Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Wordist is being released today! I had an idea for this game years ago, and I have written the code from scratch maybe a dozen times (seriously); trying new things, exploring ways to do things, stressing over using an ORM or not, using different languages, and spending countless hours debating with myself on inconsequential things. I finally settled on a look and feel that I like, and I think the game is in a good place to share with the WORLD; or perhaps just my three boys and my mom 😜. I told my wife, jokingly, that she had to play it every day, and she nearly had a nervous breakdown.
Even in today's world of AI enabled tooling, it is still hard (for me at least) to build good software (at least I hope it's good). But, man, it is still fun!
Thanks for reading, and if you played a game, holy cow — thanks for playing!!! That's one more than I thought would happen.
