It's not pretty....
But it works 💪
This is my simple content management system for my admin side.
I thought about using some sort of CMS, but ended up keeping it simple and making a simple layout.
Do you use a custom CMS? 🤔

All the games I've worked on since 2012 were nominated and won awards. So what's the common factor between them?

I love when websites do this. 🏆
Purchasing power parity is super important, and it's something I'd love to see more of.
It's also something I immediately added when it became available on Gumroad.

The Almanack of Naval Ravikant
Pretty great so far.

For your next project: Don't forget the numbers 👇
Most people overlook that marketing is a numbers game.
The question is:
How can you increase your conversions?
Ex:
1% CTR on your Bsky account
6% conversion on your landing page
$30 product
→ to make $3k, you'd need 100 sales
→ 1670 views on LP
→ 167k views on Bsky

Hire real designers
Automated tools for logo generation are still impressively bad—particularly when you have specific instructions.
Anyone have advice or products to recommend?

I'm looking for a new book on Marketing that isn't the typical "top 10" list.
(more towards Solo devs/tiny companies)
What's a hidden gem you've read that you'd recommend?👇

Seems like (mostly) everyone is quite enjoying #2XKO . Happy to see that!
Not many f2p fighting games going around.
If you got an extra invite code, I'd appreciate it 🔥

I've been reading many good books. 👇
- What Moves the Dead + What Feasts At Night
- Children of The Nameless

- All Systems Red
Also tried some "top" picks like Home Is Where the Bodies Are. Very disappointing, can't recommend.
Any recs?

Just started using Context7 MCP Server, looks VERY promising.
Especially for Rails (actually finding the correct version and up to date docs)
