Supergiant has one of the best art teams in the business, so I’m not surprised it’s hard to do.

If anyone is thinking about copy catting they aren’t exactly going to be posting it to their socials.

Yeah it suddenly made sense why apps seem to always have new updates even when it’s something super basic that doesn’t need more features.

This isn’t an answer to your main question, but I recently learned that if you don’t release updates at your app for a couple years google deletes your app from the store (and your developer account if you only had one app). That’s a reason why some old apps disappear.

Thanks for the info. You’ve given me some things I need to consider.

I see, thanks for the info

Can you clarify what you mean by a nonprofit domain? The places I would need to forward right now are a few gmail addresses, a domain I own, and a couple zoho addresses (though those also use a custom domain, not sure if that changes things).

That’s a great callout and a very important feature to me. Do you use anything other than gmail? To be honest the encryption isn’t the main selling point for me, I would just like to de-google where I can these days.

No actually, thanks for passing that along!

This stuff is way over my head, so sorry if this is a dumb question: if it’s using only historical weather data, wouldn’t it be bad dealing with changing weather? Like climate change?

Sorry, what was that? “BUY BUY BUY”?

I went to school with a kid named Merlin Sunlight.

Did he say it noz-moh or noh-smoh?

I really thought there was going to be a bezos hidden in there.

It’s a symbol of wealth. They want you to know the brand because it tells others they have the means to afford it.

I totally agree with you, though. It’s tacky.

I’m definitely not the one to ask.

I said this a while ago on another thread, but if I was a Dev on the project I would be working to create a website that automatically signs you up for an instance. The high level concept is instances would opt into this pool, the user would simply put in their username like any regular website, and then the system would create them an account on whichever instance was best for them (maybe based on ping/trying to spread population around).

This would majorly reduce the barrier to entry in my opinion, because a lot of people just want to browse, and don’t care about the federation aspect at all.

I don’t think it’s weird. Right now it probably isn’t great cause the pool of commenters is already small, and this dilutes it further, but I think in a world where we had plenty of people in all those communities it would be fine.

It does suck on the posting aide, though, and it also seems like there might be some use to a tool/feature that merges them somehow so you’re viewing it all together and respond to whoever you like in one place.

I have a mostly politics free feed that I’ve cultivated. Some always leaks in here and there, but if it’s an account that only posts that kind of content I just block them.

I definitely can see how relentless the politics posting is when I go to all, though.

Does Shogun count? Its new and quite good
