We launch Chip Builder on Product Hunt on November 2. It is a puzzle game where you start with one logic gate and finish with a working CPU that you wired yourself.
While we built it, we kept asking one question: which step makes people say "oh, so that's how it works"? Maybe it is the adder, the first flip-flop that remembers a bit, or the moment a CPU runs its first program.
We would love to hear from you:
1. Which part of a computer still feels like magic to you?
ChipBuilder is a story driven puzzle game about digital logic. Start with a single AND gate and work your way up through registers, memory, and a full ALU, until you have wired together a working CPU with your own hands.
I ve been building the product I ll be launching on Select.supply for the last 3 months, trying to solve one annoying problem: how to quickly discover and share beautifully designed, high-quality products that rarely show up on mainstream shopping platforms.
The hardest part so far has been nailing down the product curation algorithm, I spent weeks testing which signals actually predict whether a product is select-worthy, and kept discarding entire recommendation flows.
The breakthrough moment came when I realized that combining expert-selected products with community voting produced far better results than any pure-algorithmic feed. Once I implemented that hybrid approach, the product discovery experience felt magical and genuinely useful.
I m launching in a few days, if you want early access or want to see the launch, drop a comment or ask me anything. Happy to share more details!
