SimDrive – a browser racing game with your phone as the controller:D
Games in general and multiplayer games have been a big part of what my friends do together (not just digital; sports, board + card games) And it moved to online games as more of us moved to other places and party games became our go-to Love jackbox and gaming couch (that I discovered here on HN) I saw the vibej.am for this year and I couldn't think of a good enough idea till about the 3rd week but here I am! This is a game made for me and my friends and it's also very inspired by what I thought the PS3 6-axis controller would be when I first heart about it Thanks for reading this and I hope…
In plain words
SimDrive is a browser-based racing game designed for multiplayer parties where players use their smartphones as motion controllers. Up to eight players can compete together using split-screen or separate screens with a room code. The game features various vehicles including F1 cars, go-karts, trucks, and tuk tuks, with simulation elements integrated throughout. It's built as a couch multiplayer experience for friends playing together locally or remotely.

This is a game made for me and my friends and it's also very inspired by what I thought the PS3 6-axis controller would be when I first heart about it Thanks for reading this and I hope you and your friends enjoy playing You can play either split screen or on separate screens with the room code or even have two split screens play too (max 8 players for now) It started with F1 cars but working on go-karts, trucks and tuk tuks :D I've tried to include a lot of "simulation" in the game. There's decent physics that include down force, grip etc and it even changes with/without the rain Ideally you have an android+chrome phone so you can "feel" your driving with vibrations/haptics but otherwise you'll have just sound as feedback Oops long post, bye

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.
