yea offline is definitely supported (settings > sync your map > toggle 'off')

share links will no longer work, but you can still use image/video export to show friends!

Show HN: All roads lead home – a Google timeline replacement

lizhang — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 14:24:01 +0000

I was a bit concerned when Google was sending comms about decommissioning Timeline on web. Then they did a mobile migration, and lost a bunch of user info.

Started this app so I can always have a copy of my timeline on my icloud + server + device (3,2,1 rule)

Hope y'all are able to find some value in it as well!

Show HN: Steal-a-GIF – A browser tool to export GIFs from locked down platforms

lizhang — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 14:28:36 +0000

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!

I made this multiplayer game lobby if anyone needs something to fill the time on remote social hours: https://play.cncl.co/

Show HN: Game Lobby for Remote Play

lizhang — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 15:46:28 +0000

Whenever my remote team looks for something to play together, there is tons of friction: * watch a minute long ad * can't tell who's in yet * staring at a lobby waiting for someone with a bad connection * decision paralysis of what to play

Tried to make something that solves this. It's chaotic, it's fast, the games are easy to learn. Don't need to reorganize the lobby every time the group gets tired of one game.

It's all vibe coded, and claude adds new games based on a description (usually 1-shot)

(desktop only, sorry!)

OOC: i thought trump installed several justices in his past term, so they are theoretically already voting along his lines? Is it expected for trump to act completely against this supreme court that his party has a lot of influence over?
