I’ve played neither Counterstrike nor Call of Duty, but I know de_dust2 by name and can even visualise what it looks like, and I’ve never heard of Rust or Nuketown.

Rust was more of a brawl map than the others. Lots of 1v1 fights, but no where close to the playtime of the other two.

If we count the Nuketown map on Call of Duty mobile (mobile has over a billion downloads) I would have to say that's the winner, but if not de_dust2 is the king. Mirage would also be pretty up there.

The dashboard is super clean. Easy star. Look forward to more network monitoring features.

Any external device would need to be cheaper and/or perform better than a current gen iPhone/android device onboard. Seems like a limited market. What would the benefits be over a spec'd out mobile pc doing the same thing?

I'm relatively new to programming and aware of who Jack Dorsey is, but isn't this quite impressive for a single programmer to build?

Without the help of LLMs, this would have been much more difficult.

It’s a good example of what someone can accomplish when they understand how to work effectively with them.

Thinking back this feels like an overdue change.

Most importantly still has the error and feels like it'll make it easier to look at.

Nice open source project.

I like the desktop UI and availability of the java api for integrating with other apps, but I'm surprised by the low # of stars.

How saturated is this space?

The fact that them prompting an interviewee to trash talk the DPRK would make them start swearing is pretty funny

Setting this up for claude desktop and cursor was alright. Works well out of the box with little setup, and I like that it attached to my active browser tab. Keep up the good work.

Matching their franchise record for HRs in a game in only 4 innings is wild!

I'd recommend listing what models your app can use somewhere on the site and if it varies by tiers.

If you're only supporting one model definitely expanding to at least a few options would be a good idea if you plan on continuing the project.

Best of luck, you've got some fierce competition in this space!
