MERN-template
A website template using the MERN stack. It is geared towards Persistent Browser Based Games (think neopets), but is flexible enough for a number of different uses. (by krgamestudios)

So I spent 3.5 years making a game as a website...
Anyway, the structure of this website uses microservices, driven by an engine I dubbed the MERN-template. It has it's own auth service, and supports both chat and a news feed. The game-specific elements are closed-source though (the idea is you fork the core repo, and build out from there).

Is the MERN stack still worth learning?
i use mariadb, but yes.

So I wrote an auth server - are people using it???
Backstory: Decade Jam, a game jam that lasts for a decade, began Jan 1st, 2020. I started writing a web game called Egg Trainer, but after a year of work realized that my codebase wasn't workable anymore. So at the beginning of 2021, I began working on a game engine that would power the beta version of ET - this is called the MERN-template (clearly, I'm bad at naming things).

MERN Stack, why?
My MERN-template actually uses MySQL. There's no requirement that you do it one specific way.

If you were tasked with creating a Reddit clone what would your stack be?
I'd use the MERN-template project that I wrote myself. It's essentially the mern stack, except with MySQL.

Monetising a Web Game

PSA: Your choice of Game Engine has little to no effect on whether your first game gets finished. And zero effect on whether you make a "good" game.
Anyway here's my game engine.

Why you should be obsessed with "dogfooding" your product
Oh, I've done this with my MERN-template. It was designed to power my game, but I made it available for others to use.

Preact Releases Signals
We've seen this framework forking happen a lot as good ideas are remixed like Aurelia via Angular, Derw via Elm, Restify via Express, and Spring Boot via Spring to name a few. It's interesting to me this obsession with performance that Preact has with their ability to provide a simple API. That said, I am in no way convinced this'll solve the architecture problem. Without at least guidance, or more importantly, a framework + docs on how to utilize Signals at scale, you'll just end up with a random mess. Still, it's awesome how far they've come, and it's neat to see them still innovating years later.

how to deploy a graphQL server with docker and fly
Express GraphQL is a library for building production ready GraphQL HTTP middleware. Despite the emphasis on Express in the repo name, you can create a GraphQL HTTP server with any HTTP web framework that supports connect styled middleware. This includes Connect itself, Express and Restify.

What is your current stack?
Is express still the go-to HTTP server? How are hapi and restify doing? Has koa ever really picked up? Is there any new cool stuff to watch out for (fastify, anyone)?
