Day 1: social-dev opens for early access
Today's the day: social-dev-game is live for early access.
After weeks of solo building, the landing page, subscribe flow, and Discord server are all open. The bet: instead of one designer guessing what players want, the crowd designs together — propose ideas, vote on changes, and the winning ideas ship to a live game automatically. No coding required to participate.
Two tracks at signup
- Crowd — unlimited, free, open to everyone (the main flow)
- Solo founder slot — limited, hand-onboarded one at a time
The stack (because IH always asks)
Pure vanilla HTML/CSS/JS frontend, Node + MySQL backend, nginx reverse-proxy, all running on a home mini PC. No frameworks, no SaaS dependencies. Auto-deploy on every push, custom analytics dashboard built from scratch over a weekend.
Where I'd love your eyes
- Does the landing copy click in the first 5 seconds?
- Is the "Solo founder slot" interesting, or too quirky?
- Anything you'd want before signing up?
