Thank you! FWIW I certainly hit storage space in some boring ways - I didn't have a good logrotate setup so I almost ran out of disk, and I sent my box-check logs to Redis and had to set something up to offload old logs to disk to not

(I'm the author) I don't think it's unscalable at all - it's just that if you do this there's not a great story for adding a second machine if the first one can't handle the load (but ofc a beefy machine with a

you're right, I probably could have saved some money by using Hertzner! But I'm used to using Digital Ocean, and most of my projects haven't had these scaling problems, and I think changing my stack ahead of launching the pro

Author here! Sorry that some of the stuff went over your head! I wanted to include longer descriptions of the tech I was using but the post was already suuuper long and I felt like I couldn't add more. Very happy to answer any question

I’m gonna share the raw data soon! Just have one more story about the site I need to tell first.

Thank you! I spent substantially more time on the writeup than I did on the site pre-launch, which is pretty funny to me

Ah I should have included this (I'll edit the post shortly) Think the total cost was about $850, which was (almost) matched by donations. I made a mistake and never really spun down any infrastructure after moving to go, and also could

oh I didn't even realize that C# was also a problem here - I was thinking about how web exports are (were?) pretty busted for Chromium-type browsers on Mac in Godot 4[1] due to some graphics backend stuff that I don't fully unders

Oh this is really cool! It also feels highly targeted at my interests (I worked professionally in OCaml for many years, now make games, and bounced off of Godot because I found GDScript really unpleasant to program in[1]). From looking thro

Have you played with Mario Builder 64? I did a game jam with it last month and found it really delightful. You're pretty restricted in what you can do - practically no coding, just pulling in components from the Mario 64 base game - bu

(post author here) If Recurse sounds fun and magical to you - it is! And you should consider applying :). You can always defer your acceptance until the timing works out. It's free (they make money via job placements, but when I applie

dev here, fun surprise to see this on the front page (I'm glad it's resonating! give the pico-8 a try!) happy to answer q's if anyone has one. I haven't built a full pico-8 game since this (my stuff got...weirder...[1])

I am very late to this but as of now I think it has cost me about $85, although that will go up a little more quickly once I go through the bandwidth buffer I have with digital ocean (shouldn't be too bad tho)

alright yes this sounds funny now but at the time my rate-limiting implementation was very slow!

Hi! Sorry it took me a bit to get to this, I've been hacking to keep the server up for the last several hours. Lots of people are botting, I don't think there's anything wrong if you bot too. There's a tiny bit of client

for future readers, i ended up swapping things out and batching my updates. spooky to do live, but helped a lot with performance

i spun up 5 more servers and pushed some optimizations and i think it's gonna be ok for a bit.

it's a tiny flask server, a bitset stored in redis, updates broadcast (too frequently! but i don't want to change it now) via websockets, and react-window to only render the checkboxes that are in view. I'll do a writeup when

huh! I tested in firefox and safari and it worked for me on both. maybe you're just running into the fact that the website is kinda dying right now?

(I made the site) this was on purpose! I figured there have been enough collaborative internet drawing experiences (with a locked canvas that was easy to draw on) that it'd be interesting to try something a little different and see wha
