    non-romance visual novels

    This YouTube video by The August Hail gives a good summary of the top rated Japanese visual novels as of a year ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qROSGD5F_T8

    Among those, the probable safe choices IMO are:

    • 28:47Steins;Gate — Sci-fi and time travel for nerds
    • 21:14Umineko When They Cry — Ridiculously long detective story, a whodunit in a mansion on an isolated island, repeated multiple times with different rules, and tricking the reader into taking the easy way out (it's non-interactive IIRC)
    • 14:54The House in Fata Morgana — The gothic art is beautiful and less anime-style, which I'm sure is a plus for many people. Going back over a long historical span of time to find reasons behind a witch's curse.
    • 0:08Fate/stay night — Fantasy action, 7 different classes of warriors fighting each other, each backed by a mage looking to win the Holy Grail. In some town in Japan for some reason.

    All of the above are Platinum or Gold on ProtonDB.

     

    Honorable mention that likely doesn't meet your needs: I personally love Kara no Shoujo, aka The Shell Part I: Inferno, a gruesome murder mystery with amazing somber atmosphere. But it may be too gruesome or unfortunately have unnecessary sex parts that will turn off a lot of people. The same YouTuber made a not-overly-spoilery video talking about it, so you get a sense of what the experience is like (NSFW, Gore): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pNUQfE0Nys

    Okay, thanks for clarifying. I uploaded another build, version 1.2.3, that moves the Reply option to the end, instead of removing it entirely.

    To head off potential followups: I won't be going more fine-grained than that, interspersing it into the middle of any default system menu options. The system menu options can easily change between iOS updates, and I don't want to deal with that.

    (Android users: On Android the advanced setting is still to remove Reply entirely. It's not straightforward to customize the ordering on Android AFAIK.)

    Oh shoot, thanks for letting me know. The release build had a configuration error causing that crash. I've uploaded version 1.2.3 that fixes the Advanced settings on Android.

    Phoenix Framework is a pleasure to use, together with Elixir providing great ergonomics. Erlang VM makes it all run very lightweight and fast. Very impressive and satisfying tech stack.

    LiveView is a really cool model for realtime web applications using websockets, and created a lot of interest when it first came out a few years ago. I'm happy to see it reach 1.0.

    What a compelling watch!

    I liked watching this other streamer (Jerma985) trying the game for the first time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LR2KY05_duo — it works well as an intro for those who haven't experienced the game before, before diving into the speedrunning video. No need to watch the whole thing, I skipped around and watched a few minutes here and there.

    Thanks for the ping. The app is escaping brackets. I'll fix the bug in the next update.

    FWIW I don't think that's intended to be read as "that's your problem" but rather "that's the problem." In the tone of someone trying to help troubleshoot. Like a plumber uncovering a leaky pipe and saying, "yeah, that's your problem right there."

    But back on topic, you are correct that that option is added by me. I've noted the muscle memory issue, but for now I'm not making plans to change it or add an option, sorry to say. I have regretted adding too many options in previous apps. If it's a widespread problem then I might reconsider down the line.

    I'm a bit surprised the "Reply" option isn't showing up. But not that surprised because I'm sure that menu works differently on different manufacturers. Always feature fragmentation on Android. If you like, feel free to message me your device info and I can research if that's a known issue with a workaround.

    Thanks for the sentiment! It's kind of a passion project in that I'll never make a proper wage from it; there aren't enough Tildes users for that. I do accept donations, as others pointed out.

    Good point. It sounds like it's slightly easier now to go back and forth with a saved draft and viewing other comments, but maybe it would be even better with scrollable comments while the bottom sheet is open. It's trickier than it sounds though, since there are a lot of small interactions that would have to be disabled if a reply panel is currently open. So not conclusive at this point.
