Okay so How to Make a Good Hero Banner for your Indie Game Website?

There are a few ways you can do them but here are the Top 3:

1. Background Video + Game's Logo
2. Game Art + Game's Logo
3. Animated Game Art + Game's Logo

Let me explain:

#gamedev #indiegame #webdev Image
1. Background Video + Game's Logo

is by far the MOST popular one that I've seen. This is essentially using a part of your trailer as a background looped video with the logo in front of it.
This is really good in capturing your user's engagement and can be used to showcase the gameplay with less words. It's simple yet very effective in delivering what your game is all about.

Here's a good example of it from Hollow Knight:

SSH local port forwarding, explained to humans:

ssh -L [local_address:]local_port:remote_address:remote_port [user@]ssh_server
1.🌐💻 Have you ever wanted to access a remote server as if it were running on your local machine? That's where local port forwarding comes in!
2.🛣️📬 Think of it like a mail forwarding service: just as you'd tell the service to forward your mail to your new address, you can tell SSH to forward traffic from a remote server to your local machine.

#willwritesandcodes #100DaysofCode #Day31

Uninstalled and reinstalled @ProgrammingHero again, did the exam for #Cpp course, and it still crashed at the end.

:/

It could be my phone. I'll have to try installing it on another device. Still a bummer screenshot of the error message as programming hero app cras
Also resinstalled the very different app, @Prghub, which has much shorter courses and as a result felt deceptive about how much you were learning. I haven't uses it in over a year for sure. They have a bunch of new courses. I'll try some-I don't know if I'll keep at it w this app
#willwritesandcodes #100DaysofWriting #Day23-#Day27, need to keep track of how much I write and where. I kind of write a lot, but not always towards the goals I want to write toward. So I'm writing this tweet to stand in for missing those days' record while noting that I do write

If you were building a new web app/SaaS in 2023, what would your tech stack be?

(Rails, @laravelphp? Fancy new JS framework? What database setup would you use? Where would you host it?)
Personally, I'm still on team "full stack web dev" (Laravel, Rails).

Most indie SaaS these days are still being built on mature web frameworks:

@SnapShooterio (Laravel)
@bannerbearHQ (Rails)
@TransistorFM (Rails)
@usefathom (Laravel)
@hostifi_net (Laravel)
@ZipMessage (Rails)
If I was in charge of PR for Rails/Laravel, I'd focus on getting more young people to learn these frameworks.

- Make it easier to get started
- Make it more fun (sample projects)
- Get it into more bootcamps

I'm a web developer, and a lover of anagrams.

Here's how I create animated #anagrams for the @AnagramPost. (LONG THREAD 🧵)

#webdev #html #css #javascript #php #thread
In November 2022, I made a Python program to animate anagrams of tweets as an experiment.

It wasn't very easy to use or maintain, though. It's over 1,000 lines, ~160 of which are to work around Pygame being unable to wrap text or render emojis in color.
Sometime later, I decided to try refactoring it to make it less of a headache.

But partway through, I thought to myself, "Wait, why am I trying to recreate a web layout in Pygame? I should just...do it on the web!"

So I did.

1) If you're wondering how successful was @SoulashGame and what it took to get here, I bring some data, some advice, a little about me and how I got here, and what it took to make it.

Thread below!

#indiedev #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev
2) I worked on @SoulashGame for 7.5k hours over 5 years. After all asset costs, store cuts, and taxes I earned 14.95$ per hour as of today.

This includes Steam, Itch, Gog, and Patreon over the full duration, including EA.

3) Speaking strictly in terms of income per hour, I ended my career as a Systems Architect / Team Lead when I released @SoulashGame, and I was earning twice the rate in #webdev than in #indiedev

But when I started working on Soulash, I was a PHP developer earning 6 times less
