I’m a game designer, not a developer. But I’ve always wanted to build something small, clean, and fun—without clutter, ads, or monetization pressure.

So one weekend, I opened ChatGPT and vibe-coded my first playable game: a classic Word Search. Mobile-friendly. Fast. Lightweight. No logins. Just a simple grid of words for puzzle lovers.

It’s all static HTML/CSS/JS, with randomized word lists. Took surprisingly little time with the right AI nudges. Honestly, it felt empowering to build something solo.

Would love your thoughts—especially from devs and designers who’ve shipped something scrappy just for the joy of i

These are my friend's accounts. To be honest, I just want to reach out to maximum people. I am sorry, I know I am violating the rules. I won't post again.
