I wanted to play around with websockets last year, so I started out by building out a prototype multiuser whiteboard in a few hours one weekend. From that, I decided it'd be cool to turn it into a game, so I built out a drawing/guessing game from there and got it up on a domain I'd been sitting on for a while ( https://www.multiplayer.com.au/ ) It's got some mild polish on it now, but there's still a lot of scenarios…

Playing it right now, this isn't nearly half-baked, it's amazing and super fun!

https://wheelcarnival.com/ has been on my TODO list for almost a year. I created it to learn Vue, initially I used Gridsome but then I decide to use Nuxt. I also moved it from Netlify to Firebase to add storing+auth, so people can create custom wheels. It's getting a decent amount of visits so it will be wise to finish it, but it's not fun anymore and my day job takes a lot of energy.

I made https://dvd.js.org?names=sushi,tacos,pizza as a silly thing for stuff like this last year too

I started out as a software engineer, but have spent the 8 years building and running a custom software development agency, which was acquired last year by a larger company.

I am now looking to help developers who want to start a software agency themselves, so have created Dev to Agency where I am writing about the lessons and insights I learned.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Online Anonymity https://github.com/AnonymousPlanet/thgtoa (Please don't be too harsh as it's still a draft but any opinion, criticism or help would be welcome)

awesome: https://github.com/AnonymousPlanet/thgtoa/blob/main/CODE_OF_...

Unfortunately, a more robustly social-justice-informed code of conduct is a requirement to be supported by (and receive funding from) some big players in the online privacy/security community.

On a completely unrelated note not at all related to the above paragraph, ask me if you need any help with the Whonix sections.

Thanks! It's definitely playable, but there's still a lot of room for improvement and a few pesky bugs that you definitely notice the longer you play.

For example, only shortly after I posted here and all the current players had guessed correctly except for one person, then that person left, the game waited the extra 60 seconds for the round to time out instead of immediately because everyone left had answered it.

Then there's things like the scoring system, game-generated hints, and all that little stuff that needs definite improvement... they mostly work at the moment, but they're, well... crap haha

I am currently working on my screenshot API SaaS. This project running on VM (like EC2) as opposed to most similar SaaS running in AWS lambda. I going to move to dedicated server for better performance. The project is working but I still need improve marketing site, multiple regions support, CDN caching, migrate to dedicated servers, billing, etc.

If you sign up now, you basically getting all features for free and without restrictions!

I'm working on detailed 3d visualizations of streets using WebXR (A-Frame and three.js). Still "half baked" :) Repo: https://kfarr.github.io/3dstreet/ Example use case: https://17thpreso.glitch.me/ Traffic signals WIP: https://aframe-ped-signals.glitch.me/ Would love to collaborate esp. with those interested in learning 3d web dev, urban planning, etc.

Nice demo. I noticed some small things you could improve for when you are going to do a real demo. The shader of white houses the first link do not look right on my machine https://imgur.com/uo6ajXj.png It looks a it like z-fighting and a bit like a shader error. the error is on both firefox and chromium, I only get some .drawMode has been removed. errors in the console. The second link took 20 seconds to load and wa…

Correct all around. Lots of room for optimization.

You might post on the IETF JSON and CBOR lists for feedback, help, and additional use-cases and considerations. They're a focal point for likeminded people, including implementors and users who have experience with common usage issues, upgradability, implementation simplicity, and other concerns related to human and machine-readable data interchange formats.
