Did someone hallucinate how scrolling is supposed to work on a web page?

Yes agreed, Ive been searching for some better photos but might have to wait a while

Agreed. But by the description it sounds like it has very long wheels base.

Oh, and it’s completely different on mobile. Game is slower and much easier to score well.

My feedback above was on desktop.

Really like this game. A few bits of feedback:

- Can you add a keyboard key that also launches, rather than always have to be a click - Can you make it so it restarts without having to click the play again button? Maybe use the same keyboard button as above? - When fail, why does the ship fall to the floor? Maybe a gentle curve away would be more "realistic" - Why is the bg squares? Maybe it should be more of a subtle space bg

Thanks for making it!

Also considered to be one of the best ever at these

I use the baked in Apple transcription and haven't had any issues. But what I do is usually pretty simple.

What makes the others vastly better?

What are people doing with OpenClaw? Are there any places that try to log best uses and new ideas?

Hahah - you'd have made Kerbal Space Program :-)

Haha excellent. Presumably all the images are the full res haven’t been scaled down for the web at all?

New comment by jonwinstanley in "Ask HN: How is AI-assisted coding going for you professionally?"

jonwinstanley — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 20:51:55 +0000

Agreed, you often dig into what it built and find something insanely over engineered or something that doesn’t match the “style” of your existing code.

If you're paying a monthly fee for your agent, might as well use it to save you another few mins

Presumably the agents will band together on Moltbook and buld their own TrustPilot competitor? :-)

jonwinstanley — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 15:15:57 +0000

Presumably price would reduce due to the ease of which people can spin up competitors?

New comment by jonwinstanley in "AI is killing B2B SaaS"

jonwinstanley — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 21:55:34 +0000

So you think this downturn will be short lived?

When management realise that the vibe coded projects are not maintainable, SAAS will be as popular as ever

Yes there’s no point using technically correct words if hardly anyone know them.

Agreed, after years of software development only in the last couple of months have I started to think that maybe I need to reskill.

My current role should be ok for a few years, but hard to know if we will need any developers in 5 or 10.
