Hi everyone
I’ve been exploring Gitea as a lightweight, self-hosted development platform, and I’m currently working on a small side project inspired by the Letter Boxed word puzzle concept.
The idea is to build a simple web-based game where:
-
Letters are arranged around a box (similar to the puzzle concept)
-
Users form words by connecting letters with specific constraints
-
Each move is validated based on custom rules (no repeating sides, chaining words, etc.)
Since Gitea provides not just Git hosting but also collaboration tools, CI/CD, and issue tracking in one place , I’m thinking of using it as the central hub for development + automation.
What I’m trying to figure out:
-
How can I best structure this project in Gitea for smooth collaboration?
- Mono repo vs multiple repos?
-
Has anyone used Gitea Actions for game logic validation or testing workflows?
-
Any recommendations for organizing issues/tasks (maybe using projects or milestones)?
-
Would you suggest integrating external services, or keeping everything self-contained within Gitea?
I’ve seen that the forum has categories like installation, usage, actions, and ecosystem discussions , so I hope this fits here feel free to move it if needed.
Would love to hear how others are using Gitea for non-traditional projects like games or interactive apps.
Thanks in advance!
