Hi HN! First time poster, long time lurker.<p>Anyone open for a coffee&#x2F;beer&#x2F;hike in the Hangzhou, Suzhou or Shanghai area before Jan 18th? Email me (address in bio)!<p>A little bit about me: I&#x27;m mainly an algebraic geometer, but I&#x27;m broadly interested in everything else too. My recent addiction is learning about topological quantum computing... We can talk about anything you like too, it&#x27;s so hard to find similar minded people here :-&#x2F; so let&#x27;s not fix a topic.<p>I&#x27;m fluently in both Mandarin and English (China-born, PhDed in the US).

Hi HN,<p>I grew up playing Dragon Quest VII, but I always hated how archaic the text-based walkthroughs (GameFAQs) and ad-heavy wikis felt. With the new &quot;Reimagined&quot; demo out on Switch 2&#x2F;Steam, I decided to build a modern companion tool.<p>The Stack:<p>Built with Astro for zero-JS performance on static pages.<p>Tailwind CSS for the UI (aiming for a clean, game-menu aesthetic).<p>Local Storage to persist checklist progress (no login required).<p>Key Features:<p>Interactive Shard Locator: Filter collectible fragments by region&#x2F;color.<p>Progress Tracking: Check off &quot;Missable Items&quot; and &quot;Story Flags&quot; as you go.<p>Responsive: Works perfectly on mobile while you play on console.<p>It’s a passion project to see if game guides can be more than just static text walls. Would love to hear your feedback on the UX!

The best phone in 2026 is a dying iPhone 12 mini. It’s the smallest smartphone still maintained by a major manufacturer (both software updates and repair parts), runs all apps securely &amp; as designed, costs ~$150 with accessories available for dirt cheap (my favorite sleeve officially made by Apple [1] cost $129 on release but is now available for around $10). A dying battery makes the phone <i>better</i> - it forces you use the phone less and only when you really need it. Don’t replace your battery, just turn the phone off and you’ll feel immediately less stressed. If you don’t want to miss calls, get an old Apple Watch with cellular and use it as your main “phone”. Buy a dying iPhone mini to save the planet and yourself, and maybe if Apple sees enough active minis they will make another one...<p>[1]: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apple.fandom.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;IPhone_12_Leather_Sleeve_with_MagSafe

Ever needed to send a file to someone standing right next to you, but didn&#x27;t want to use email or a cloud server?<p>Check out Beam. It turns your screen into a data stream, allowing you to transfer files securely to another device using just your camera. It works completely offline, meaning your data never leaves the room.<p>Simple, secure, and surveillance-free.<p>Give it a try: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;get-beam.vercel.app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;get-beam.vercel.app</a>

Hi HN! I built Image Scaler because I was frustrated with existing free online image tools. They either limit batch processing to a handful of images, require login&#x2F;registration, or add watermarks. And they usually upload your images to unknown servers.<p>I originally made this for myself when I needed to resize large batches of product photos. I wanted something fast, lightweight, and privacy-respecting that could handle real workflow volumes without artificial restrictions.<p>What makes it different:<p>- Complete client-side processing using Canvas API, so images never leave your browser<p>- Batch processing up to 60 images simultaneously (most free tools cap at 3-10)<p>- No login, no watermarks, no usage limits<p>- Traditional interpolation algorithms (nearest-neighbor, bilinear, bicubic) instead of AI black boxes<p>- Supports JPG, PNG, and WebP<p>- Fast and lightweight (built with vanilla JavaScript)<p>Technical notes: The entire processing pipeline runs in your browser&#x27;s Canvas API. There&#x27;s no server upload step, which eliminates privacy concerns and makes it surprisingly fast even for large batches. I chose traditional algorithms over AI because they&#x27;re transparent, predictable, and work well for most use cases (pixel art, web images, photo preparation).<p>Feel free to try it out: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;image-scaler.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;image-scaler.com</a>
