Ali Abbas Solangi

I study Computer Science at Leeds. If something winds me up enough, I will try to build the version I actually wanted. That is why I love CS — every day I find out the thing I wanted to do is something I can actually learn and do, and I only get better the more I keep going.

Party games for phones

2026

Why

Me and my friends were always playing social games. We hated it when a game made everyone connect on different phones for something that did not need that. And every game we actually played sat in its own app, even though they were all party games.

What I did

I took it into my own hands and built the party-game web app I wanted. Spyfall, Mafia, Impostor, and more live in one place. I designed the brand in Photoshop and shipped the whole thing myself — Cursor, GitHub, Vercel, Supabase. We use it day to day.

What I learned

  • Owning a product from logo to a URL people open taught me more than any tutorial — especially the bugs only real players find
  • How to grow something with no budget: friends, societies, and community chats, not ads
  • Shipping full-stack on Vercel and Supabase, moving faster in Cursor, and making a game simple enough that a group will actually start it

Skyscraper aerodynamics
