Love this! a testament to what can be done with pure JS no frameworks, how does the sync work? I'm assuming websockets for the transport layer, does the backend store the full state of the image being drawn or is it sort of p2p/client owned?

honestly this is fascinating to me, I was curious too and upon searching "RNG Supplier" I couldn't find anything, 3 supplies in the whole world is a crazy supply-side industry!

I was just curious to see what a landing page of a RNG supplier looked like, how do you even do sales for such a thing? With 3 players I guess it's just something you know in the industry and those partnerships are likely long-lived, right?

niches like this fascinate me for some reason!

I do wish more big products made use of existing local functionality the web has today. The only major player I can think of is Twitter and they don't store data, only UI so you can click around but can't actually read cached tweets.

If the mess generates $20m a year, that's great and I agree with you!

If the mess generated $20m last year and it's projected to generate $20m next year, that's a problem.

If the second case is true, I believe it's somewhat the responsibility of the OP to sell solving this long-term problem to the _rest of_ business. If they hired him as an expert in that area, they should listen to him.

If that fails, leave.

I've been long awaiting a Python equivalent of gofmt and prettier.js!

I have a dedicated machine from online.net that hosts a few services that would incur a monthly cost but self hosting helps save a bit of cash there. These are: GitLab for private projects (because I work with a team and per-seat costs multiply fast), Confluence and Jira for project management (again, team size scales the cost and a self-hosting license is only $20/yr).

As for actual SaaS: Backblaze personal, Adobe full suite ($400 per year I think, gives me everything I need for art/video projects), A password manager, and... that's it actually! No netflix, no google, no dropbox, I'll probably keep it this way.

Another one I came across recently was termui: https://github.com/gizak/termui

I avoid amazon search like the plague. All that ever pops up when I search for a product is cheap chinese knockoffs with round numbers of mysterious, broken english, 5 star reviews and one pixelated photo. Google, specialist sites or local places are where I'll always go for product search.
