About tlh

I run a local hackathon in Portsmouth (UK). If you're a software developer, engineer or designer then check out when the next event is at https://hackpompey.co.uk. I'd love to see you there!

I also created https://thehackathoncalendar.com to easily find upcoming hackathons.

I also created https://www.osomatsu.net to easily write and share food recipes.

    After burning porridge in a titanium pot for the second time, I found this piece to be very helpful and informative and wish I’d read it before!

    It can be a slog to build and release a game like this, so well done on getting it out! Personally, I think it’s quite well polished UI wise. UX wise I guess keyboard input as othe…

    Really love this, kudos for making it! Can listen to the Sonic 2 soundtrack on loop for hours. Just a note to say that on MacOS Safari none of the icons or fonts seem to want to lo…
