Show HN: Pomoflow – a 1-bit Pomodoro with a todo list that syncs without sign-uphttps://pomoflow.pages.dev

Pomoflow is (yet another) Pomodoro app in a 1-bit style inspired by the early Macintosh GUI. It also has a todo list you can sync between your devices without having to login to an account. A jukebox loads and plays your favourite YouTube playlists. And there are bonus weekly focus stats for the numberphiles among us. I built this because I wanted three things in one place: a pomodoro timer that looks good, a task list that syncs across my devices without an account (the apps I tried kept putting sync behind a login or a paywall), and my YT playlists I could play without having to leave the t…

Show HN: I benchmarked 6 MCP proxies in Claude Code, then built my ownhttps://rabin-a.github.io/mcp-router

I compared 6 MCP proxies inside Claude Code. Most advertise 85–99% token savings, but those numbers assume every tool schema is loaded upfront, and Claude Code already avoids that. On real tasks, 4 of them used more tokens than no proxy at all, and 2 couldn't finish the tasks. So I built my own router, which cut tokens by 13–44% and completed every task.

Gondwana is a 2D/2.5D game engine for C#/.NET 8 that I’ve been building over the past 16 months, using SkiaSharp for rendering. I've spent my career creating web and distributed apps and that has influenced the engine's development, so it will feel very familiar to anyone with a similar background. The engine is deliberately code-first in its implementation but still includes visual authoring tools and a custom CLI. I started creating Gondwana to host my own RTS and SNES-style games, to offload the game ideas percolating in my brain. I wanted to focus more on creating gameplay systems and w…

Show HN: Donut Browser, the most private anti-detect browserhttps://github.com/donutbrowser/donutbrowser

Hi everyone! About 2 years ago, I began to work on Donut Browser as a tool to manage browser profiles, which over time has evolved into a proper anti-detect browser. Anti-detect browsers let you create browser profiles that look like as if you have a completely different computer. I believe Donut is the most private anti-detect browser because: - It has no telemetry and doesn't track your browsing activity - It spoofs your browser identity in a way that looks like a real device for every profile - It notifies you when a website takes a snapshot of your browser identity - It is built on top of…
