Simple web app for kids to control a single Philips Hue light2023 · github.com · ▲9I got my 7-year-old daughter some Philips Hue lights strips for Christmas. Once installed, I realized it might not be a good idea to open up the entire HomeKit setup to her, but I did it anyway. Just two minutes later, the smoke alarm test went off! Happy holidays. A bit of research brought up some apps with "kid lock" features, but none felt simple enough to be kid-friendly. Fast forward a few days, and I just released a simple web app and server component.

After years of solo development I'm presenting: Angeldust, an omni-compatible action RPG and building game! Website: http://angeldu.st My single server hosts 250+K active players in one giant, dynamic fantasy world. Angeldust's game server is pervasively multithreaded, implementing John Carmack's dream of processing an immutable world state each tick. Both world handling and network traffic routing uses any number of threads. For networking, a typical game session only uses ~3Kbps of bandwidth, enabling decent play even over 2G/EDGE networks. The client is programmed in C++…
