Google Stadia

Stadia's shutdown was a great loss in the gaming world.

Its social elements were ahead of their time, allowing for unprecedented levels of interaction and connectivity.

Other platforms are still catching up to how easy it was to jump into a game with friends, share game states, or even stream your gameplay with the press of a button; no queuing.

Unfortunately, much of Stadia's potential was undercut by Google's marketing strategy :(


The extra tragic thing is that if Google had committed up front to refund users in the event of shutdown - AKA the thing they actually did - they might have mitigated the fears that kept people off the platform in the first place.

Hi, thank you for taking an interest.

It is 'cross-platform' as long as you have docker installed and configured to use your gpus. You are good to go.

qwantify is still young and unstable to promise you, you will get a first good experience. But do tell how it goes :)


Project Maintainer here.

First of all, thanks rolph ;)

qwantify is a work in progress. As many have pointed out, it is not that different from it's parent repo Neko because this was essentially an MVP. I am working on a set of features including gamepad support and livestream-on-QUIC.

What people might be getting wrong is that qwantify meant to compete with Parsec or Sunshine.

qwantify is a docker image for running and streaming multiple apps or games together from a single machine with at least one gpu. All this can be accessed through the browser.

What (i think) cloud gaming companies like Nvidia or xCloud do.

Be sure to keep an eye out for v1.


I am into the whole idea, and I am not getting it from your description.

Do I install this, and then can use multiple devices to connect to the service, and play different games on each client, with the host that service runs on doing the rendering?

What kind of games are supported? Whatever is compatible with Wine/Proton + native Linux stuff? How do I install games? I feel like README needs a clear description of the experience.


thank you too


Thank you for taking your time to try it out.

This will be implemented soon after we migrate the client from nodejs v14 to nodejs v18. [1]

This has been an issue for me.

Sometimes I work 60 hour work weeks, sometimes am down to 10.

As far back, as I can remember. I've never been one to have consistent energy levels.

But a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon something: automation.

As a solo founder, you do a lot of stuff by yourself; emails, calls, coding, finance etc

But most of this, if you're a tech startup, can be automated. For free.(if you're a programmer that is)

For me, i automated email replies, how they got sorted in my inbox depending on the priority. Same case to calls, and my calendar events.

My energy levels are still unpredictable. But at least now, there's not that much backlog when I get back to work.

I really don't know if this is what you wanted to here... Goodluck anyway.

What are you working on?


Same thing for me. Really big thanks to technology. A friend of mine from Founders Cafe https://founderscafe.io/ told me to work on automation for easy tasks to lessen the burden. It did work somehow and I'm thinking of hiring a freelancer too.


Some form of a meme search (and recommendation) API.

Currently everyone around (I included) scraps memes from reddit, and then displays them on their website, app or chatbot.

I would love to have some API do the heavy lifting by:

- indexing memes from reddit and other social media sites. Where I can search with text or an image.

- recommending memes directly to my users, based on their like(s) or dislike(s).

(bonus) a text to meme creator. A user inputs text on the front end, I send it to the API, it returns a nice full meme.
