Probably not intentional, but the title is incomplete ("- this is how I get rid of it in minutes"). It does make the HN title incredibly funny for my twitter-rotten brain though.

One comment that I haven't seen yet and that puts PWA for Games in jeopardy: the maximum caching allowed for Safari PWA's (thus the whole iOS ecossystem) is only 50mb. Most mid-core / hardcore mobile games are bigger than that after downloading remote assets when the app loads for the first time, and this means a player of a mid-core PWA game would have to redownload a good chunk of the assets everytime the game loads.
I could be mistaken though, but I tried looking for how PWA's work with caching and it is a whole layer of uncertainties that depends on which browser/OS/ecosystem you are in, and if the user clears it's browser cache. In the end, it seems like PWA will only work reliably when the PWA is super light, and doesn't need a lot of caching, so for gaming that would mean only lightweight, casual and hypercasual games.
Arguably the most mature engine for building games for the web, Phaser (think Vampire Survivors), isn't even listed.
I wouldn't trust this list.
It is in the list though! The programming languages query was broken (should be fixed now), did that somewhat made you not find it? (Asking so I can improve the site UI)
I selected Java as programming language and got a lot of engines that are not usable in Java. But the two main Java engines, LWJGL & LibGDX, that are present in the database were not on the list.
My bad! Some of the queries broke from last time I was messing around the code. It should be fixed now!
Hey! Website creator here :)
I honestly wasn't expecting someone to post the link to the site here so soon (I posted earlier as ShowHN but it flopped a bit haha). I'm reading all feedback now!
EDIT: As some people posted here, language programming tags are getting wrong queries. I'm looking into it rn, but other tags should be working!
EDIT 2: Just fixed it, I made a Django query oopsie from last time I was fixing the queries. Thanks for the feedback!
The odd thing however is that when I ask them whether they think the average Finn is happy, they say absolutely not, but when I ask them whether they themselves are happy, most of the time I get a "oh this place is actually pretty great for weirdos like me, I just mean like, normal people would hate it here". But that's the thing: No one normal chooses to live in Finland!
If you ask a Finn, most people are actually quite harsh to the Finnish government, economy, etc - specially as of recent, since Finland now has one of the worst unemployment rate in EU. But lifestyle here is quite sober, everyone has hobbies and are quite dedicated to them. I guess the Sauna and Avanto culture are the main happiness drivers here, and tbh after experiencing it, I wouldn't change for anything else.
