  • I’ve been using flutter + android studio and I’m enjoying it (as much as you can while making a mobile app). Android studio is a lot but it includes android emulators which is nice to test stuff on if you don’t feel like getting your phone.

    You’ll need to install flutter (works on windows, mac, and linux), android studio (I think vscode also works?), and you can download a sample project, open it, build it, and run it. It’s a great way to see how it works. Then you can create your own project and go from there. Flutter has a lot of packages which I would recommend at looking through (if your app is simple you might not need any of these though).

    Once you build and run the app on your android phone, it’s there and you can use it. You don’t need to upload it to google play or anything else (unless you want to share it).





  • I use obsidian too! while it’s not open source, there’s so many community plugins and all your notes are stored on your computer in markdown, so you have complete control over your notes (you aren’t locked in to using obsidian). I sync my notes with OneDrive, then I use the OneSync mobile app to get my notes synced onto my phone.

    something similar to obsidian is logseq, it’s open source but it’s more geared towards bullet point notes. I used it a bit and it didn’t make sense for me (I was mostly journaling, but it looks very promising if you take notes in a bullet point format!)




  • Super Blood Hockey. 80% off, about $3 USD.

    It’s a very well made pixel art game where you play hockey and you can beat up the other team. There’s a franchise mode as well, so you’ll want to balance how much fighting you do so your players don’t get too hurt. There’s local co-op so you can play against friends (or use steam remote play together).

    PlateUp!. 40% off, about $11 USD.

    Similar to Overcooked but you need to manage your restaurant and make sure you don’t fail a single order. It’s a rouge-lite, and you can move everything around in your restaurant and you kind of manage the menu as the days go on, but you get a choice whether to add option A or B, so it slowly gets more complicated. Very fun with friends, steam remote play together works here as well.

    Bone’s Cafe. 30% off, about $11 USD.

    Similar to Overcooked and PlateUp!, but I feel like it’s more geared towards single player (but there’s local co-op as well). You have to manage your restaurant and menu (can make it as easy or complex as you’d like), while also maybe killing customers to harvest them for ingredients :) You can spawn in helpers and you can show them a repetitive task to do and they will do it.
