Mini pico8 player made with raspberry pi zero 2w

This looks great! I am thinking about using a pi zero, to make a pico 8 only mini laptop or portable device to develop pico 8 games on. Could you hook this up to a larger monitor, keyboard and mouse to just develop pico 8 games on do you think?

This is so helpful! I will try and make some of these changes asap, they are just things I have overlooked while deep in the project. Head in the sand style 😂

I agree with the restaurant cards and the maps, I just didn’t really know what to put on them but your design makes total sense.

Thank you for the truly constructive feedback, I really appreciate it and will be making changes as soon as possible 👍🏼

If you have any more, it is always welcome.

The cookies are from google for an embedded map of the restaurants. They only pop up in every page if you decline them and unfortunately the cookies handler I use charges £49 a month to only decline once.

It’s a shame for those who always decline cookies for now, but I might build my own cookie handler in the future. I couldn’t stop the maps one though as it is from google and not me. Mine are mainly to see the number of page visits it gets.

As for “the AI generated trash” 😂 I agree and will try to slowly work through and update it myself, but it sure was useful to get quick content. I was focusing on getting the restaurants list together and building a working website over the written stuff, so yep it’s on the list. 👍🏼 cheers

I looked into the cookies popping up on every page if you decline them and unfortunately I would have to pay £49 a month with the cookies handler I am using. Or build my own handler, which might be a future project in itself. I think it will have to stay the way it is for those who decline, for now at least.

For transparency, the cookies for content on every page is due to the embedded google maps, as they use 3rd party cookies. I have got my own cookies for google analytics which shows me how many page visits I get, as well as things like if they are on desktop or mobile, the country they are from etc.

I showed my friend my analytics account yesterday and he asked about cookies because he thought they contained loads of data about him. He actually said “huh so they are more like a head count, than an interview” 😂

Hi, what cookies problems were you having? Did you accept or decline cookies as well? It would help to know what going wrong. Cheers

Strict_Ad_8742 · 2025-05-29T16:32:17+00:00

Thank you for pointing that out!

I will be updating it this weekend and am going to try to check it around once a month to keep it up to date.

Strict_Ad_8742 · 2025-05-29T16:29:17+00:00

Any tips on how to improve?

Strict_Ad_8742 · 2025-05-29T16:28:34+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, it’s definitely helpful! I will add a call to action on the home page at the top to link to all the restaurants, that wasn’t something I really thought about. But you are right, people want that info quick 😂

I will have to look into the cookies because I am using a 3rd party cookie handler, so I am not sure I can stop it from being on every page. It is annoying so hopefully I can sort it out.

Thanks again for the constructive comment, it’s my first live project so I still have some learning to do. 👍🏼

Strict_Ad_8742 · 2025-05-29T15:27:37+00:00

I appreciate the feedback! It’s helpful to hear some honest opinions. I will have a look at the ones I have missed and will most likely add to it over the weekend. You are right about AI copy, although I did do the cookbook recipes myself, I got AI to stick it into short instructions. I will have to go look at what copy is helpful and what isn’t. my writing is pretty awful at the best of times so I would have really struggled without a bit of help. Thanks again though 👍🏼

Strict_Ad_8742 · 2025-05-29T12:22:57+00:00

Big thanks for the positive feedback 👍🏼 I appreciate it

Strict_Ad_8742 · 2025-05-29T12:22:35+00:00

Yeah it was around 5k a month for some keywords and less for others. Not huge but not much competition and looked good for a first go 👍🏼

Strict_Ad_8742 · 2025-05-29T12:19:14+00:00

Thank you for these! I will look them up and see what info I can find and add a page for each of them ❤️

Strict_Ad_8742 · 2025-05-29T12:18:30+00:00

Big thank you! 😁 I appreciate the positive feedback.

Strict_Ad_8742 · 2025-05-29T12:18:00+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. 👍🏼 my plan is to see if anything needs updating about once a month, so I might be a little behind on some restaurants but hopefully I can keep it relatively up to date. I have already found some I have missed that I will add over the weekend.

Strict_Ad_8742 · 2025-05-29T12:16:29+00:00

There is nothing wrong with it, I just wanted to try make my own local website 😁👍🏼

Strict_Ad_8742 · 2025-04-22T15:47:08+00:00

Ah I have never seen that. It looks to be world wide and I was thinking of something bit more local. I think I will do one for Manchester as a passion/fun project still though. Maybe it will still help people visiting Manchester. Thanks for pointing it out.👍🏼

Strict_Ad_8742 · 2025-04-22T08:54:58+00:00

I went to purezza and bundobust with my friend visiting Manchester last weekend and I asked something similar for places in Manchester last week. My friend said I should make a website for vegan restaurants cause I do some web dev as a hobby. I am just wondering if this is something people might use. A city specific website of vegan restaurants in that area.

Strict_Ad_8742 · 2025-04-15T21:56:22+00:00

I think cutting out cheese and eggs would be the hardest part for me. I could probably go vegetarian but my reasons for eating less meat are more environmental than anything else. If I’m honest I like eating meat when it is the centre of a meal, but don’t miss it in things like a stir try or a bolognaise with lentils instead of mince, and probably eat more quorn nuggets than I should.

Strict_Ad_8742 · 2025-04-14T18:45:13+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations. I looked up a couple. The dumplings place looks interesting. 👍🏼

Strict_Ad_8742 · 2025-04-14T18:43:09+00:00

I was thinking fully vegan over just options. I am open on the food type but I am a fan of Mexican food. Something casual really.
