I would like to know what your hoppy coding project are. It doesn’t really have to serve a purpose, but what are you coding on in your free time that just is fun to you and you enjoy working on?

As a background: I am an experienced programmer and do earn my money with it. In my free time I always enjoyed trying out new stuff related to technology, learn new things and improve my skills by doing so. But lately I recognise that I just have no clue what I should do or what a fun toy project I could work on. I really have no ideas. My head just feels completely empty whenever I open my IDE.

So please, tell me what you are coding on for fun.

how has that been? I thought the idea was neat but wondered about how it would be long term. Are you able to publish what you make and get some income?

It’s a small community, so I wouldn’t expect to be making a living just yet 😅 Squid God was pretty big in the community making tutorials and, he shared his revenue and it looks like a little over $4k for a game he collaborated on that was released on the device’s catalog. A few of his smaller games got a combined $3k, but that’s also with the added YouTube audience helping with popularity.

The community is good though! Very open-source welcome, at least the parts I’ve interacted with.
