Show HN: I made a gaming news aggregator + clicker game

https://www.uppergamer.com

Okay... I know, this might sound like a weird idea, but as a fan of clicker games myself, I really love the idea of merging a clicker game with a traditional website. The idea of combining those two worlds really appeals to me.Uppergamer is my recent attempt to do just that. It took more time than I initially planned and I had to simplify it to make it more manageable, but the minimum viable...

Startup/Side-Project Jams

"Game Jams" are a really popular thing, and many game developers enjoy participating in them. Most of these Jams are hosted online, and some of them even have cool prizes. Some great video games and communities are born from these events. It's a perfect place to test ideas, learn and build a following. I would love to see and participate in something like this for startups and...

Hi guys, I'm really excited to share this and get some feedback. I had this idea on my mind for a really long time, but only now I was able to actually build it properly from the ground up.

Please note this is work in progress, nothing is final, so if you have suggestions, ideas or changes let me know.

I'm trying to reproduce the error, what url or endpoint did you used?

Re:Show HN: Game Giveaway Tracker API on Wednesday November 18, 2020 @06:19AM (#25135521)
Hey HN! For my surprise, right after the GamerPower launch (a gaming platform that helps gamers to find, track and collect the best giveaways in gaming), I got several emails and comments asking for an API...

Honestly, that was not in my plans, but I must admit it was a very interesting idea. So here we are, I just finished the first version, and it's ready to use!

What do you guys think? Feedback is welcome!

Startup Idea: Free Online Courses Platform

I'm personally a big fan of e-learning platforms and I do like to use them sometimes. I also love the concept of free content where the platform delivers the content for free and generates revenue from alternative sources...How cool would it be to have a Udemy or Skillshare but free to use for the users?

I do see your point, the problem is that most free-to-play games do have in-game purchases, and the impact on the gameplay is somewhat discussable since each game have their own mechanics that they keep changing it in each update...
