The Developer
Dominic Minnich — Developer & Site Owner
Hi, I'm Dominic, the developer behind this website. This site is where I put the random things I make — games, tools, and desktop apps — somewhere people can actually use and enjoy them.
Everything here started as a collection of side projects — a game built over a weekend, a tool I wished existed while doing something else, an experiment I wanted to finish rather than let sit in a folder. Minnich.Awesome is where those projects get a real home instead of staying scattered across half-finished repos, so I keep adding to it whenever something new is ready.
There's no single theme tying the games and tools together beyond that — some are quick arcade distractions, some are genuinely useful utilities, and a few are just excuses to try out an idea. If you have an idea for something you'd want to see here, the button works too.
Be Awesome
The idea behind the name
"Minnich.Awesome" isn't just a domain name I liked the sound of — it's meant as an invitation. Everyone gets to decide what being awesome looks like for them, and it doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes it's beating your own high score. Sometimes it's finally finishing that side project you've been putting off. Sometimes it's just taking ten minutes to play something fun in the middle of a rough day.
That's really the whole idea behind this site: a place to come be a little bit awesome, however that looks for you today. Be awesome.
What's On The Site
Solo arcade, puzzle, reflex, strategy & party games with global server-backed high scores.
Downloadable Windows apps — Vault for finance, Overlay, and the Command Palette extension.
Pixel art, image editing, color palettes, QR codes, file conversion, and PDF tools.
The web utilities on Minnich.Awesome run client-side — in your browser, on your own device. The web tools don't upload your private documents or photos to edit an image, convert a document, or generate a password. Meanwhile, games feature server-backed database persistence for global leaderboards, achievements, and seamless cross-device account syncing. That means your privacy is preserved on tools while your gaming achievements and high scores stay safely backed up and competitive worldwide.
Everything is free with no paywalls or gated features, supported by non-intrusive ads (see the Privacy Policy for full details). New games, utilities, and updates get deployed as soon as they're tested and polished.
Is everything on this site actually free?
Yes — every game and web tool is 100% free to use, with no subscriptions or paywalls. Accounts are optional and let you sync high scores, favorites, and game progress across your devices.
Where are high scores and game progress saved?
High scores submitted to leaderboards and ratings are stored on our secure cloud database so you can compete on global scoreboards. When logged in, your game saves and achievements also sync to our database.
Do the web tools upload my files anywhere?
No. The image editor, PDF editor, file converter, and utilities process files locally in your browser using JavaScript and HTML5 APIs — your personal files are never sent to or stored on our servers.
How do you decide what to build next?
A mix of fun arcade experiments, tools I find useful in daily work, and ideas submitted through the feature request button. You can track new releases on the Update Log.
I found a bug — what's the fastest way to report it?
Click the bug icon in the bottom-left corner of any page to open the report modal. Include the page and what happened, and it goes directly to the developer.
A Flask backend renders pages server-side, backed by a cloud database for real-time high scores and account synchronization. Tailwind CSS handles styling, and games/tools are built with performance-focused vanilla JavaScript and Web Audio APIs.
