   I travelled the world for 13 months with my partner and our two daughters (4 and 6 when we left) in 2017/2018. We talk about our experiences on that trip all of the time. We didn't work at that time, unless you count being an amat

   I would say similar to the startup world, it is going to be hit or miss (mostly miss). The potential is in being part of a small team (<10) that ships a game netting tens of millions of dollars in revenue. There are also a small handful

    Thank you everyone for your feedback! You're right in that load times were abysmal. I have since removed the Product Hunt-like popup modal on the landing page. While I personally enjoyed the aesthetic and UX, my no-code pop-up was load
