Show HN: I revamped a multiplayer Minesweeper game

Hacker News - Mon, 04/14/2025 - 6:35am

Hi everyone! First of all, the response from last time really was overwhelming, at one point even reaching 54 concurrent players, so thank you for that! (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43398081)

Secondly, I wanted to provide the final revamped game based on all your feedback. Several common themes from the comments lead to some major improvements:

• Many people found the rate limit restrictive, while others found the game to sometimes be too quick. The solution to this was creating three separate modes, each one having a different rate limit and grid size. Now players can pick a more casual, intermediate, or competitive game.

• The scoring system needed some changes. Rewards for correctly clearing and flagging cells are now the same. Also, incorrect actions now result in a higher penalty.

• People were looking for features to better connect with other players. So now it's possible to customize your player name and also chat with others in the same game.

Show HN: I made the first booking platform for digital nomads

Hacker News - Mon, 04/14/2025 - 6:20am

I love the nomad life but it comes with its downsides. For me the constant research has become a bit tiring. Finding the next city / country to stay in is fun and there's a lot of good tools for that but the rest just feels like a chore at this point:

- Finding the best neighborhood that's fun, safe and affordable - Finding the right accommodation that fits my preferences - Potentially adding a co-working space or a gym - Making sure these aren't too far from each other - Fitting everything in my budget

So I built a booking platform that does it for you. It's a passion project of mine but I thought it might be useful for others too.

Here's how it works:

- Helps you find the best area for you - Creates a package of accommodation + gym + co-working space - In budget - In walking / driving distance - You can swap out each individual part as you like

I got some positive initial feedback from other nomads and spent the past 6 weeks expanding to 130+ cities in over 70 countries. It now has over 70k hotels, 50k gyms and 10k co-working spaces.

I hope this can be a useful resource for other nomads and help save you some time that you can spend traveling instead.
