vapidness_is··on DOS_deck: Play DOS games in the browser with full controller support
Ah it looks like Firefox in private mode doesn't support indexed db with is used for storing the games locally and for auth. I should add some error message for that case :) Thank you for reporting. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1639542

Thank you so much. EarthBound is awesome. I played it for the first when I added SNES to Afterplay. Are you playing on desktop or mobile?

Very cool! I've built a similar platform for GB, GBA and SNES at https://afterplay.io I've thought about adding DOS support in the future. What emulator did you end up using? Very nice implementation :)
vapidness_is··on Show HN: Patterns – Habit Tracker App
I think it's much more than a checkbox app. It does time tracking, objectives, supports integrations with other services like Apple Health and it has a great reporting and data insights.

It really is an impressive and incredibly polished service.

I think subscriptions are great especially for solo projects like this. They align incentives between the developer and the customer and can support maintenance and feature requests. If it's a one off payment I'm worried the app will die and not be supported.

I use https://conjure.so/ it's by far the best habit tracker I've found

No way :) It's a small world. Thank you. I hope you're enjoying it. If you have any suggestions please feel free to let me know :)

Thank you. It's still very much a work in progress :)

That's strange. I'm sorry about that. Did it happen more than once? Did you hit the backspace key? I will investigate :)

I run Afterplay (https://afterplay.io). It's a game emulation platform where you bring your own games. It took 18 months from first line of code to 2K. It's now my full time job :)
vapidness_is··on Ask HN: What have you created that deserves a second chance on HN?
https://afterplay.io

A web-based retro gaming platform

Thank you very much! I've been working on it for about 20 months :)
vapidness_is··on Show HN: Play your retro games on any device with cross device saving
Thanks Classy, I could do that, it would be slightly less convenient when switching devices as you'd have to add the rom again but could be an option if there is ever any issues. Another thing I've thought about is client side encrypting any roms before uploading them. That would me I don't know if people are playing homebrew titles or something else.

Hi Kelteseth,

Yes we store your games for you but you must upload your own game. Kind of like how google music worked when it first launched.
