@andyroamer I basically let Youtube recommendations do it's thing. I use an a Youtube playlist as the source and use a trigger.dev script to pull the latest every day and adds them into a queue. Then another script publishes the oldest queued video and publishes it. Into a postgres database managed with Directus.
Firstly, I really like the UI design.
Secondly, I just clicked on 1 of your videos, and I noticed immediately the level of professionalism the maker brought. Clearly, you are doing a great job curating.
Looking forward to the future.
This is a great curation platform. A quick question is do you have a plan ensure good quality exposure and view time to every devlog content when you begin to scale (So as not to fall into the same youtube cycle of lots of content no exposure for game devs)
@culjo Yeah I do have a plan. Currently it's hand-picked, but in the future, when you have user accounts, content collection would be different. I still have a massive queue and 3 months "runway" of content.
Thank you for the tool, i struggle to find gamedev content, it would be great to include articles or discussions too.
@abdsab Thank you. Yeah I want to list a whole lot more content over time for sure.
: I encountered a small issue with the video loading on the homepage. It might be worth checking out!
Considering everything @jonnotie does is amazing, I’m super pumped to see how this grows!
Congrats on the launch @jonnotie! Loving the design btw, totally fits the product/market. 🙌
@allen_xu1130 I'm gonna add a "submit" button really soon.
The job board will be called "quests" and "side quests". Jobs from big companies and gigs from fellow indie devs, hiring other devs or artists.
It will be a bit manual at first, but when I got auth working, I'll make a custom UI for it. Currently. Directus has a nice CMS that I could invite people to where they can then post the jobs.
The jobs would be for a one time fee. Or maybe included in a "studio" subscription in the future.
The idea is viable and it seems very promising. can't wait to see what comes out of it
Hey Jonno,
How do you curate the content? Is it purely manual, or do you use any automation to help find high-quality videos?
As you expand, have you considered adding a community aspect where devs can interact and share feedback on each other's projects?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin it’s currently all manual. With the help of some targeted searches as well. But I keep finding new things.
The community part will be very important for sure. That’s gonna be part of it.
This is a great deal for everyone Indie devs get more exposure, and gamers get to enjoy awesome, unique games.
love the idea of leveling the playing field for indie devs. adding more interactive features like live Q&A would make it even better.
This sounds like a great way to give indie devs more visibility! With so much content out there, having a platform to highlight indie game devs is awesome. Congrats on the launch! 🎮
Congrats on the launch! Can't wait to see what's next – bookmarked and ready to return for more inspiration!
Congrats Jonno! This is a fantastic way to spotlight indie game devs. Love the idea of giving everyone a chance to shine, no matter their audience size. Best of luck with the feature expansions.
