Blast your Github commits
This newsletter was brought to you byVantaBlast your GitHub year
gm legends, happy Thursday.
Today’s lineup: a tiny space shooter that turns your GitHub graph into a battlefield, a browser poke that brings back full-screen chaos when someone ignores you, and a slightly unhinged Mac creature that gets mad when you wander off the task you said you’d do.
Turn commits into a shooter

GitHub Space Shooter turns your GitHub contribution graph into a playable space shooter. Your green squares become enemies, your activity becomes the map, and you dodge and fire your way through your own commit history. You can use the web app for a one off run or plug in the GitHub Action to regenerate new battlefields on a schedule.
🔥 Our Take: Not everything has to boost your productivity or sharpen your personal brand. This is just a silly little game that lets you literally blast through your year on GitHub, then close the tab and get on with your day.
n8n is in the running for an Orbit Award

If n8n has been the thing quietly holding your workflows together, chaining together automations, or replacing a pile of brittle scripts, this is the moment to back it. Orbit Awards look at real usage signals, and reviews are a big part of that.
If it’s earned a permanent place in your stack, head to the n8n Product Hunt Hub and leave a review explaining how you actually use it. The boring, practical details are exactly what matter here.

Screen shakes are back

WizzyPoke is a Chrome extension that lets you send old-school screen shakes to your friends when “seen” clearly didn’t mean “noticed.” You pair with a simple 6-digit code, no phone numbers, then fire off nudges that vibrate their browser across apps like WhatsApp Web, YouTube, Netflix, and more.
🔥 Our Take: This is straight MSN Messenger energy for the mid-30s internet kid who now lives in Slack and unread DMs. In a sea of polite notifications, a full-screen wobble is beautifully blunt: hey, look here, right now. It’s dumb, unnecessary, and exactly the kind of fun the web used to have more of.
Focus with consequences

Kiki for Mac is an accountability monster that lives on your desktop and keeps you honest about the thing you said you would do. You pick one task, choose the apps you actually need, hit start, and it sits there typing away in the corner while you work. Wander off into side quests like Notion tweaks, Slack, or YouTube and it reacts with chaos, from small nudges to lights flickering and fake fires, until you get back to the job at hand.
🔥 Our Take: If your problem these days is less social media and more suddenly remembering ten other important things the moment you sit down to focus, it’s not a calm productivity coach. It is a slightly unhinged little presence that makes drifting off annoying enough that you finally stick with the thing in front of you.
