Here's mine! https://skeoh.com/othello/
It's not nearly as polished but I had a lot of fun making it. It uses React and the now-no-longer-maintained https://boardgame.io/.

Uses the screen wake lock API if available (or falls back to a hidden video file if unavailable) to keep your screen awake. It's cross platform, zero-install tool with offline support which I use to keep my work laptop awake all day.
The proportions have changed. Compare e.g.: https://news.ycombinator.com/favicon.ico
EDIT: since we're code golfing/bikeshedding, here's my own attempt, which matches the original proportions [1].

Golfing SVG happens to be one of my passions. Your path definition can be further reduced to
m57 47h15l24 50 24-50h15l-33 62v40h-12v-40zWithout RedReader I would not use Reddit. It's understandable that they would want to capitalize off third-party app users -- this approach is pretty disappointing though. Been on the site over 15 years but looks like things are coming to an end.
Short of building my own using this API, does a self-hosted Codesandbox/Stackblitz alternative exist? I love the idea of spinning up web containers within my corporate network so I can prototype applications using internal APIs.

Super cool and congrats on shipping! Something I'd love to see is the ability to embed a document on other sites via iframes a la GitHub Gist embeds. That way I could, say, write a blog post describing an algorithm, embed an example of the calculations, and allow visitors to tweak the values and see how they affect the output. Well done!
Linked in the Further Reading section is the Red Blob Games article on Hexagonal Grids which is a fantastic resource and is definitely worth a read.

And you know what's worst than earning $0?
- The store not accepting your app because there are too many of the same topic (horoscopes, memes, sound boards, whatever-craft names, etc.)
- Spending lots of money on Google/FB ads.
- Spending lots of money on AWS.
- Burning out yourself and your friends.
Could you expound on this? Are you speaking from experience?
skeoh commented on Valve opens up a Steam Deck to explain why it thinks you shouldn’t theverge.com/2021/10/6/22... · Posted by u/brettnak
I absolutely love this. It would be easy enough for Valve to say "do not open the Steam Deck" and leave it at that. Instead they present clear, sensible reasons for recommending against opening the device while acknowledging that this advice won't stop anyone who really wants to open one up.
