Hi, I'm Rahul.
I build browser games and small automation tools from India, mostly alone, mostly at night. This site is where I keep notes on what I ship and what breaks along the way. No newsletter popups, no course to sell you — just the stuff I wish I could have googled when I started.
My main thing right now is Neon Arcade — twelve free browser games sharing one account and one leaderboard system. It went from empty folder to real players in a couple of days, and most of what I write here comes out of building it.
// things I've shipped
Neon Arcade
12 browser games — snake, breakout, minesweeper, a 2048 clone, a Simon clone and more. One account works everywhere. Daily leaderboards with server-side anti-cheat.
Snake Arcade
The game that started it all. Free snake with accounts, daily leaderboards and top-3 celebrations. Also on itch.io.
Trading & automation bots
A private collection of market bots, MQL5 scripts and data tools. Not public, but the lessons from building them show up in my posts.
