I'm Pindigo's dev. Thanks for the plug!

Our locations are sourced from Pinball Map; scores can be tagged with locations which allows us to maintain leaderboards for specific machines (in addition to global/social/event leaderboards).


Just wanted to give a shoutout to my hobby app, a social scorekeeper and ranker for pinball players, Pindigo. It’s free; there are over 11k users posting scores. It also has locations, user groups, and leaderboards. https://www.pindigo.app


Thanks for making Pindigo. I'm a frequent user and evangelist. It's been a great resource in growing our local pinball community.

Agreed. I refuse to work in a JS-only codebase. For small things, JS is fine, but for really large projects, TS is a must especially when you want to do large code refactors.


Oof, choosing JS over TS was certainly a choice. Not one that I would have made…


Arguable a reasonable choice to avoid tooling, but if you are going to use NextJS anyway… might as well choose TS


exactly, the build step is there anyway, so why not get "what you're paying for"


I have and am still working there. Fairly kismet situation; found a very bespoke opportunity.


Was this website written in it? It’s awful on mobile. :/


Surprisingly no issues here in Firefox or Chrome mobile. What's wrong with it?


Maybe the code editors could use some horizontal padding, otherwise it looks just fine on iOS.

I've been a senior engineer for several years now and feel that I would enjoy the jump to principal engineer. Are there any recommended coursework or books that would help me with this?


Professionally, I'm working on the frontend of a radio frequency propagation simulator for 3D "digital twins" of cities/regions. This uses ImGui under the hood, but is wrapped by Python. It's a bit of a pain, but I came up with a class that allows the UI to be composed in a manner more akin to React Components.

For fun, I just implemented a finite-state machine for a videogame I'm working on in Rust. It's used to swap out sprite animations depending on the state of its parent entity. I'm glad to be solving problems I'd never come across in my normal line of work.


That landing page is fantastic


Looks awesome. I wish it weren’t Windows only.
