Hey, I've done this several times. In the 90's I spent over 10,000 hours on a 2d real time board game similar to Starcraft for the Amiga. In 96 I gave up on the possibility of an Amiga comeback and spent a couple of thousand to build a windows development system to post the game to. Well it turned out to be impossible as the M$ system is so defective.
Once used to perfection it is difficult to program a turd.
Linux was so young that I did not go there and built an ISP instead.
In 2000 I spent a year producing a website in Rebol to analyze the nutritional qualities of foods, did not go anywhere.
In 2014 I started the development of an events website so that anyone can post their events for free, got it working just in time for covid, 7 years, which oddly enough destroyed events. Have a look at GIDOUT.COM if you like it drop me a line.
