I wrote the “ai” for one of the early popular forks of Slime Volleyball. I have a lot of fond memories! Recently I wrote a modern interpretation of the game in pure TypeScript/html canvas. It requires a real keyboard or gamepad - sorry no phones. Some of the single player ooponents are pretty fun. It’s at https://tippycoco.com and it’s all open source.

You’re probably in the process of learning this now, but in case you’re just getting started: effective multiple myeloma treatments are being approved at an astonishing rate. It was a death sentence 20 years ago. Now it’s indefinitely treatable for many people.

A close family member was diagnosed 5 years ago and went through a stem cell transplant at Dana farber and the cancer still hasn’t returned…although statistically by now I believe it should have. But when it does return there is now a massive menu of next treatments for her that will likely hold it at bay.

Things are changing so fast now that I’m not sure the stem cell treatment is the first step.

Good luck to your dad.

I'd been waiting/hoping for someone to make something like this. Well done. A few ideas that will not clutter the UI but you might consider:

  - when a user changes the score slider, encode that in the URL with a hash tag, so they can bookmark the page with their preferred settings
  - a left button allowing me to step back to yesterday's news
  - to simplify newsletter signups, just accept an e-mail address right on that page
  - your **advanced** options:
    - have GPT score each news story across common labels: science, politics, entertainment, news, etc. Then allow these as a filter. If I want to see the top science stories of the day, that should be easy.
    - have GPT write a 2 sentence summary of each story as a lead-in after the headline title
    - a user/saved whitelist/blacklist of news sites
    - any advanced setting should be shareable. For example, if someone puts the effort in to make a page with just Australian news sources, focused on sports, with a minimum score of 5.0, they could save that with a title that can be shared for anyone.
Congrats on a well-executed project.
