Hi HN,

I've launched Sprunki Retake, a mod version of Sprunki (which was inspired by the Incredibox music-mixing game).

The game builds upon the original Sprunki's music-mixing mechanics while introducing new features and gameplay elements. Like its predecessor, it focuses on creating an engaging musical experience through interactive gameplay.

I'd love to get feedback from the HN community on the game mechanics and music integration.

Hey HN! Like many of you, I absolutely hate writing HTML emails. Nested tables everywhere, client compatibility issues, and that feeling when you need to modify something in those deeply nested elements... pure pain.

While there are plenty of drag-n-drop email builders out there, I still found myself diving into code for custom stuff. That's when I discovered MJML - it's amazing at handling all the tedious HTML email stuff and makes the code actually maintainable.

Then I thought - what if I could combine MJML with AI to just... look at a design and write the code for me? After a few months of development, I built [paste2email.com](http://paste2email.com).

How it works:

1. Paste your email design image (or just describe what you want in plain text)

2. The latest Claude-3.5-Sonnet(2024-10-22) model generates MJML code for you

3. Use the built-in variable system to easily swap content

4. See live preview(mobile & desktop) as MJML compiles to HTML

5. Export everything with Handlebars support - just plug in your variables and you're done

6. Connect it to your email service (like nodemailer) and ship it!

\To get you started, you’ll get 10 free credits. That’s enough to generate 3 emails and tweak one of them, or go for 2 emails with 4 rounds of refinements.

---

I built this specifically for developers who, like me, hate the tedious parts of HTML email development but need more control than drag-n-drop builders offer.

Would love to hear your feedback! You can try logging in with email to check out an actual email I created using this tool.

After struggling with constant distractions while working, I built Deep Work Zone, a free Chrome extension with three simple but powerful features:

Deep Work Timer

Distraction Shield

Analytics Dashboard

Would love your feedback! What features would make this more useful for your workflow? https://www.producthunt.com/posts/deep-work-zone

I have a background in mechanical engineering and a master’s in Renewable Energy. I spent a few years working on mini-grid sector before moving to a think tank/non-profit, where I focused on energy policy at the national level. My work there involved energy system modeling (primarily using PyPSA), and I discovered a real passion for coding through this experience.

Now, I’m currently unemployed due to limited opportunities in the policy field where I’m based. I’d like to transition into tech roles that integrate my experience in energy/climate with programming. I’m open to any advice on fields to explore or specific areas where I should upskill.

Thanks for any guidance!

Hi guys.

I am interested in how algorithms like JPEG and other compression algorithms work.

I quick Google reveals so many options.

Anyone in the industry working with data compression have any recommendations?

Is there a go-to Bible that the industry uses which curates & describes the essentials & basics of data compression?
