Sweet! Does anyone have a list of high-quality open source games like this?

(Subjective interpretation, but something like, "I couldn't believe it's free, I would have paid for it anyway.")

Maybe I'm old, but I only recently started using Gemini to assist me in coding. Now it seems everyone is heading to giving agents to do the full-blown coding. I guess if the result code is good, it doesn't matter who's coding (me or AI).

But are they affordable already for developers who don't earn a Silicon Valley salary? Developers in 3rd world countries?

"We think of it as the spiritual successor to WordPress. It’s written entirely in TypeScript" — A major reason why WP is popular is that it's PHP-based and works with shared hosting.

Will EmDash work with shared hosting?

Sounds like Altered Carbon (tv series).

Compile it to native (GraalVM) and you can get it fast while consuming less memory. But now your build is slow :)

I can see that majority of response is negative, being mobile developer myself I can understand.

What's the solution for 3rd world countries where 80% phones are android (and usually old/low spec) that balances freedom for knowledgeable users vs security/safety for the majority of users? you can roughly understand education level and tech literacy for the majority of people in 3rd world countries.

I'm thinking of giving "voice" to my virtual pets (think Pokemon but less than a dozen). The pets are made up animals but based on real animal, like Mouseier from Mouse (something like that). Is this possible?

Tldr: generate human-like voice based on animal sound. Anyway maybe it doesn't make sense.

Won't the market fill the gap? For example, in Indonesia, "standard size" houses are mostly out of reach for new buyers (young generations), so they build houses farther away and/or smaller.

I tried the Cart Recovery demo, pretty slick! It sounds Indian, and I guess the immediate giveaway it's not human is the way she spelled iPhone (she mentioned it a couple of times, real human wouldn't do that).

Not sure how the voice compares with "generic" solution e.g. from Google. Can those generic solutions sound like a "local"? E.g. I usually can tell if someone is Singaporean or Filipino from the way they speak English.

So I guess this is a double-edged test.

The QR code doesn't open a link. It's just "gibberish" text only usable by app that can understand it (e.g. banking apps).

(I don't know anything about UPI, but in Indonesia we use a similar system)

From my experience, query param is usually optional, also `?foo=1&bar=2` and `?bar=2&foo=1` should open the same page.

New comment by wiradikusuma in "What I Learned After Building 3 TV Apps Coming from Mobile"

wiradikusuma — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 14:36:51 +0000

Another thing is lead time. I built an app (https://signagesync.app/) to "multi-chromecast" websites and videos to Android TV, macOS, Windows and hopefully Samsung TV as well.

"Hopefully", because it took me literally 2 months waiting for the reviewer to test my app after it's submitted (to be fair, they did say "expect 6-8 weeks" upfront). They found some issues (crashes), so it was rejected, but I lost interest in resubmitting.
