This is highly polished indeed and I'm likely going to try it, mostly for its animations regarding dropping plants and rocks as I lack micro animations for it in my game.

Thanks! This is also what I love doing as realtime games are something like 90% of my side project. This was a real fun prototype to create as everything regarding terrain is done through shaders (even user cursors). Will soon add a way for

That's so refreshing to hear to be honest! I've went on so many side projects hoping I would see adoption for months and was basically chasing the dream. However I've came to realize that I really take happiness in developing

I’m creating an observability tool that I’m trying to make user-centric while staying developer friendly. Most of the tools for remote logging, live dashboards and alerts are either too big, too expensive, or have a “per seat” plan, and inc

I've actually went and looked over the sub reddit and it's a great resource for exactly what I was looking for (thanks even more for the Google Sheets). Given the pricepoint and specs of the BeeLink, its availability for shipping

Very shameless plug on your last "Edit:", but I think it fits perfectly one feature that a web extension I made does: https://webcursors.click/ . There's a feature to write a note and leave it on the page for

I was planning on open-sourcing the extension itself, but not the backend for now because of some secrets. But ultimately, my goal is to create a blog post to create a minimal yet functional Chrome extension connected to a backend with sock

Hey thanks! Editing/deleting notes would require some sort of authentication for the backend to recognise ownership of the notes, but this could be a great incentive toward pushing users to sign up for the tool. Will definitely look at

Thanks! The hard part was actually understand Chrome extension's lifecycle and communication between the content script, popup, and service worker. What I initially thought was going to be hard, ended up being actually quite easy (cf s

Thanks for the compliment! Content moderation is a nightmare and I've been working in technical/product fields where this is a daily issue. The first choice was to make everything ephemeral: messages are not stored anywhere, and n

Hey! So for scaling it should scale quite easily with socket.io room’s implementation with Redis when required, and unless I’m having a hell lot of people on it at the same time it shouldn't be much of an issue given the small footprin

Thanks, this is definitely one of the most enjoyable side project I've done so far. It's rapidly satisfying, I can easily add new features, and I find it fun to see and interact even with a few users on random websites. I've

That's actually a great idea! Will work on it in the next fews days. Also planning on putting a quick tutorial to explain the concept. PS: Thanks for the link, looking at it right now.

Really like the concept, and played it longer than I initially expected! Shameless plug for a multiplayer puzzle game I created a year ago https://flipcards.online of which your game reminded me. Although mine has nothing relaxi
