Kent is a great resource in the frontend community, giving a way tons of content for free, including several very popular open spurce libs. Nor sure why you’re being so negative towards somebody you obviously don’t know
Wow that was super cool to follow from beginning to end. I’ve always wanted to create art this way, perhaps with a physical user interface to tweak its parameters
We saw a steady flow of traffic all through last year on a few .christmas domains from last year's advent calendars.
I don't think they seem stale, but perhaps out of season Either way, we're committed to keep this content online for the foreseeable future, and write a new edition next year if people find it interesting.
Kotlin seems to have a lot of the tooling required to make games pretty quickly. That's not to say it's not a massive undertaking! The demo at the bottom is just mindblowing

I think their move to monetize by providing paid products like premium themes and support services can be an interesting approach for open source in general. I'd rather pay for something extra, than pay for the generic open source product
