hi@n1c.dev
Battlefield 6 are trying to bring something like this back with Portal (https://portal.battlefield.com).
You can write "experiences" in TypeScript then host your own server that people can join without having to download/install a mod themselves.
If you like the idea of a small "dumbish" camera but aren't fussed about all the ZK proof stuff these are quite fun: https://www.campsnapphoto.com/collections/camp-snap-screen-f... I have a few and letting my small kid have a blast while not getting "screen time" is great.
Side effect is I get a small little window into what he "sees" and his lived experience. Going through some of the pics recently was quite beautiful.
I mentioned https://pageday.org last month, still keen to get it going as a slow burner.
Also been doing small little prototypes with cursor/claude for a game I'd love to tinker on more.
https://prototype-actions.prefire.app/
https://prototype-fov.prefire.app/
It's quite an interesting process to vibe code game stuff where I have a vague concept of how to achieve things but no experience/muscle memory with three.js & friends.
Yeah that's a good question, and something we haven't codified.
Odds are that we'll curate quite heavily to keep it interesting and maybe along similar guidelines to hn with "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity" rather than just "anything".
Inspired by a friend getting a random email and it sparking a memory for me: https://pageday.org, a global message lottery where each day a random message is drawn to be the homepage.
This is great well done! I was literally chatting to an llm about what it'd take to make something just like this on the weekend :)
Tinkering with a platform for people who're interested in doing analysis/visualisation of data from professional Counter Strike games.
i.e. instead of them having to download demos, extract them, parse them and then only query data. I want to just have a database available so they get to skip all those steps.
Not gonna make me rich but if I can get it to cover it's own costs I'll be stoked.

Sorry if this is unsolicited feedback, but reading:
Conduct your most crispest and productive 1 : 1s
Feels awkward to me.
Conduct the most crisp and productive 1:1s
Could be more organic?
Only TF2? Or do you also do other markets like CS?
I'm curious to know how much actual knowledge about the game makes compared to just being a good "trader"?
There's some _interesting_ issues being created: https://github.com/lnmangione/Halite-III/issues
There's an interesting dynamic because of the domains, I originally registered with `n1c.bsky.social` because like you say whether I intended to use the service or not it's nice to lock in the name. But then the next level is that it's actually more valuable or makes more sense for me to use it as `n1c.dev` as it's more closely tied to "me".
I am kinda sad that now someone else who isn't me is n1c.bsky but so be it.
Your backslashes should be forward slashes in the url: https://www.coolweird.net/
I've also had this idea in the back of my mind. A few weeks I ago downloaded the official Github client without really thinking, on the assumption that obviously that's what it would do. Only to be sorely disappointed.
Good luck, I look forward to this existing!
I started a Slack community for the South African tech scene [1] that turns 10 in January so I've been pondering my successes and failures there, as well as what it's future holds.
This looks rad, and interesting to see you have a lot of CS in the examples. I'm assuming this is because you get to just grab a ton of data from demos rather than trying to get integrations?
That sounds cool, I'm also tinkering away on CS inspired things. lmk if you'd be keen to share notes.
This sounds fun! Every now and then I re-start a similar project, but where you just write 3 words at a time in a story :)
I'm tinkering away on a turn-based web game that will ideally mix Counter-Strike with something like Door Kickers / Frozen Synapse etc.
Ideally a way to let people lay out strategies and see them executed by a team, go on - prove you're the best IGL!
It's slow going between a full time job and family life but really great to expand my mind into something that isn't "web dev".

Doubt it. For many years now I've had really great PHP/Laravel jobs.
https://teamtime.n1c.dev/ : Simple app where you can add your team members + timezones to view their local times. (half baked because I imagined it being a menu-bar app)
https://atlas.n1c.dev : Map of youtube walking videos (half baked because there's a lot of content still to add and it's kind of mvp-ui)
Wow, 1 million people lived in London in the 1800s!
Are there any good books / content on what day to day life was like for people in those times in London specifically?
This is great, thanks for the link!
Yeah or use "unofficial apis" e.g. Nitter (https://github.com/zedeus/nitter)
This is quite hard to answer in any succinct way. It mostly comes down to "you're earning enough to just get around them".
SA is kind of a place of extremes, there is extreme poverty, unemployment etc. But if you're lucky enough to have a good job you get Uber Eats, Netflix, 200mb fibre to your house etc.
* Tool that creates Twitter (X?) / Instagram feeds to RSS so I don't have to deal with algorithms etc.
* A turn based game that is essentially "football manager for counter strike" where you control the whole team and their actions in "planning" and "execution" phases.
* I run a Slack community for the South African tech scene, constantly hovering between "I wish I could sell this and move on" and "I really should put in the effort to monetise / grow this".
There's probably some interesting bits of info in yesterday's Nitter thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36665406
While I also want to believe that everyone gets to where they're going via Google, I'm squatting a domain for a really popular site in an esports niche I follow as a little experiment to test the hypothesis... apparently according to Cloudflare it's served 562 Unique Visitors / 2.58k Total Requests in the last 30 days.
