What it does
If you're a web developer with game dev dreams then this is for you. It's a well documented web app template you can use to build your own roguelike game. What's a roguelike? A turn-based RPG game where everything is randomly generated fresh each time.
Make your browser based roguelike
Have you ever wanted to make your own roguelike ? I made this template project with everything you need to get a head start on your own web browser based online roguelike RPG game using JavaScript and HTML . I've taken care of the annoying stuff so you can save hours of dev time and start with the groundwork of your roguelike game already laid. Things like title screens, menus, touch input, sound effects, mobile device testing and tileset graphics integration are already done for you. Included in the package is a minimal playable roguelike with source code, assets, sounds, screens, UI, and clear documentation to get you up and running quickly. There's also a series of screencasts showing…from chr15m.itch.io

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Almost eight years ago I launched an online “Linux sysadmin course for newbies” here at HN. It was a side-project that went well, but never generated enough money to allow me to fully commit to leaving the Day Job. After surviving the Big C, and getting made redundant I thought I might improve and relaunch it commercially – but my doctors are a pessimistic bunch, so it looked like I didn’t have the time. Instead, I rejigged/relaunched it via a Reddit forum this February as free and open - and have now gathered a team of helpers to ensure that it keeps going each month even after I can’t…
