I'm building a game wiki/guide platform right now[1]. The idea mainly came from just wanting to re-create a game's interface on the web[2] and it gradually grew to a game guide and now a multi-game guide platform. I tried to learn new tech on the way to keep myself interested. The large parts being LeafletJS/PixiJS, moving onto React, then Firebase, and so on.
A lot of my web project ideas are related to the video game community because I often use and contribute to them and constantly find certain things lacking (wikis, forums, list trackers, news). So this project has nicely grew into something that I can both learn from and enjoy building for the long term. Of course there are the tedious parts (like upgrades and maintenance) but they're overcome gradually; it is just a side project right now.

- cridenour 9y agoThis sounds awesome. Excited to check it out! Me and my wife were working on a way to take game wikis and make them mobile friendly for when we play games like Starbound / Stardew Valley. These types of projects are fun because you're feeling the pain of it while trying to have fun so it's a lot of motivation.
