The games seem fun, and your beta site looks fantastic. I'm always awed and humbled by folks who have the vision & spend the time to create something like this.

Thanks! Still early days but it's been fun building. Happy to help if you ever want to try making something with it

Thanks for sharing this, I'm really enjoying the style and you've clarified some concepts in a clear way.

Thank you!

Becky Chambers - A Psalm for the Wild-Built

Her books are like a mug of hot chocolate after a long day out in the cold. And I need a lot of hot chocolate these days.

Becky Chambers is amazing. If you haven't read her books and you like sci-fi, drop everything and read them now.

Listened to all your releases, really enjoyed them! Curious to see whether/what you'll do with Bitwig, Poly Grid is insane but I personally I still prefer hardware.

thanks! some of the older stuff is.... old, not very good :) but thanks for dropping by and listening.

My favourite feature is burp mode: https://kaboomjs.com/play?example=burp

Thanks so much for sharing this, deeply impactful.

All of the games made by them are really awesome I highly recommend

How long were you building your audience before releasing the course? (I ask this with respect, building an audience is hard.)

It is! And especially when you’re the dev type and not necessarily a natural at promoting yourself…

Building the audience took about a year and a half. But what made it easier is that I didn’t set out to build it just to sell the course, it was mostly a byproduct of trying to form connections and get more awareness for my startup. Then the course was just a way to capitalize on it even more.

Thanks for the details, sounds like a right way to do it, congrats!

Spring Boot + Hilla (https://hilla.dev) + PostgreSQL, deployed on a Digital Ocean VM, possibly behind CloudFlare.

Their Oracle compatibility is still a thing, at least commercially: https://www.enterprisedb.com/products/edb-postgres-advanced-...
