Been developing this for many years already, but this year I hope to go to some state where I could rival RPG Maker and all the likes.

#402Here's a fairly polished single player time-based word game I've been working on (works on mobile and desktop): https://seanwilson.itch.io/wordoid Looking at adding a global high score table (nobody is using the quick feature I added to share your score on Twitter), it might need more hints on what the orange tiles do for your scoring (I'm hoping players naturally work this out), I might tweak the rules more to encou…

#403The add-on runs primarily in Google's Apps Script environment which is essentially like Lambda/Cloud Functions although it's been around for way longer. In terms of the tech stack the frontend is a fairly simple Vue app and the backend is written in TypeScript. Apps Script is quite restrictive in terms of some of the quotas and limitations they apply so over time I've moved some of the logic and data out into Firestore and Cloud Functions.
You can install it for free on the marketplace: https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/check_sheet_not...

#404The idea is to make creating & publishing content a bit simpler. The possibilities in the space are endless, but I started with an "automatic image finder". The way this works is that you just copy-paste your article/text or just provide an URL to already existing one and the tool will automatically recommend images that you can use in the article based on the context (currently from Unsplash).

#405Code Reading Club: https://codereading.club The idea of this project is to make a small, cozy kind of “book club for code” that enables club members to study and discuss the architecture/structure of open source code. I wanted it to be both a way to study others’ work as a means of developing more intuition about how to structure software, as well as a creative exploration and discussion of code as art. I know the UI…
Reading source code with some guidance from more experienced developers sounds similarly useful.

I started this project many years ago, but I still consider it "half baked" because it not nearly what I think it should be. Turns out, building reliable and accurate finance tools is not easy.
The idea originally came from when my friends and I would exchange details on holding, returns, winners, losers, etc. If you're an active investor and have friends who are too, chances are you've asked the same questions.

#408Open source SVG/HTML/CSS/JavaScript (no frameworks) project for playing Tabletop RPGs (D&D et al) online.
It started out as just a dice-roller, but since it's so easy to nest whatever SVG thingamagic you like into it, it's been expanded to do card decks, tokens, and a thing I'm calling "Dynamic Trays".
Dynamic Trays do the gruntwork of RPG calculations. Sums, tabulations, even "exploding dice".
There's still a lot to do, every time I add a feature I think of two possible new ones. I've got to say, SVG is *really* nice. I think many developers would have the first instinct to do this in an HTML Canvas tag, but SVG does so much heavy lifting for you.
