot pixel-art chiptune webassembly

An original Mega Man X-style action platformer, built from scratch and playable in the browser. No engine assets and no stock art: every sprite, tile, sound effect and music track is generated from code in this repo.

Full opening stage: a collapsing highway, a truck-filled lower deck, a wall-kick shaft, swinging crane platforms, and a shielded mid-boss with a scripted rescue beat.
Sprites and tiles are ASCII pixel maps rendered to PNG by a Python pipeline, locked to a 72-colour palette that an audit enforces on every asset.
The soundtrack is written as note tables and rendered through a 2A03-faithful engine: four monophonic voices, stepped 60 Hz envelopes, and a composed echo instead of any reverb.
Movement is the real thing: dash, dash-jump, wall slide and wall-kick, a three-level charge buster, coyote time and jump buffering.
Exported to WebAssembly with Godot's no-threads template, so it runs on plain static hosting with no special headers.
