Same-nation and same-decade bonuses make World 11 a real draft. Here is how chemistry sets up the tug of war between the obvious star and the player who fits.
Orchard Deck is a cozy collectathon with no purchases and no dark patterns. Here is how I paced an idle game with overlapping clocks so there is always one small thing worth doing, without ever nagging the player.
Ten arcade minigames inside Orchard Deck without turning it into a grind. Entry fees, payouts, once-per-day rewards, and level gating that keeps them optional.
Comparing Plausible and Fathom for solo developers. Two privacy-first analytics tools with similar pitches but different tradeoffs in pricing, features, and self-hosting.
Tauri gives you a small cross-platform desktop app with a Rust core and a native webview. The hard part is not the code, it is signing, notarization, and CI.
How I built breeding in Orchard Deck, where fusing two cards consumes both parents for a rarer child, and why the destructive cost is the point.
Why I run Melodex's multi-step AI music generation as a Temporal workflow instead of a hand-rolled queue, and when durable execution is overkill.
A deterministic, seeded simulation gave my draft game a daily challenge and shareable challenge links for free, with no backend at all. Here is how a single integer unlocks both.

How a single content engine scans Markdown-on-disk blogs and Postgres-backed blogs behind one pluggable scanner interface, driven by YAML config instead of code.

A three-part pattern for scheduling future-dated posts on a static site, keeping them out of the index and sitemap, and avoiding the orphan trap.
A tiny self-hosted Discord bot is a cheap always-on ops surface for a solo dev. Scope its cluster access read-only and render status as cards, not log walls.
Comparing PostHog and Plausible for solo developers. Full product analytics versus privacy-first page tracking. Features, pricing, and which to install.
I have no QA team, so I built a headless smoke suite in Godot that instances every scene, round trips saves, sweeps 300 battle seeds, and enumerates the slot odds.
How I matched the AI tool to the job to translate a blog into eleven languages at full parity, with a parity audit so scale could not silently break.
World 11 is a football game with no passing, shooting, or defending. You draft a team and watch the result. Here is why a game about betting instead of playing is so addictive, and how the draft loop works.
AI image generation is slow and async. Webhooks fail, so I run a reconciliation system that makes the backend converge to the right state on its own.
All of World 11's balance lives in data files. Tuning the difficulty means editing JSON and rerunning, never touching the simulation. Here is why that split matters.
Comparing Polar and Stripe for solo developers. Merchant-of-record billing for digital products versus the payments default. Fees, taxes, and which to pick.
I built a small content registry that scans every blog and verifies each post is actually reachable and in the sitemap, not just marked published in a row somewhere.

My scheduled jobs silently failed for two weeks because a token went empty. The fix was to run them as native k3s CronJobs on the node where the runner already lived.

Orchard Deck has six interlocking systems where every output feeds another input. Here is how I designed slots, orchard, museum, lab, breeding, and campaign to feel deep.
Comparing Better Auth and Lucia for solo developers. Batteries-included TypeScript auth versus a minimal session library. Which to pick in 2026 and why.
I wanted real footballer photos on the cards in my draft game, free-licensed only. The fetch was easy. Not shipping the philosopher Socrates instead of the footballer was the hard part. Here is the pipeline and the disambiguation fix.

Comparing Coolify and Dokploy for solo developers. Two self-hosted PaaS options that replace Vercel and Heroku. Features, polish, and which to install.
Orchard Deck is built around a slot machine, but there are no purchases and one in-game currency. Here is how I designed the odds to reward players without exploiting them.
How I added paid checkout to a SvelteKit app using Whop's embedded iframe, and why a verified server webhook, not the browser callback, grants access.

I'm juggling 5+ projects right now. Here's how I make progress on all of them without losing my mind. Focus, rotation, and ruthless prioritization.
You don't need a DevOps engineer to run production apps. Docker, a VPS, and some basic knowledge. Here's the solo developer's deployment playbook.
The free tools I actually use to build, deploy, and run products alone. From coding to hosting to automation, no subscription required.
AI coding assistants doubled my productivity. But only because I use them as partners, not replacements. Here's my approach to Claude Code and AI-assisted development.
I've been building alone for almost two years. Here's how I stay productive without destroying myself. Rest, boundaries, and knowing when to stop.
The exact tools I use to build, deploy, and market SaaS products as a solo developer. Django, React, Docker, Astro, and N8N for automation.
2026 is the year I turn side projects into real products. Monetize Apatero, ship mobile apps, master Go, and maybe land a backend role. Here's the plan.
My 2025 recap. New languages learned, projects shipped, servers compromised, interviews survived, and a vision for 2026. Here's everything that happened.
I'm building Rembiti, a birthday reminder app with contact notes and message templates. Also using it as an excuse to learn Go by building the backend from scratch.
My girlfriend and I love traveling together. We wanted an app to track everywhere we've been - not just countries, but cities too. So I'm building it myself.
Most productivity apps sell your data. I'm building a local-first Life OS with encryption, offline AI, and zero cloud dependency. Here's why and how.
