I released ModularPro, a tool for the Unity game engine to massively improve the process of assembling modular assets during level design.

The biggest thing I have built this year is Hexadecimal ( https://tryhexadecimal.com ). It is my first SaaS business, so it is a pretty rough endeavor, both on the development and the business side. Built on the vanilla Rails stack. As boring as it could possibly get. I have described in some detail the tech behind it: https://runninginproduction.com/interviews/9-running-a-websi... Lessons learned: * If you'd like to…
