A massively multiplayer game with a fresh start every time, that's easy to learn and easy to start having fun, doesn't guilt you into playing (healthy long-term relationship with the player), and has lots of replay value: http://vnav.io Currently there are multiple major bugs with damage.

Love to know the tech behind this. Please share!

It's made with a custom-built high-performance immediate-mode Canvas2D rendering engine. It's written in a high-performance dialect of JavaScript, we've benchmarked most lines to know the fastest way to write it. The server is built in Node.js. We may open-source it (under GPLv3) later, but it is a difficult decision, as it makes it easier to make competitors.

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. https://www.devtoagency.com

I tried to dm you, but you disabled dm on twitter. Somehow we have almost same path, running an agency at the moment with 9 ppl :-)

https://documentation.page/ A documentation website generator for open source. No need to pollute your Github repo with html+css+etc etc files, just write markdown and point your domain there and it'll render it.

Judging by the sidebar navigation on Statux I'm guessing you're using a Mac?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I remember trying to compare these before (but not what I ended up thinking), so maybe it's better if I just explain what it does: When you change your "context", all of your open apps and their windows (on all spaces, on all screens) are closed. The apps and their windows from the context you are switching to open – their positions and working state recalled from when you were last in this context. You can only be i…

That makes it worse than KDE virtual desktops or activities.

Or, you know, different.

Virtual desktops (which is the same as spaces in macOS), has nothing to do with Cleave in itself; you still have virtual desktops under Cleave.

I don't know what problem activities attempt to solve, but the problem I'm trying to solve with Cleave is grouping what's currently running on my system after a specific task or a project I'm working on – both for human reasons (concentration, information overload, etc.) and computer reasons (resource expenditure, etc.)

Similar, not as polished obviously. Also not in the cloud, the loaded data stays within the browser, all the transformations happen in browser. Primarily because I'd prefer more people to have that option. Not sure if anyone cares though...

in browser (staying local) would be a requirement for my usage where i have export restrictions on my verbal communication, let alone what i am allowed to send to someone else.

Well if this sort of tool is of interest to you, would love to have a chat =)... My email is in my profile =)...

I built a map that tried capturing all the programming languages. It's about 700-1000 of them.

https://github.com/PhilosAccounting/langmap

My reasoning is that there's plenty of looking forward, but lots of rework from not observing history. The map is an ambitious attempt to capture everything. It's amazing how arcane some stuff gets in 40 short years!

I'm also rather discouraged about how much work it's taking given my present technical acumen, so anyone is free to hijack all my data and make something better than I can.

https://ulysses.sonnet.io -- It's a "text input" tool I built to develop a daily writing habit and reduce stress. It makes editing text really hard so you can focus on writing first: https://sonnet.io/posts/ulysses/ So far I'm doing 800-1000 words per day on average so I'm pretty happy with it! My fluency has improved drastically. TODO: - I need to change the name because Ulysses is a well known writing app. (I think…

Ulysses is really beautiful, no distractions and just a natural flow. As a name, maybe Ensō?

Hm, that's a good idea, and it fits so well with the goal of the app, cheers!

Just contemplating doc solutions for the open source repo I maintain (5K+ stars). Would be happy to use https://documentation.page/ . Ping me at my email / twitter (details in my profile).

Thanks!
