I disagree. If you put your content out in the open for everyone to read, it is totally valid to scrape that content. Otherwise put it behind a paywall. If i can access it for free with a browser then you should be fine with me consuming your content with the tool of my choice. So i can search or use it however i see fit. Why not?

Getting consumed by ai scrapers will be inevitable in the long run i think.

Open source online backgammon. Backgammon is fairly niche, so there seems to be a lot of opportunity for backgammon software to be developed. I'm taking inspiration from Lichess, having enjoyed playing chess there for years. Check out the server, client and backgammon AI I'm working on at https://bgammon.org

I’m building a door. I find that mortises (my frame is mortise and tenon, the tenons were easy on a table saw) are much harder to create if you don’t have a proper plunge router. I’m using some chisels and it works fine but I have eight mortises to make and I’ve finished 1.5 in about the same number of hours. I don’t want to buy a plunge router, because I’m unemployed at the moment, but it would finish the job in minutes. I guess I’ll go get to chiseling! Next door I make will use half laps, so I can use the table saw for both ends of the joinery.

I am building my very first computer game, Tungsten Moon, a VR+desktop spaceflight simulator with realistic physics and engineering, inspired by Orbiter, Eagle Lander 3D, and a little bit of Subnautica: https://tungstenmoon.com/

I am using the Godot engine: https://godotengine.org/

The playable demo is already available today on Github: https://github.com/Eccentric-Anomalies/Tungsten-Moon-Demo-Re...

We're releasing the demo on Steam for the first time in a few days, followed by an early access version probably in October: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3104900/Tungsten_Moon/

My interest in sound design and music production took a surprising turn and I now spend my weekends studying alien vocalization. More specifically, figuring out how to synthesize believable alien vocals and make them expressive and customizable enough to be a tool for anyone who needs that sort of thing for their creative work.

I am releasing everything for free and the first "instrument" and sample pack with previews/videos is already available here: https://neuromorph.gumroad.com/l/alien_vocalization_study_1

Seems to be still going. Doesn't seem to be very popular, which might turn to a competitive advantage for some.
