Show HN: Online Game Emulation Platform – Afterplay.io Hello HN users, I made a web app that allows you to upload any SNES or GameBoy ROM file and play right within the web browser. It’s called Afterplay.io. It got a lot of upvotes on Reddit, and I noticed users signing up and coming back to play games every day, which feels great and has motivated me to keep on developing this thing :). Demo Video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K9iYbJ-1lQ Site : https://afterplay.io Problem: I couldn't play emulated games across my devices easily with saves. The Apple App Store does not allow emulator apps. Solution: Use Afterplay.io. It works in the browser, on PC’s, Mac’s, Android and iOS phones. Once you upload a game file, it will be stored on our server and we save the state of your gameplay automatically each 20 seconds. You can sign in, upload and play a game from your Mac, and later resume from your iPad or Android phone right where you left off. This is the first iteration of the web app. The core functionality is working but there’s still a lot of work to do. So I’m writing code and pushing tiny improvements a few times a day. I welcome any thoughts or suggestions. May 18, 2021 at 05:00PM

Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
