I'm very please to announce a public release of my drag-and-drop bookmarking, game-making, and wandering tool Scrubjay! Scrubjay is a weird website builder that lets you cobble together web elements, images, links, text fragments, etc into a series of nested rooms...

"SCRUBJAY" sits over a bunch of images of frogs, birds, doors. it's a very 90s look

WHEELJAM has absolutely kicked ass to run these past two years, and we wanted to try something a little different to get visibility on the games and the devs that make them, so we made a launcher and a bundle to bring some of the cool games we made to Steam!

I still love making my dumb games, but that opening for a yard hand at the lumber yard down the street is looking real appealing... The tech industry is just starting to scare me and tire me out at the same time

Idk if it's the sheer inundation of AI in my workplace and feeds or just burnout, but I'm jumping at more opportunities to get outside and earn some blisters and splinters in my hands with manual labor around the house.

In the bottom left of my main monitor, I get a promotion email for AI-powered services for universities. In my secondary monitor: Gitlab running jobs with scripts that were (likely) Claude-generated. Tabs in firefox open talking about the OpenAI security incident and this stuff with the Saber CEO.

jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

On my main work monitor: A teams call, where I'm reminded that I have a Claude-generated document I need to review, which is comparing legacy code to Claude-generated code. In the text channel, there's a discussion happening about how to allow Claude to execute git commands for you.

Are you a game developer who's made a demo? Canceled releasing a demo? Had interesting results from your demo? Just really like questions that end with the word "demo?" I'm looking for devs with experience and stories about their demos for the upcoming Demospree newsletter! Let's chat sometime!
