First game is https://geocentric.top where users can sculpt a planet collaboratively and place trees or houses (for now very limited). I plan on making it an idle sim where players will be able to interact by dropping some food/events for the creatures on it to evolve through time.
Second, a remote logger/metrics/user management tool where once can track all their logs, live metrics, uptimes, identify users, etc. I hope to have a v1 during this first quarter and I'm currently my first user as I have it hosted at https://app.getboringmetrics.com to centralize all my side projects into a single platform.
After using tools like Sentry on apps serving millions of users, I always felt I was missing a cheap and dead simple approach to following what happened in my apps and apis, and basically became my first customer for all of my side projects and even got some friends using it for their SaaS and apps.
If you ever have feedback/advices, don't hesitate to reach me out on contact[at]halftheopposite.dev and I'll happily answer.
So far I’ve put all the side projects I manage (5 of them) and it’s working great. I can follow and query the logs, the JSON payloads by path, see live metrics like number of users currently online, etc. Even if I don’t get any customers I’ll continue developing it for my own needs! Will soon be adding alerts through webhooks, slack, discord, etc.
If you want to try it out: https://app.getboringmetrics.com (no landing page yet).
Edit: just want to say that if you want to try the software but not keep it, you can create an account in under 10 seconds, send a curl request to see logs arrive in realtime, and delete your account in 5 seconds. I do not track anything and do not keep a single piece of data.
I am almost done with the landing page and don't think I'll put much more into it, and will continue working on the API itself. But I still plan on adding a playable game into the 3D scene just for the sake of it and to learn. But so far I'm struggling at projecting a 3D camera render to a texture inside an already existing 3D context.

Given the pricepoint and specs of the BeeLink, its availability for shipping in France, and the all-in-one design of the SER7 with USB-4, that seems like a great option to explore.
I will take a deeper look at their other offerings as well.
There's a feature to write a note and leave it on the page for others (with the extension installed) to see and maybe have luck someone contacting you.
https://github.com/halftheopposite/graph-dungeon-generator: what was supposed to be circular graph dungeon generator, ended up being a tree dungeon generator.
https://webcursors.click - I should have spent more time thinking about solving a problem that doesn't exist and clearly you can feel that there's something missing.
And didn't knew this service existed, so created everything myself so far.
Editing/deleting notes would require some sort of authentication for the backend to recognise ownership of the notes, but this could be a great incentive toward pushing users to sign up for the tool.
Will definitely look at scaling down font size for longer text (it should already be the case though but doesn't work well with long words or URLs).
Good luck if you ever attempt to build it :)
