#53I am working on "Free Hero Mesh" project (but it is not written in Python or Java). It is a puzzle game engine, and is FOSS. Things that I can use help with are including (but not necessarily limited to): - Promotion of project - Testing - Bug reports and feature requests - If you are interested to make something with this - Porting and distributions - Patches to the code, if necessary - Maybe someone has idea to imp…

That's ten requests per second, with some caching I am assuming. How abou a digital ocean droplet for $5/month?

#57http://random-character.com It generates characters from tropes, weighted by the popularity of those tropes. Which was a nice experiment, but it's probably not the future direction. This is something with a lot of iteration. Procedurally generated stories and backgrounds. Letting users input a character and using the tool to shape the character around it. Relationship graphs to other characters. AI will be in use, bu…
I really like this idea! I feel like you could have the character mapping and input be geared towards writers for a story documentation tool as a UI and framework for the generated content would be in what a writer would need. Then offer as much or as little generator access as the user wants. For that generated content, I do a lot of character creation in a completely different context than writing/D&D, and I would…
Thanks for the feedback. I might just pivot straight into that. I was dragging my feet on it because I didn't get much people interested in that, but only because my only communication medium is the survey.

Netlify free tier + Cloudflare CDN (if requests are cacheable). https://www.netlify.com/pricing/ https://www.cloudflare.com/plans
Thanks. Something I missed is that the JSON is gonna be updated every 1 minute. I've never tried netlify or vercel, I've been told that the 1 min updates are a problem in platforms like that. I'm an nginx kind of guy but I'm helping an org that has no budget whatsoever and I'm exploring options.
Another option is to use something like Firebase:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting
The free tier gives you 2M cloud functions per month, then $0.40 for each additional million cloud function invocations:

Update latency is a few hundred milliseconds which should be sufficient if you are sending updates every minute:

Just be aware that if your JSON payload is large, then you might consume all the egress bandwidth and it might end up costing more than you expect.
There are also alternative platforms which provide similar functionality (I have not used either of these though, so YMMV):

That’s super cool! Earlier this week I was getting frustrated with NetworkX and started wondering: “what’s the easiest way I run proper graph queries on this in-memory dataset?” This seems like a reasonable option, will add it to my list to try out.
So I doubt it would handle a challenging query! It only supports the bare essentials.
