Definitely. But stripping out all the bots feels weirdly great when you suddenly start seeing the real people emerge from the noise.

Depressing that this feels great, but it is what it is...

Hey HN, author here!

We're trying to do a bit of marketing, but it's very hard to measure anything when there's so much noise in the data. So I thought "fuck it", and decided to filter it all out.

It was a bit worse than expected... The dashboard said 2.5k humans a week. Two basic checks (did the IP load the CSS, and does it come from a datacenter) and it was down to about 230.

There were a few interesting findings along the way.

(Also, yeah, numbers aren't great, but I'm trying!)

90% of my "human" visitors were bots luna-park.app

That's pretty funny but not what I envision for my landing page, I'll have to take a look... (thanks for the heads up)

I think the evolution of vibe coding tool is definitely the editor. Having a black box with no way to maintain it is an absolute liability.

That's why I think app generators must be a good editor before being able to generate anything. It seems you went this way with the cool node interface.

I'm doing the same thing with https://luna-park.app, but for fullstack apps.

I'm recommending some video games like Human Resource Machine: https://store.steampowered.com/app/375820/Human_Resource_Mac... It's always fun to "see" the logic being executed and have fun challenges.

On the next step, I believe things like Scratch are pretty good to introduce to programming.

On the web development part, I built a little "game" as a tutorial of my tool: https://luna-park.app/challenge . It's JS with visual nodes, this is used to learn algorithmic for students.

Hey, author of https://luna-park.app here! (I was wondering where the spike in visits came from ^^'... Thanks a lot for mentioning me!).

Luna Park was indeed a npm package that you could integrate to allow users to build their own logic using visual scripting. In the end, I pivoted, and Luna Park is now a visual scripting wrapper around the Vue.js framework, allowing people to build modern webapps without code. (I also made https://roller-coaster.app to create endpoints using the visual scripting system of Luna Park)

In any case, that's super cool to see people building awesome tools like yours in the visual programming space :) ! I love how Flyde show you what node is running, and the way it executes logic is really interesting!

Thanks a lot! It's kind of a love-it or hate-it coat, but it's way more fun and memorable!

Hope you spend a good time solving the puzzles :)

Hey guys!

So I've been building a web-based visual scripting engine. You might be familiar with this if you use the Unreal Engine Blueprint, or Unity Bolt, as it's the same concept.

To learn it, I built a little game where you have to solve puzzles using visual scripting. It's a bit like Advent Of Code, you have a cool backstory and puzzles with more and more complexity (but it's a lot easier)
