Show HN: A challenging Android game built using Flutter and Flame Engine

v123l — Sat, 05 Apr 2025 07:59:29 +0000

I wanted to learn game development so decided to create this simple yet challenging mobile game. You need fast reflexes to score higher :)

It is using Flutter and Flame Engine.

Over the past 2 months, I've added 4 modes of different difficulties.

Show HN: I built a simplified Android launcher for seniors

v123l — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 17:22:21 +0000

Hello everyone,

I built this app for a family member, which allows me to set up a simple home screen with selected apps and optional contacts, while locking down everything else to avoid mistakenly changing anything.

Another reason for creating this app was that the existing launchers for seniors had confusing or not good UI for home screen.

Would love to hear the feedback.

Will look into publishing to the F-Droid. If it isn't lot of work, then will do it.

Show HN: I built a free and open source minimalist launcher for Android

Created a minimalist launcher for personal use. After using it as my daily driver, I slowly start removing all the distracting and unnecessary apps and reduced installed apps on my phone from 125 to 47 currently. A minimal launcher is not for everyone but using it greatly decreased my phone usage and saved a lot of time. The app recently reached 1000 downloads on the play store. So decided to share it here with everyone. Feedback is most welcome.

Thank you

Really enjoyed this. Thanks for creating it.

#7 is my personal enemy. Maybe it's just me but it was hard to pin point the exact number on a smaller screen.

Maybe increasing the the font size of the numbers or increasing the duration between each movement might help.

Great work. Coincidentally, I am working on similar tool built using Sveltekit and posted about it on HN today as well :-)

Show HN: Website to help you find long weekends

v123l — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 16:34:20 +0000

Hello HN,

Recently, I was going through my calendar and holiday list in order to maximize my leave days by finding a long weekend.

So, I decided to create a tool that will find all the long weekends for the year and more.

I hope it will be as useful to you as it is to me. Would love to hear your feedback on it.
