Cool, the biggest issue for me when I was trying to do the same thing (turn my beefy PC to a "gaming console") was the ability to turn it on with gamepad. I've spent a lot of time researching it and have not found a reliable solution.

Learning wise there is no advantage, but for it to be actually useful for people that's a better option imo.

How about pets.txt? My cat contributes a lot to my wellbeing so it was a tremendous help while building a website, I am sure people would like to know it.

Who made this must be really proud of themselves and believed they did a good thing. As we all know, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions"

"Correct" my ass

What is "next gen" in this implementation? Chrome support?

IMO the hardest things in distributed crawling at scale are a good URL frontier, priorities, rate limiting and things like that, which are quite often overlooked.

Boneworks has very impressive physics and interactons, it is even advertised as "Experimental Physics VR Adventure."

Sad state of JS frontend. Overcomplicating things is the first thought that we have now, then we think about the requirements.

Just curiosity, have you made any $ through donations? I consider doing full time open source development in similar niche (game servers, twitch related tools). Searching now for success stories. Hope to make a little cash via donations but not going paid/closed software model.

Then there's the entertainment aspect: What's wrong with "wasting" time if you're enjoying yourself?

About the entertainment aspect. I think the point here is following: modern web media/pics/etc is too attractive and people can't focus on things what really matter. Every website with "funny cats" tries very hard to retain you as user and your attention -> entertain you more. I think many people (myself included) fall in risk group and can't actually measure/control time spent on procrastination while browsing infinite number of subreddits or something for interesting stuff. Even when i really need things to be done - there is something that can immediately capture my attention. And I have to say I am not alone.

The root cause here is inability to focus on important things and finally quit procrastination.
