Portlyy

Daily Browser Games Arcade

Built Portlyy as a free browser arcade for daily web games that can be played without an account or app install.

Launched Nearo as the first live game on Portlyy: a Semantle-style daily word game using GloVe word embeddings to score guesses by semantic similarity.

Designed an offline preprocessing pipeline in Python to precompute static score files, keeping Nearo fast and fully client-side.

Served puzzle data from Cloudflare R2 and ran a lightweight Workers backend, with game state persisted in localStorage.
