mbarlocker··on Show HN: Blinkjoy Games- Play free board games like Acquire in the Jackbox style
Thanks!

Currently working on a Splendor-type game (kickstarter link on the page). What would you like to see after that? Have a favorite?

I should mention - the games we have right now are Landlocked (based on Acquire) and Psych Word (based on Codenames)

My brother and I created a website to play board games on a tv using your phones. We've only got 2 games right now, but we're working on more. In fact, we've got a Kickstarter right now for a third called Apochromy.

Both of our games are currently free to play. Would love to hear what you think!

depends on what you're trying to do with devops. If you're writing a script, I agree. Use bash anyway, Go probably isn't the thing. If you're writing a modular agent that monitors a running system, then generics would be pretty nice.

Ply looks interesting, but still lacking for my particular use case.

the thing i hate most about golang: no generics. the thing i love most about golang: super fast.

Just yesterday, I discovered their date parsing, which uses example based formats. It's pretty cool. Instead of the typical yyyy-mm-dd format nightmare, you would do 2006-01-02. The reference date is the key.
