Jakob Maier's personal blog at jakobmaier.at covers programming, web and games. Since 2022, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 15 times, most often “A Silly Usecase for WebSockets (strobe warning)”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-04-22, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked as a project page for a silly WebSockets demo, a lamp with a strobe effect. The comment only points to the page source and says nothing about the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
I'm a software engineer from Vorarlberg, living in Vienna. This is my personal website, where I write about various projects and stuff that I find interesting.

What Hacker News says?
A 3D terrain renderer called 'FreeFlight', using real world elevation data and aerial imagery. I am hoping to turn it into a flight simulator eventually. https://www.jakobmaier.at/posts/free-flight/
