The backstory
Rosebud AI generates small playable games from a description and hosts them for sharing and remixing. The generation part is increasingly something any strong coding agent can do straight into a repo. What Rosebud adds is the publishing layer, asset handling and a community of remixers around the output. That community is the reason to stay, and it is a thinner moat than the code generation ever was.
