Was reticent to post my game on here but it looks like I wouldn't actually be alone which is nice! I've been building an eldritch horror peggle survivors-like (genres are fluid ok), which has been on a bit of a mad journey from beginning as some sort of bloodbowl flavoured subbuteo, to a gravity well air hockey game, to what is now known as Disciple where you feed a hungering Abyss-god by launching yourself into it and collecting enough essence on the way down to make sure it lets you live for another go. There's builds and esoteric shops and different map biomes and enemies etc. I think its a lot of fun.

Twitter, sorry X, weirdly has a really nice and welcoming game dev community so I've mostly been posting about it over there where you can check out progress posts: https://x.com/AngryGoblinDev

I'm building the easiest way to start your own high-quality blog: https://github.com/BryanHogan/astro-starter-template

Astro is a framework that uses no JavaScript by default. I also use just HTML and CSS, so no bloated additional frameworks or styling libraries.

All blog content is written as Markdown or .mdx files, so it's easy to write and move to any other tool if you wish to do so.

You can host it for free using any major provider since it's just a static website (e.g., GitHub Pages, Cloudflare, etc.).

Making it similar to my own website which is on: https://bryanhogan.com/

Making legacy 20+ years Java Swing apps run inside a Browser using WASM and JS glue code with CheerpJ/OpenJDK runtime. WASM has a bright future for running native apps. Both WASM and JVM are stack machines. WASM beats on startup speed and memory footprint. But performs bad on compute. Since WASM lacks networking sockets, JDBC is broken.

I work on a suite of open source public transit software projects, collectively called OneBusAway (or OBA). The software is used by millions of transit riders every day around the world, including in New York City, the Seattle area, San Diego, and Washington, D.C. Through the non-profit that collectively owns OBA, I've been working on a managed services offering to help transit agencies adopt the software, which has…

Hi, what's the best way to get involved is by just keep contributing or do I need to apply on the OSS volunteers form first.

I've built this website which shows the land registry data (Kadaster) information of The Netherlands but with nice vector graphics and much more performant than other websites I found: https://kadaster.club

Turns out there's an incredible organization here (of course) that publishes many geospatial datasets: https://www.pdok.nl
