Who.

Asked.

Yes!!! These are great suggestions.

I was telling someone else how I missed the boat by not calling the app "Spelling Bee". :)

To the person from San Francisco who visited my site at "/hey-look-at-me-im-a-douchebag-is-what-this": I hope you have a nice day, and you chill out.

Welcome!

Yup, my bad. The Algolia search on HN defaults to "Popularity", and the 2024 version from earlier was 20+ links down on the page.

So I missed it. And I don't read so good.

Sigh.

Buuuut, it seems like we're getting different people sharing their side projects, so that's a win!!

That's awesome!

I wonder if you could make this an API you could sell to devs/businesses? It's a different customer, but maybe something you could expand into.

Thanks for sharing the details!

Nice! I thought about doing this at some point. Did you have to run ads, do SEO or anything to start to get traffic?

Nice! What's your tech stack here?

NodeJS, React, Postgres (for accounts), uWebSockets and Phaser

Nice!!

I've been thinking about doing an iOS app for awhile now.

Does this have a backend of some kind? What's your tech stack? All SwiftUI, or Expo/React Native?

All SwiftUI, it is built within Apple's iCloud ecosystem using core data. It's a great way to get an app up and running with sync very quickly, but then you are stuck on Apple's platform.

Wow, search failed me. I did not see this. :(

well apparently neither did anyone else because out of more than 160 users that wrote comments only three!!! users were commenting on both submissions. (four if you count this post of mine now)

maybe this should be posted more often?
