Thank you, I'm glad to get validation from someone directly involved with recruitment!

I think a lot of people overlook how important it is to account for people doing recruitment related tasks. Scalability and simplicity really shine for that.

Not dsiddharth, but for what it's worth I am using Hathora for my upcoming game (it's almost complete!). Their product still very new, but they have been extremely helpful with every step of the process building with Hathora.

They have two products - an open-source dev framework (free) and a cloud-hosting product (paid).

My games will likely never reach millions players, but my first two games led to over 1,000 sign-ups and I've made over $1k in revenue (which I'm super proud of). I can report back with how my newest game does after it launches.

That's really cool - possible to llshow the two games that you've built already with Hathora?

My first two games were built with my own hacky web sockets implementation. From a software perspective it's pretty messy, but it gets the job done haha.

I actually had built an alpha version of my 3rd game with my own networking code, but because it is more of a real-time game, there were tons of bugs. Switching to use Hathora for the back-end logic has made the game much more stable so I can finally work to release the game.

You can check out my first two games here: https://gomobo.app/. They play kind of similar to Jackbox games, but with more strategy board game elements. Would love to hear what you think!

I’ve gotten to know Harsh and we even built a game together with Hathora. We made a digital board game together in a week.

I’m a dev that makes web games (gomobo.app) but I’ve always wanted to spend more time building the game logic and UI and less on the networking and infrastructure stuff. I think Hathora is a great way to make your next game idea wayyy faster.

Thanks Justin!

I was looking for something like this, thanks for sharing!

Can I ask how you are sourcing/populating your data?

Glad to hear! The data's pretty scattered which is why I wanted to build this in the first place. Right now, the site uses a combo of VC sites, crunchbase, linkedin, company career pages etc.

It's a one-time payment for all games. And only one player needs to own the game in order to host and play with anyone.

Games are priced between $8-12. Once I release my third game I am going to sell my games as a bundle (similar to Jackbox Party Packs)

I feel like it has the Streisand Effect[1] on me and I often end up reading them. If anything because of a morbid curiosity haha.

Isn't that a bit overly pedantic? I agree that some of these examples are far-from passive, but this wouldn't be much of a thread if everyone just listed some form of passive investing. I think the heart of this thread is near-passive income sources, like 1-2 hours per week.

This is great, my main use case for my Paperwhite is to read in bed with the other lights off. A warmer yellow light would make it a lot nicer for that.

I feel like having a meme generator as a tool at work is just a bad idea for even mid-sized companies, let alone a company of Google's size.

Someone's pursuit for laughs will inevitably lead to some people feeling offended or hurt.

Between the lines they also say that employees spend too much time in divisive discussions.

Additionally they seem to want to compartmentalize content. Allowing people to continue to talk about everything and a wellness alternative.

I don't think it will work, because the wellness crowd will try to break into other groups at some point.

I am personally fine with my current phone speeds. I even use my phone as a hotspot for my laptop when I do coding at the park.

Curious what the bottlenecks for people are that make them want 5G so urgently?

Our phones can't upload all the user data they could collect.

Our phones can't download the all the ads that could be sent to them fast enough.

For one, many people don’t have data fast and low-latency enough to make hotspot usage a good enough experience.

It isn't just Signal, but Network Capacity.
