Currently getting a 503 on the docs: https://docs.canine.sh/


I'm American, 'one' and 'won' are pronounced the same. I'm trying figure out how they would be pronounced differently...

Thyme and Time are also the same for me (although I understand this one). I wonder where the other commenter is from.


I saw a few YouTube videos about one vs won. Some pronounce them the same. Some say they pronounce them the same, but when they use an example sentence, "won" is clearly more o-ey, more closed, than "one". Some videos pronounce "won" with a definite "o"-ishness to it, like wOn, not wAn.

I can admit most people likely pronounce won as wAn and that I was wrong even though no one ever corrected my "won" having an o sound (or a mix of a and o).

Is "wanna" pronounced the same as "won a":

> I wanna do it

> I won a prize


Tried to visit the site, seems down? It's http://hyphen.space/ right?


Hypen [sic]. Not the punctuation :)

The Dutch especially. It's refreshing


Very nice. Currently on mobile where it mostly works in landscape. (Unusable in portrait). Will check it out on desktop later.

Love the idea of making someone's day.


Great idea! I added a github issue for my game platform https://gametje.com. It currently has 8 multiplayer party games. Play on your smart TV, laptop. phone to phone, or directly within Discord.

I made a Show HN post back in November: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45887709 but I've added two games since then.

Thanks for creating this.


Thank you! It should be on there now :)


Fun little game, worked well enough on mobile. Some of the upgrades were cut off and I left auto move on, but I was still able to beat the average fairly easily and was just off the leader board.

Some small tweaks for having everything be viewable and I'd say it is playable on mobile.

Nice job


> That's why having goofy names for them matters so much, because it reminds me not to believe the biggest bog lie of all: that I'm stuck in a situation unlike any I, or anyone else, has ever seen before.

Toward the bottom of the article in case you didn't get that far.


What languages would you like to be playing in? I guess Noot vir Noot is Afrikaans?


It is Afrikaans.

It’s not so much the language as the content. Songs and pop culture that 30-60 year old South Africans would be familiar with.


I know these guys. Definitely give their games a try! They are actively developing and making it better every week. It's especially fun in person. My favorite game is the dodgeball game.

If you prefer more quiz/slower paced games akin to Jackbox. You can check out my project which was also on HackerNews recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45887709


Thank John! Def. give Gametje a try as well, great games and even greater guy behind it :)
