Sorry to hear you had some problems. Can I ask what browser(s)/device you were using? Or what game you were playing? I have a few other exceptions/stacktraces to look into, any extra info would be helpful. Good idea with the pubs.

I'm open to people joining the business. At the moment, it is not open source.

I actually know these guys. Definitely give their platform a look!

I feel like a moron for never seeing this after 2.5 years :-D. Thanks for pointing it out! Maybe I'll make a cute animation of the contraction for a loading screen. I'll make sure to credit you.

It's been a part-time project since January 2023. I left my part-time job in July and started on this full-time in August after some vacation. Here's a recent blog post about going full-time: https://blog.gametje.com&#x

Did you have problems trying it out? I've been monitoring the metrics. Seems to be healthy but maybe I am missing something?

The frontend is written in Typescript/React (Vite) and the backend is Java + Spring Boot + Redis + Postgres. I'm using WebSockets for interactivity.

Author here, UI needs some work indeed. Given that I am a one man show and I'm mainly a backend developer, I did what I could. I've been trying to improve where I can. What makes you say it is LLM generated? I have used some AI fo

Working on https://gametje.com (a Jackbox games competitor). Been working on the Android TV app lately. Will probably start creating a new game next week with acronyms similar to the old game Acrophobia from the late 90s/ea

Took it (didn't go too well score-wise). Would be nice to have the units for each question on top. Or in the input boxes themselves. I was on mobile and had to scroll down to see it. Mixing raw numbers and units of billions was confusi

Looks interesting, I have one question about the pricing and a main button on the home screen, it says "Protect your family (free forever)" and yet there is a monthly fee (which makes sense of course). What does the free forever b

Looks nice but that's a pretty steep increase from free trial to the lowest tier of 2500/month. Is there really nothing in between? Like a pay as you use plan?

Really curious what makes you say this. Do you see the same thing in other languages? I've worked with many great Java devs over the years and think I'm halfway decent myself after working with it for 16+ years. Are there some ba

Something funky with your personal beats. It says your best 5k was in 35:35 but your best 10k was in 43:26. Not possible for those both to be true . I guess the 5k data is screwy since that is quite a slow 5k time. Edit: seems maybe tht 5k

Tried it with some Dutch, only getting "Unable to process correction" errors. Good idea but seems it need a bit more error handling.

A little presumptuous to say it is the world's "favorite" guessing game... But I had fun for a few words. It was nice you could press the enter key on mobile and keep the keyboard up. Are you thinking of doing a daily word? O

Works great, thanks for sharing. I had fun just playing around with it. Very responsive on my phone.

FYI seems like multiple typos in the GitHub description that shows at the top (not in the readme) Quoting it here: > Kexa's simple rules (Open Source) make it easy to monitoring and manage alerting of your entire cloud. With various

Definitely not cheap, but I assume developer cost and migrating to unreal is probably not cheap either. I'm not too familiar with either engine, are they similar enough that it's "cheaper" to migrate? I imagine that sets

Great read, especially liked the call-out of the Smash Bros aMSa video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WMBwFO65J4&t=11s and Baba is You.

Similar experience on Chrome (Android). Just sits there after making a choice. Is it overloaded?

Still working on https://gametje.com which is an alternative to Jackbox games. Currently have 5 available games (with a 6th behind signup + opt-in alpha tester flag). It's free to try as a guest for a few days before an acc

Tried it out on mobile and thought the site had broken the back button. Turned out to just be a history entry for every click/drag (which grows quite quickly). I found that quite off-putting but maybe that's a bit like an "un

I had the same experience, hitting back a couple times and refreshing the page allowed me to continue... But I imagine this would be a steep dropoff in engagement if you aren't taken back to the same page.

Loved it! I'm so so at chess but was able to get it in 3 tries. Nice execution with the UI.

Just tried clicking your website link (from the Netherlands) and Cloudflare blocked me. Not sure if you have any additional security set up but thought you should know.

Seems to be missing quite a few airports. Tried to look at flights from Amsterdam to Washington DC area and it couldn't find Dulles or Baltimore. Where is the list coming from?

I had fun with it. Got 6 in a row before moving on. I needed to use Google Maps to help me with the directional references. Might be nice to have it sync on a map with guesses and show the path as the user zooms in on the solution. Would be
