Nine months ago I did the thing every self-hating coder does: I started a project I probably shouldn’t. Fast forward, and somehow I solo-built a production-ready social media platform called 404Nerds — a community for gamers, game designers, and anyone who loves nerd culture.
I built it in Ruby on Rails (because why not, Rails is still awesome). Right now we’ve got ~15 active users posting 2–3 times a day. Not huge, but hey, for a place no one’s heard of, I’ll take it.
Why am I sharing this? Part bragging rights, part looking for feedback, and part inviting you to join. If you want to be part of a scrappy new community, check out 404Nerds Drop a post, share a meme, or just lurk — all welcome.
