November 2026

No. 02 4 so far, newest first

  1. Death Plan Switch

    deathplanswitch.com

    A self-hosted dead man's switch that tells your contacts if you stop answering its weekly email.

    Got right: Most tools in this category tiptoe. This one opens with “We all die. Die knowing the right people will be told.”

    Launch Positioning Tool by Tecky

  2. NOSFER-A-TOOTH

    gregs-games.itch.io

    A free roguelike autobattler prototype where you play a vampire with no teeth.

    Got right: The pun is also the design: “you're a toothless vampire and your teeth are your build”.

    Launch Naming Game by gregs-games

  3. Outcrop

    outcrop.rocks

    Paints geologic maps over your camera view, so you can see what the rocks around you are and how old they are.

    Got right: One geology word and a .rocks domain. Then “Drag the phone across the canyon” explains the app before you install it.

    Launch Naming App by Flyover Country LLC

  4. Permit Pending

    permit.petercai.com

    A city builder where you play the mayor and every project has to clear hearings, appeals and elections.

    Got right: The tagline finishes the joke the name starts: “Build the city of your dreams.” Then, underneath: “Subject to approval”.
