🎮 I like Elden Ring a lot, more than any other Soulsborne. On the other hand I would have to continue playing for months to get to a level where it gets fun, let alone finish it. Not sure if I’d rather play smaller games instead. So much good stuff coming out these days.
If you ever wonder how good the Tiktok-Algos are, open it in a new private Browser and scroll through that. Night and day.

On the other hand, when I do have a concrete idea, I prefer not to use any new tech, but prefer to use something I have experience in, to get it done/out quickly.
I often feel the urge to try out new languages, game-engines, frameworks etc. but the interest almost always wanes after getting a first idea of the thing, because I have no ideas for projects.
Is Meteor still a thing? Note to self: look up.
For full-stack I find it annoying to work on two projects, back- and front-end at the same time. Ofc there is the “classic” server-rendering, but I do feel like the ideal situation is to have one codebase and a permanent connection between browser and server. (The hypothetical use-case here is a side-project with me as only dev)
Asking around some more I came to the conclusion that one should stick to client-only-use with Next.js. I guess something like Elixir/Phoenix with LiveView is the closest thing to my preferred structure/architecture.
Next (hehehe) step will be to make a simple guess-the-number-game in Next.js.
Seems like the “api”-folder is the place for such things. Feels stateless on first look. Let’s see.
I guess the actual question is, whether it’s able to keep a state in sync with the front-end. Maybe I’m thinking too much in the direction of Phoenix and LiveView here.
Starting to look into Next.js and similar approaches. I wonder if it’s possible to do stuff on the (Node-)Server only, like game-logic that the client shouldn’t see. Or server-calls to counter CORS-issues. Or is it just for constructing DOM for that initial render…
