Zen-Balls, my latest side project

This is my first post, not just on DEV.to, but actually my first ever post.

And it won't even be long, it serves more to know if there is any interest in this so I would write more...

About one year ago I was almost sleeping on the couch when the windows bubble screensaver kicked in. I thought about the mechanics and was suddenly super in mood to write something like this by myself.

So I created the following stackblitz

This worked ok-ish but while working on it I thought that this could become a game.

As I also was in mood to learn more about web sockets I and I also was curious about feathersJS so I went with it on the backend and created the:

Zen-Balls

The last thing I added was the hourly ranking (hof) that includes custom links (github, twitter, or homepage) if the user inserts any.

For now I am satisfied, whereas I have a TODO list with more than 60 items and some more ideas but for now I won't work on this.

I am thinking about making the code open source but as this would require some code cleaning and some other changes I would love to get some feedback first to see if there is any interest...

So, if you have any feedback or want to see the source code, let me know in the comments.
