2026 is off to a great start with my game WorldGuessr reaching 2M MAUs! Due to high demand I'll be launching a mobile app soon. Looking forward to continue working on it and a bunch of other new projects this year :)

@KrishivThakuria When you think you have a good idea build it immediately and try to validate as soon as possible. If it's a good idea I find it slowly grows continuously.

Try not to have too many ideas in a backlog as then its much harder to build them later.

Worldguessr is peaking at 7300 CCU.

@PeanTten nooo why?

[Gautam Anand @CoderGautamYT]

@KrishivThakuria i remember the first week chatgpt launched, they blocked it entirely for students but funnily had it allowed on the staff wifi. fast forward a few months they finally unblocked it but installed a tool called goguardian that lets teachers continuously monitor student activity

@mlg27_ i've been building web games previously and it would be cool to use it to quickly generate designed mockups for that.

@pashmerepat Does it beat opus 4.1?
