What's the current feeling / status of Mongoose OS? Are there any better / newer alternatives for small hobby projects? (I'm using the C APIs, not the JS wrapper stuff)?
I've been on and off working on ESP32 and ESP8266 projects for a long time now, but am overall a near complete novice to electronics, circuit board design, etc. Anyway, the last project I worked on (these are personal / hobby projects for fun) I spent time looking into tools to build a more robust EPS32 based project with, and I ended up deciding that Mongoose OS was a great mix of out of the box features that fit with my experience as a software developer (mainly backend web stuff), with things like their json parsing library, etc, and the onboarding with AWS IoT things platform, etc.

A tiny zero-allocation JSON serializer compatible with C89!
Very nice project. How does this compare to Frozen?

Interest in use of playdate as a simple / fun utility remote control once networking APIs are available
The Hue API has a lot of very simple RESTful endpoints, e.g. GET /lights which along with a Lua JSON parser or even a C JSON parser could make discovery of devices doable... then again using the top down layout editor the devices could be placed in your virtual home layout.

Free mods list
One option might be to look at the Path of Building “Data” folder. If you need them in another format (e.g. json), it wouldn’t be that hard to write a Lua script to export them in your preferred format (using this json library, for example.

A question about save/load.
If you don't want to reinvent the wheels, you might want a json encoder to transform data into strings and back. Or bitser if you want better performance and smaller files in exchange for human-readability.

Plain Text. With Lines
Honestly, I just went with JSON because there's a nice Lua library for it (thank you https://github.com/rxi/json.lua).
I haven't thought about the file format much so far, just the experience of writing in it as if it's the "ground truth". We all seldom open our text files in a hex editor.

Get json.lua from here. Put it in your project directory alongside file1.lua.

Cant get highscore to save
Good point. How about this? It allows you to encode/decode Lua values into/from JSON.

Indexing / substrings
I like this json library and tend to use it for save files (also makes them easy to edit by hand while debugging). It gets angry if you use tables with a mix of string and numerical keys, but I'd advise against that anyway. I've also used binser, which is also effective and easy to use.
