Show HN: Gondwana, a code-first C#/.NET game engine with WebGLhttps://github.com/Isthimius/Gondwana
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…

Porsche’s electric Macan Turbo is an automotive existential crisishttps://techcrunch.com/2026/10/16/porsches-electric-macan-turbo-is-an-automotive-existential-crisis

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…
