devlogs.gg is the start of a much bigger idea. For now, we hand pick awesome indie game devs on Youtube, and share their work here. Next, I want make a job board, asset store, private profile links and much more. Bookmark it, you're gonna wanna come back.

Hello everyone! It's time I finally release the project I've been working on for a bit. In it's current form, we share 12 videos a day, that get posted every 2 hours, of amazing dev logs we find on youtube. Manually curated. The amount of amazing indie game dev logs on youtube is staggering. I have over 1000 in a queue to be posted, and that's only videos from 2024. Some have 5 views, some have 500k views, but they’re often equal in quality. I want to level the playing field a bit and give every indie game dev, big or small, a platform to be found. I want to expand quickly with: - Job board - Public profiles - Game jam - And much more

@jonnotie Great find! I love seeing indie game devs get more exposure. How did you discover so many hidden gems? It's amazing there's such quality content with so few views. Do you have a favorite devlog you've come across so far?

@andyroamer I basically let Youtube recommendations do it's thing. I use an a Youtube playlist as the source and use a trigger.dev script to pull the latest every day and adds them into a queue. Then another script publishes the oldest queued video and publishes it. Into a postgres database managed with Directus.

Congrats Jonno! This is a fantastic way to spotlight indie game devs. Love the idea of giving everyone a chance to shine, no matter their audience size. Best of luck with the feature expansions.

Love the idea of devlogs.gg solving the discoverability problem for indie game devs. Giving smaller creators a platform alongside bigger ones is awesome. Congrats on the launch. Good luck!

This sounds like a great way to give indie devs more visibility! With so much content out there, having a platform to highlight indie game devs is awesome. Congrats on the launch! 🎮

Awesome concept! Will there be a way for users to suggest indie devs to feature, and how do you envision the job board working? Excited to see how this evolves—counting down to future updates!

@allen_xu1130 I'm gonna add a "submit" button really soon. The job board will be called "quests" and "side quests". Jobs from big companies and gigs from fellow indie devs, hiring other devs or artists. It will be a bit manual at first, but when I got auth working, I'll make a custom UI for it. Currently. Directus has a nice CMS that I could invite people to where they can then post the jobs. The jobs would be for a one time fee. Or maybe included in a "studio" subscription in the future.

@abdsab Thank you. Yeah I want to list a whole lot more content over time for sure.
Jord Riekwel
Love this. Nice work bro.

This is a great curation platform. A quick question is do you have a plan ensure good quality exposure and view time to every devlog content when you begin to scale (So as not to fall into the same youtube cycle of lots of content no exposure for game devs)

@culjo Yeah I do have a plan. Currently it's hand-picked, but in the future, when you have user accounts, content collection would be different. I still have a massive queue and 3 months "runway" of content.

Vette shit man!

Hey Jonno, How do you curate the content? Is it purely manual, or do you use any automation to help find high-quality videos? As you expand, have you considered adding a community aspect where devs can interact and share feedback on each other's projects? Congrats on the launch!

@kyrylosilin it’s currently all manual. With the help of some targeted searches as well. But I keep finding new things. The community part will be very important for sure. That’s gonna be part of it.
Aris Nakos
Firstly, I really like the UI design. Secondly, I just clicked on 1 of your videos, and I noticed immediately the level of professionalism the maker brought. Clearly, you are doing a great job curating. Looking forward to the future.
