Every household management app I tried came up short, so I built my own with Claude

The author sought to improve household management by creating a customized app after finding existing apps inadequate. They initially planned to develop a traditional Android app but switched to a progressive web app (PWA) for quicker prototyping. The PWA evolved to include features for tracking family spending, inventory, and chores, with integration of Google Calendar and Firebase for syncing. The author repurposed an old tablet as a family hub for easy access to the app. After multiple iterations, they are now working on a native Android version, appreciating the learning experience gained from developing the PWA.

Game industry lobby group that argued against preservation efforts from libraries is now pushing back on Stop Killing Games, saying it could prevent ‘new games, features, and technology’

Stop Killing Games has evolved from a grassroots initiative to a significant international player, with presentations at the European Parliament and collaborations with global NGOs expected by 2026. In April, the organization endorsed the Protect Our Games Act (AB 1921), which aims to require game developers to inform consumers of server shutdowns and provide options such as offline versions, patches, or refunds. Smaller game studios are adapting their titles to remain playable post-server closure, with examples including Lunarch Studios and 1047 Games. The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) opposes the bill, claiming it burdens developers, while Stop Killing Games clarifies that the legislation does not require perpetual server maintenance. Historically, the ESA has lobbied against measures to preserve game access, including opposing a DMCA exemption for libraries and museums. The ESA's concerns mirror those of Video Games Europe, warning that Stop Killing Games' demands could lead to unsafe content and financial burdens on developers.

Stop Killing Games delivers ‘absolutely incredible’ hearing in European Parliament: ‘There was no [parliament member] that wasn’t responding positively’

The Stop Killing Games campaign, founded by Ross Scott, aims to prevent the discontinuation of server-dependent video games once they are no longer financially viable. Recently, Scott and organizer Moritz Katzner presented their case to the European Parliament, receiving positive feedback from attendees, including MEPs and committee chairs. Consultant Daniel Ondruška clarified that the movement seeks reasonable guidelines rather than perpetual support for games. The hearing was seen as a significant step in the legislative process, with all present MEPs showing support for the initiative. Katzner noted plans to establish NGOs in the EU and US for long-term advocacy against game shutdowns and mentioned support for a lawsuit against Ubisoft regarding the discontinuation of The Crew.
