Sidecade is a FREE Chrome extension that adds a game arcade to any website you are on. The games run in self-contained windows within the webpage that can be moved, resized, and minimized.

📌My cable company overcharged me for their service and I found myself stuck in their online chat waiting for them to resolve the issue. They wasted 47 minutes of my time. I was trapped and bored! Out of that boredom the idea of Sidecade emerged.
Thank you for trying it out! I genuinely hope you love it.
This was by far one of the favorite products I have ever built. It is also one of the best tested products I've ever built because testing it out meant playing games which was an absolute blast!

I'm impressed! Btw, what challenges did you encounter during the development process, and how did you overcome them?

@codyjy Thank you! I think 2 things come to mind.
1. The windowing system -- The games run inside of self-contained modal style windows within the page. I was going for a native window feel and not a clunky modal feel. There are lots of modal solutions out there but none that really gave the feel I was looking for, so I ended up building one out. There is still more I want to do with the windowing system, but it is definitely a lot better than my initial experiments with 3rd-party windowing systems.
2. Chrome extensions -- Building a chrome extension has a little bit of a learning curve. It took some getting used to but once I got the hang of it went pretty well.

Product Hunt@techlocke it's been so long! I can't remember. I was more of a console and traditional PC game player back then.
