It's Friday! Anyone got anything interesting planned for the weekend?

I actually got a small proof of concept working, with state persistence just by saving to local files, and I looked into hosting it on a free tier at some cloud hosting.
Unfortunately all free tiers assume some kind of external database. :/ 路 2 years ago
I also thought about saving state in the URL, but ultimately decided against, because:
It means that state is never persisted. (Except for bookmarks, I guess)
Without serverside state, user->user interacation is not possible 路 2 years ago
@ethereal Don't know if this helps, but I had an idea a while back of encoding a "game" state in an URL, basically base64-encoded bit fields. Not particularly difficult to set up the encoding and decoding, and state-mutation can be through by redirects. This effectively getting around the need for keeping any state on the server. 路 2 years ago
Not really planned per se, but this whole social network site you set up got me wanting to make a simple interactive server for gemini.
Something like a MUD or something.
"You are in a dark room, you see an exit to the east and the weest"
"> Go east"
That kind of thing. 路 2 years ago
