Hideout
A browser-first entertainment portal with games, apps, browser utilities, AI links, updates, and community navigation.

Hideout is a browser-first entertainment portal built on Lovable, aggregating games, apps, browser utilities, AI tool links, updates, and community navigation into a single hub. Think of it as a personal "start page" for web-based entertainment and tools — one place to discover and launch a variety of browser-based experiences.
The portal format is inherently curator-driven, with the creator selecting and linking to various games, apps, and utilities. It is not a game engine or app platform itself — rather, it is a directory-style launchpad that organizes and presents web-based content in a clean, browsable interface.
For the Lovable directory, Hideout is notable as a "portal" use case — Lovable being used to build a content aggregation and navigation layer, not a single-purpose tool. It sits somewhere between a personal homepage and a curated web directory, representing the more playful side of the platform.
