Crowd-built games — discuss, vote, ship in real time

May 19, 2026 Day 1: social-dev opens for early access

Today's the day: social-dev-game is live for early access.

After weeks of solo building, the landing page, subscribe flow, and Discord server are all open. The bet: instead of one designer guessing what players want, the crowd designs together — propose ideas, vote on changes, and the winning ideas ship to a live game automatically. No coding required to participate.

Two tracks at signup

- Crowd — unlimited, free, open to everyone (the main flow)

- Solo founder slot — limited, hand-onboarded one at a time

The stack (because IH always asks)

Pure vanilla HTML/CSS/JS frontend, Node + MySQL backend, nginx reverse-proxy, all running on a home mini PC. No frameworks, no SaaS dependencies. Auto-deploy on every push, custom analytics dashboard built from scratch over a weekend.

Where I'd love your eyes

- Does the landing copy click in the first 5 seconds?

- Is the "Solo founder slot" interesting, or too quirky?

- Anything you'd want before signing up?

Every game gets locked into one designer's taste. social-dev-game flips it: instead of one person guessing, the crowd designs together. Propose, discuss, vote, and winning ideas ship live.
