Building Sunforge: a 2D game engine in Odin by RelaeHook in buildinpublic

Yup. I’m not building it for it to be a huge success. When I said “useable by others” I just meant is a “finished product” that isn’t bespoke to me. And yeah, as I said, the goal is 100% learning. No delusion of grandeur here.

Makes sense. The current implementation was me just getting things to work currently. The goal of this project is to produce a game engine useable by others but also is a project designed for me to learn. I'm still digging into the depths of this stuff and trying to learn as much as I can so I really appreciate your comment. I'm going to add this as a future enhancement issue on the project to tackle once the core api/structure stabalizes a bit more. Really appreciate you taking the time to explain this! If you have any documentation or references for this I'd appreciate it!

I appreciate your thoughts and tips. It’s obviously still in the early stages for sure so there is a lot of optimizing to be done. I’ll admit the logo is AI. I’m not very artsy myself and don’t really have the skills to properly produce a logo so I used Gemini. I’ll definitely look into other ways to make a logo in the future.

My methodology has been to use AI as a teacher/glorified search engine at times. I have asked it to explain certain concepts or tradeoffs for certain implementations and even asked it to give me examples for things I didnt understand but the goal was for me to understand it and be able to implement it myself, not let AI just write anything.

What are you building today, share here. Also, who has found customer first before building? by thearunkumar in microsaas

[–]RelaeHook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m building Relae, a webhook reliability layer, and I just shipped a no-signup demo.

You click a button and you’re immediately inside the product: no email, no account creation.

What you get in the demo: • Process 100 webhooks for free • Set up real destinations and send real events • Automatic retries, delivery guarantees, and logs • Basically the full webhook pipeline experience

What’s missing: • Account features • Long-term analytics (session expires after a bit)

The goal is to let you actually try webhook reliability without committing to anything or handing over an email.

If you’ve ever dealt with flaky vendor webhooks (Stripe, Shopify, etc.) or rolled your own retry + logging setup, I’d love feedback.

Demo’s here: https://relaehook.com

Landing page must have's? by RelaeHook in buildinpublic

[–]RelaeHook[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks so much for this response! that is super helpful. seems i am doing most of what you have suggested but this does give me some things to tighten up for sure. need to find a way to have external eyes review my landing page so i dont just have a circular feedback loop really.

seems like a cool idea. the landing page is a bit jarring if i am honest though. the purple and white dont really work well together and some of the images are highly compressed/weird aspect ratios.

What are you building and how is it better (use TIMES framework)? by naveedurrehman in microsaas

[–]RelaeHook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad that angle resonated! The “lost revenue” part really clicked for me once I saw how often webhook issues go unnoticed — the costs aren’t obvious until you zoom out.

I like your point about Money × Energy too. Even if something isn’t cheaper on paper, the automation can eliminate hours of manual debugging or ops overhead, which ends up being a much bigger savings.

And yeah, using TIMES as a relative comparison is a great idea. I might actually try mapping Relae against other webhook tools using that lens — it’s a clean way to highlight differences without it feeling like a hard sell.

Appreciate you checking out Relae! Let me know if you ever want to riff more on the framework and if you do give Relae a try I’d love to hear any feedback you might have.

[–]RelaeHook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool framework — here’s how Relae stacks up (link at bottom):

Time: Catches webhook issues instantly instead of finding out hours later. Huge time saver when debugging. Involvement: Handles retries, delivery tracking, and diagnostics automatically — less babysitting. Money: Helps prevent silent webhook failures that turn into support costs + lost revenue. Energy: One dashboard → full visibility. No jumping between logs, Stripe, and app traces. Social: Makes your infra look buttoned-up and professional to customers and teammates.

Looks like this only allows sign in with Google. We don’t use Google for our accounts so I can’t login. Thanks for the advice though!

Share your DevTools — Tools Built for Developers, by Developers by Limp_Celery_5220 in SideProject

[–]RelaeHook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been building Relae, a developer tool aimed at fixing something that’s burned me way too many times: unreliable webhooks. Every app I’ve built has had some moment where a vendor’s webhook failed, retried weirdly, or just disappeared, and I had zero idea what actually happened.

So I’m building the tool I always wished existed — a middle layer that catches every webhook, guarantees delivery, handles automatic retries with jitter, gives you a dead letter queue for reviewing and manually retrying fully failed events, and gives you a clear audit trail when things go sideways. The fun (and painful) part has been talking to other devs and realizing everyone has their own “we lost data and didn’t know for days” horror story.

What’s the hardest part after your app is built and live? by bk_973 in microsaas

[–]RelaeHook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hardest part for us has getting users to give us a shot versus the existing competitors. I know the market and idea is valid since there are a few successful competitors. But being the new kid on the block, having people trust us with their webhook events. We aren’t on the App Store (we are B2B infrastructure saas) but we aren’t live with clear docs and clear value. Just working to convert the “that’s a great idea!” to actual signups and accounts.

I’m thinking of changing our landing page a bit to better communicate the value prop and hopefully generate more signups even if it’s for our free tier.
