    Nice to see you posting again. Looks like a cool game concept! What's the timeline for a playable demo?

    I'm currently on vacation for the next 2 weeks but would love to have a chat about it. I'm also making games in a similar causal party game market. Would be interested to hear about your background etc. I won't link my games here so the topic stays on your game. 🙂. Send me a DM if you're interested.

    Sounds pretty cool, do you have any screenshots or a link? Would love to take a look at it.

    Which Zigbee coordinator did you end up using?

    Per caddy/https, did you consider using Cloudflare tunnels? I found that quite trivial to set up but then you need your own domain name.

    For your reverse proxy usage, I guess you still needed a bit of router config to expose it to the internet? Have you also tied it to a domain name?

    Very cool post. Was wondering why you swapped away from Hugo but I guess it was more of a learning experience and wanting to minimize and be more in control over everything.

    I believe the html within a post is also possible with Hugo but props to you for getting it working in your own framework. (Maybe yours is different in that it is directly the React component...?)

    Any future plans with it?

    I see the new search also includes the post content. My first inclination was to check the top right menu but didn't see it there. I see the icon now next to the hide/collapse comment area. Maybe worth adding an additional menu item at the top as it technically can search everything shown? I'd possibly argue replacing the comment icon (in the top bar) as if I remember correctly it was somehow against the ethos of Tildes (in that you should read the whole post + existing comments before commenting yourself) and thus the add comment button would be at the bottom.

    Thanks again for continuing to work on this! I use the app every day. (Probably more than I should)

    To be fair on your YouTube argument, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon has 34 million subscribers on YouTube. Are your examples posting 4-5 videos a week with 1 million+ views?

    320-400k/yr isn't paying very well...? Maybe I'm crazy but that seems like a high salary for almost any job...?

    Didn’t pay super well for the position but was good enough (depending on company performance and stock fluctuations it would be somewhere between 320k-400k usd/yr).

    I believe you are talking about a legacy "codebase", not framework.

    Otherwise is Java legacy? Is C or C++ legacy? Is every modern video game legacy as it uses C in some shape or form?

    To me, that's a misuse of the word legacy "framework". The framework is actively maintained and still a go-to for many. Once it ends up similar to Cobalt or perhaps a more modern example of say Ruby that has no expanding market share and is not chosen for new projects... Then you could call it a legacy framework.

    This is REALLY helpful. This was actually the crux of the whole issue. I have a fix for it coming that instructs the iphone keyboard to use capitalization when doing the auto-correct. I tested it with an old iphone 7 and the auto-correct worked for me every time. I really appreciate you finding this. I have a similar issue in a few of my other games so this really helps a lot!

    I'll try to push the fix for it later this evening along with the data cleanup from the subtitles issue.

    iPhone has been a bit notorious for having some issues with auto-complete. I messed around with it again this morning with mixed results. Doesn't seem to have any issue at all on Android; I'll keep trying to fix it but no promises as I've already spent some time on it.

    As for having a clear idea of what the dataset is... ideally you wouldn't need to try to emulate any specific "persona". It should just "work" and feel fair. I have a bit of dirty data related to subtitles I still need to clean up... but then hopefully it will feel a bit better just giving your first gut reaction and scoring well (assuming you are a native speaker).

    Glad you are enjoying the game!

    I tried this one the other day and was terrible at it. It felt less intuitive and "fun". Love the idea, but somehow I didn't enjoy it all that much.

    100%, I think it was some weirdness in the subtitle dataset... Where an acronym was standing as a noun and then punctuation was stripped.

    From the quote:
    "Therefore, it is also the five triangles composing the aforementioned N-I-G-H, each are equal to the triangle C-A-B in this geometric concept!""
