🚢 Shipping CodeGuessr
I recently shipped CodeGuessr. It's like GeoGuessr .. but for code. Given a random code snippet, you have to guess which popular open source project it belongs to. I wrote about the process of how I went from quick sketch to live-on-the-net in this post.
Since my last newsletter, I also started and didn't ship a few projects. There is a lot of hidden work in between my posts and projects. Hidden because the ideas are half-finished, or set aside because I got stuck and bored, or because I figured out that the thing was literally impossible. A few people were interested in my process/how things end up getting cut, so I wrote about it in Recent Projects I Didn't Finish.
In a few days, our second baby will be born, and I'll be on parental leave from Vercel!
