I built ScribblePadGames as a small offline project with my kid.

Why? Just imagine sitting in a restaurant waiting for food — the kids get bored, you don’t want to hand them your phone, and there’s nothing to do.

ScribblePadGames are tear-off notepads with simple pen-and-paper games like Battleships, Labyrinths, Boxes, or Soccer. They fit in a bag, need only a pen, and turn waiting time into playtime.

It’s 100% screen-free, ad-free, and AI-free — just a bit of analog fun we designed together.

We’re currently testing different game sets and packaging ideas. Feedback on the concept, design, or even the “offline-first” philosophy is very welcome.

Free time I'm currently spending on a super simple date to/since counter: web: https://timerto.xyz github: https://github.com/malczak/timerto.xyz

My bad - bug fixed

Thanks for pointing me to Intl formatting - I will probably migrate in next iteration.

Thanks, I did and I've learnt a lot

OK.. so give it a second try ;) formatting is now based on detected browser locale.

Thanks for you feedback - I assumed date picker will be easier for user. Interesting to hear the other way around would be better.

When it comes to persistency - maybe I will add it some point, but no plans at this point

I fully understand this - localisation is on it's way.

Thanks! For opening graphics I've used https://undraw.co

Hi there, my side project created to learn Svelte. To/Since date countdown timers. Private - data is saved in browser storage. No ads, no login, no nothing just time passing by.

Thanks. Answering your questions this is a custom implementation entirely based on AWS serverless stack + Braintree payment. Although in retrospective I would probably go with Shopify + custom plugin. Regarding Instagram approval I had no problems with getting approved. I may change now after Facebook replaced Instagram API with their own. However, we had a lot of problems getting prod approval from Braintree Payments. It took me over 1 month to finally be able to process payments.
