I've spent several years developing a few dozen solitaire/puzzle online games:

https://inSolitaire.com

I am currently rewriting the engine to add ~400 games this month.

I truly believe people underestimate sheer luck and a good grasp of an said opportunity.

Mark is a mediocre innovator and a weak and ruthless leader. He has had the chance to claim ownership of Harvard Connection before Fb and purchase trendy platforms being a billionaire.

I sense more luck, opportunity, a huge team of advisors, and less skill, talent or chrisma.

Sorry to disappoint you maybe, but your point sounds nonsensical to me. Disrupted by AI in which sense? Some very subjective numbers: all my past and present employers are using JB software almost exclusively (which estimates across 4 companies with ~5k total tech headcount).

I'm enjoying building a website with solitaire and puzzle games.

I am currently rewriting the engine for the fourth time and plan to add 400 games to the platform in the coming months, as well as social features such as daily challenges, awards and leaderboards.

My main goal, however, is to make this project the largest collection of free modern solitaire games available for mobile devices and desktop computers.

So far, the project has been incredibly exciting, and I've learned so much!

It may be, I am working on bugfixing the whole platform right now (to be released by EOY). What is not working for you?

Thanks for the feedback! You are playing version 3 right now. Version 4 will be a massive bugfix – I am intending to release it by this Christmas.

"Seeding/sharable link" idea is bound to daily game feature – and this is a next feature pack going out in Q1 next year.

Card switch is also in the roadmap, it is part of the non-existent (for now) settings system.

Appreciate for the kind words! Stay tuned!

I've spent several years solo-developing an ad-free website with over 50 different solitaire/puzzle games:

https://inSolitaire.com

I've rewritten this project (almost) completely three times and now doing it for the fourth time, with tests and best practices.

I would be incredibly grateful for any feedback what I'm missing with it.

So far it has been great fun and I have learnt an incredible range of things!

Thank you for the feedback. For first one I'm turning it off, this has been a piece of a feedback already. For the second – yes, as part of daily/winnable deal package in Q1 next year.

I'm building on an ad-free website with 50+ solitaire/puzzle games.

Gotten some feedback from HN already and now fixing things – basically rewriting the engine for the 4th time.

Hoping to add some hundred games more soon!

I've spent several years (since Covid) developing an ad-free website with 50+ solitaire/puzzle games.

I've gotten some feedback from HN already and now trying to fix things (rewriting the engine for 4th time). Hoping to add some more hundred games soon!

I'm also wondering what it is missing – any particular game or mode (e.g. daily games or tournaments)?

Very neat and clean UX, kudos to that!

How do you market it – now or planning to, if I may ask?

I've spent several years since Covid times solo-developing an ad-free website with 50+ solitaire/puzzle games.

I've gathered some feedback from users from HN already and now trying to fix things.

I'm looking to genuinely improve the experience so would be incredibly grateful for any feedback. I'm also wondering what it lacks – any particular games or modes?
