Ask HN: AI changed coding–what's the real‑world equivalent for sales/marketing?

Hacker News - 17 hours 25 min ago

Solo dev here—Copilot/GPT already writes half my code, but when it’s time to hustle users I’m still juggling spreadsheets and cold‑email templates. Anyone hacked together an AI setup that actually handles indie‑scale marketing stuff—finding leads, drafting launch copy, tweaking pricing pages — and can share what moved the needle (opens, sign‑ups, $$ saved, whatever)? Real stacks, real numbers, war stories welcome.

Show HN: A Fast, Ad-Free Paper.io Clone in the Browser – No Login, Just Play

Hacker News - 18 hours 7 min ago

Hi HN,

I built a lightweight, ad-free version of Paper.io that runs directly in the browser: https://paperio.im/

No login, no downloads, no interruptions — just click and play. It's built for performance and simplicity, with real-time smooth canvas rendering and basic AI logic to simulate other players. Fully responsive and works well on both desktop and mobile.

Tech Stack:

Pure JS + Canvas (no heavy frameworks)

Local game logic, no backend required

Lightweight grid-based collision detection + greedy pathfinding for bots

Why I built this: I’ve always enjoyed quick-play browser games, but most versions of Paper.io online are either filled with ads, laggy, or cluttered with unnecessary UI. So I decided to build my own streamlined version for fun.

What’s next:

Adding real-time multiplayer (WebSockets)

Leaderboard system

Custom color/skin options

Maybe open-source it if there’s enough interest

I’d love feedback from the community — on performance, game mechanics, or just general ideas. Let me know what you’d like to see next!
