Show HN: OpenTaxRate – open-source US sales tax rates by street address I built this because I tried many sales tax APIs and the problems were: a) the rates were a black box with no source attached b) lookups resolved by ZIP code. ZIP codes are postal routes, not tax jurisdictions. Stripe's Tax team wrote a good post on this [1]: two houses in Drexel, MO share a city, a ZIP, and nearly a house number, but sit in different counties with different rates. If your lookup key is the ZIP, you are wrong on those addresses, even when the rate table is accurate. OpenTaxRate resolves the street address instead: - SST member states (24): the quarterly rate + boundary files, street ranges and ZIP+4, not just the rate tables - Non-SST states: a custom adapter for each state, using its DOR's own published tables and boundary files (TX Comptroller, FL DR-15DSS, ALDOR, IDOR, NY Pub 718, California via CDTFA's lookup, etc) - Census TIGER for geometry I tried with multiple open source geocod...

Show HN: Termcraft – 2D terminal survival with multiplayer support Earlier this year, I started developing Termcraft, a terminal-based 2D survival game written in Rust. Since its first release more than half a year ago, I've added multiplayer support, so you can now host a game and play with friends (or colleagues during a meeting?); Up to 8 players. I've also substantially improved the visuals, lighting, physics, and overall gameplay. A friend and I ended up spending the entire weekend playing through the game from start to finish. The progression takes you from gathering wood and building a shelter to crafting equipment, exploring caves, finding diamonds, crossing the Nether, and fighting the Ender Dragon. There are villages, farming, collaborative building, PvP, and player chat along the way. It's open source under the AGPL-3.0 license, with downloadable builds for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
