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 that uses GloVe word embeddings to score guesses by semantic similarity.

Built an offline Python preprocessing pipeline to generate static similarity score files from the embedding data, keeping the game fast and fully client-side at runtime.

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