Block game uninstalls on Steam, Epic & Riot Client

What it does

GamePinned is the only tool built specifically to block game uninstalls on Steam, Epic Games, and Riot Client. Every other solution either blocks the entire launcher or uses reboot-to-restore (like Deep Freeze), which breaks game updates. GamePinned locks game folders at the Windows file system level. Users can play, update, and patch normally, but cannot delete. Built for gaming cafes where a single 85GB re-download means hours of lost revenue.

    Block Sort, a mobile/PWA puzzle game without ads2024 · matthijsgroen.github.io · ▲20

    I like small puzzle games to play on my mobile, (because you can put them away easily as well). But I got really annoyed that a lot of them force feed you advertisements. To counter this I made my own puzzle game, as a progressive web app. This means you can install it on your mobile or desktop as an application, and play offline. After the game is offline ready, no requests should be outgoing except checking for updates of the game. So there is no tracking/reporting going on. This also means I rely on old fashion email to get feedback! The game is build in React + Typescript + Vite,…

    I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
