Show HN: UK Butchers Meat Price Tracker
Show HN (score: 15)Description
Long time lurker, thought I would contribute back something to the community (at least the meat eaters in the UK). One thing that's been a pain for me to get a good understanding of is what the best price is for online butchers based around the UK. I like high quality meat (including some of the bigger cuts for kamado/bbq), and I'm willing to pay a premium however there isn't a single resource that would let me get an overview of what's available and price movements over time.
For my Xmas meat I didn't want to start building out a spreadsheet so I built a price tracker with quite a few convenience features to make it easy to search for certain cuts of meat across commonly mentioned butchers on Reddit and other communities.
If you find it useful let me know if there are any features that could help to make it even easier to find the cuts of meat that you're looking for!
Here's the tracker: https://offer-spider.onrender.com
Hosted on Render, built with Nextjs and SQLite. Spidering various custom e-com sites (WooCommerce, Shopify) on a daily basis.
My current TODOs: - Search is currently free-text OR. Add AND to allow focussing down a search, and select from facets/categories/taxonomy - Common search terms to pre-fill - Exposing price over time metrics - Further consolidation of SKUs to an internal taxonomy - More butchers - Expanding to other use cases outside of meat!

Show HN: sudocode – manage specs, tasks, and context-as-code for coding agents
Show HN: sudocode – manage specs, tasks, and context-as-code for coding agents sudocode is a lightweight context management system for coding agents that lives in your repo. It helps organize the chaos of human-AI collaboration by capturing user intent as durable specs and tracking agent activity as issues, all version-controlled with Git. This "context-as-code" approach reduces agent amnesia and accelerates development on long-horizon tasks.

Show HN: Mochia, a virtual pet browser game, built with Rust, SolidJS, Postgres
Show HN: Mochia, a virtual pet browser game, built with Rust, SolidJS, Postgres Around three years ago, I was reminiscing about how much I loved playing Neopets as a kid. Meanwhile, I was also looking for a project to better learn Rust and SolidJS. So.. I figured making my own virtual pet browser game would be a fun way to practice! Since then, I’ve been working on it nearly every day, and.. it’s grown quite a bit! Here are some bulleted lists for your convenience:<p>Technical Details:<p><pre><code> * Backend monolithic Rust server runs on a single $5/month VPS * Lean frontend with just 3 dependencies (SolidJS, Solid Router, and Mutative) * Around 130,000 combined lines of code (frontend + backend) * Rust server uses axum, sqlx, tokio, rand, strum, tungstenite (websockets) * No server crashes or data loss in 3 years (thank you Rust + Postgres!) * Almost all graphics (500+ assets) are SVGs for perfect detail at every zoom level * Fully mobile responsive and playable on all modern browsers and devices * Actor model for player actions enables trivial parallel, multi-core scaling * Single page application that preloads entire game world on initial page load * Instantaneous navigation between pages (no additional page fetches required) * Lightweight game engine for minigames, powered by custom WebGL shaders * Rust is the single source of truth for data structures shared between browser and server * Custom derive macros used to autogenerate TypeScript bindings and binary decoding functions * Binary WebSocket messages with custom protocol for client-server communication * O(1) selection for nested, weighted-random item reward pools * Minigames can be played without an account (but rewards can't be saved) </code></pre> Features:<p><pre><code> * Completely free to play with no ads or tracking * Multiplayer browser-based virtual world with 80+ locations to explore * Dark mode toggle switch * Simple minigames that smoothly run at your display's refresh rate * Public leaderboards that track the top scores in each minigame * Pet training system with turn-based card-based battle arena * Dynamic player economy with player-run shops * Player guilds that members can level up to unlock perks * Abandoned mines area created by maze generation algorithm * Create / adopt pets, adorn them with hats, give them pets, change their color, etc. * 220 items to collect (food, toys, cosmetics, books, charms, tiny creatures, etc.) * In-game currency with banking, auctions, stock market, and jobs system * Villagers you can talk to, befriend, and complete quests and jobs for * Optional push notifications (like for when you win an auction) * 38 achievement avatars to unlock * Social features: befriend others, send gifts, and share your recent activity * NPC shops that restock over time (sometimes with very rare items!) * Luck system with ways to boost your luck for better rewards * Many puzzles that grant items or MP (currency) when solved * Fishing, gardening, caves, random events, fountains, galleries, etc. * Wheels to spin, treasure maps to complete, and secrets to explore! * Much, much more but I don't want to spoil everything! </code></pre> Links:<p><pre><code> * Website URL: https://mochia.net * Community Discord: https://discord.gg/ub6z8YH866 * Gameplay Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC6beIxLq8Q * Screenshots Album: https://imgur.com/a/FC9f9u3 </code></pre> I'd love to answer any questions, hear any thoughts, or read any sort of feedback or criticism!
