Damn, he got me.

There are quite a few chess rogue likes that exist, but they're all very interested in the idea of playing chess like chess, I want to do something fundamentally different.

It would take some typically boring part of the game, and use that as the scoring mechanism, instead of the actual act of taking pieces itself, and would be designed around chain reactions and cool sequences of events, I'm gonna prototype this so hard.

These look great! What's the process like?

Yeahh, maybe it's an overreaction to the opposite nature at the start of something. Like don't get me wrong it's definitely too far at times, but I prefer this over X, it'll probably (hopefully) get better with time

idk dude, maybe your example was overkill but I like when that stuff is optional viewing. When I first joined it was the wild west of boobs and I don't even follow any of that stuff, feels like I have so much more control over my feed now.

For drawing I remember there being a really good implementation on an app called dotpict, but that's a very specific type of drawing.

Start it under your finger on press and move it upwards away from your finger quickly when the drag engages, I had a similar issue to solve once, and that was the nicest way we devised.

I'm thinking it won't, biggest reason Twitter sucks is that there is a money incentive to being inflammatory. Here they pledged to not do ads or any sort of post incentive, so that's a solid foundation.

I think the last step this tech needs to really pop off is more 'viewer' options, alternative apps to bsky's natives that can access the same data, and voila, a fully decentralised platform! I'm sure that will come eventually

I made Twitter light mode now

Thanks! I am aiming for vaguely Source Engine aesthetic

I love these vibes!
