What Hacker News says?

  1. Sure. The code's up on my site [0]. Please note that I'm a beginner programmer, so the code probably looks really ugly to professional devs. I plan on refactoring the code once I get more advanced in programming. [0] https://capybasilisk.com/posts/2020/04/speculative-fiction-b...
