I think links should be fine and useful in this case, I’d just avoid affiliate tags and such.

Not a huge fan of inserts and I end up tossing them more often than not but the basic Res Aracana insert is one that I find exemplary. It doesn’t make the box larger than it needs to be, it has room for both expansions and most importantly it serves as an ergonomic storage tray during the game.

I’ve seen third party inserts that looked tempting but they were too expensive and organized things differently from the way I liked. In particular I like to bag together everything that a given player color needs for their setup, that way I can just hand everybody their own bag for their personal setup.

My favorite accessories are a couple of very cheap sectioned trays that I use as component trays for almost every game and some simple card holders for games that need it.

I just checked the Quick Start rules in the rulebook, looks great! Really glad that they have included that. Reminds me of the similar rules in Baseball Highlights 2045 or Space Base and I always play with those.

Thanks for the excellent review!

Do you think that the early encounters will feel samey in repeated replays? StS is a “slow” deckbuilder in the sense that you don’t acquire new cards every round but only after encounters so you go through your starting deck a few times before you really start seeing new cards. This is fine in digital StS since it plays so fast but I wonder how early game feels on the table. How many rounds do early encounters typically take?

If you have an email workflow that you like then something like rss2email might be an option. You simply feed your incoming rss into your email. You’ll want to auto-tag (or otherwise organize) these emails to keep them separate from regular emails. Then you use your usual email tools to organize them further.

I’ve been using such a setup for the past 15 years.

That’s a great selection of games.

Worth noting that there is an excellent 2-player variant for Yokai Septet. It started out as a fan variant but the designer liked it so much that it was adopted as official. I’ve been playing this a lot in the Trickster’s Table app.

Crew’s 2p variant works well too.

Looks like an older site that has fallen into disrepair. All the items I’ve checked are listed as “sold out” once I click on them.

Tiny Epic Cthulhu looks neat. On first glance it looked similar to Tiny Epic Defenders (which I like) but this one has a bunch of other stuff going on. Bag building/management, action upgrades (reminds me of Maglev Metro) and the spinner thingy. This has no trouble funding so I will wait for retail.

After typing in a bunch of programs on my 1KB Sinclair ZX-81 I wanted to understand how they worked and wanted to make some of my own.

Small bug: changing the sort-order loses the filter settings.

But looks great overall! I’ve already rediscovered some of my older favorites and looking forward to finding new stuff too.

Also, any chance of making the filtered/sorted list downloadable as a CSV? In some cases this would be more convenient than paging through the web UI.

Scratch your own itch. Work on a tool that YOU will enjoy using.

The App Store and Android Market launches were pretty damn close. The iOS app-store launched July 2008 and the first Android consumer device (G1) shipped September 2008 and it had the market from day 1.

Worth noting that iOS users had to wait a full year for the app store after the iPhone 1 launch because Jobs didn’t want it at first. I had both devices fairly early on and on the iPhone side we were running “apps” on jailbroken devices months before the app store existed.

phones are going to ruin everything

they kinda did.

Go with the frontend kept as simple as possible.

Personally I am comfortable with that as long as there is a public git repo. An issue tracker is the one thing I’d miss the most. I think how well this goes down will greatly depend on the project’s target audience.
notmuch is a project that I follow closely and very occasionally contribute to that works this way.

There hasn’t been any real form factor innovation in a very long time so cycling through the same styles is what we are left with.

Already moved in the sense that I am not creating any new projects on GH. I am rehosting old projects opportunistically. No plans to get rid of the account unless GH does something really messed up.

Termux for ssh, scripting and other terminal goodness, Antennapod for podcasts, NewPipe for Youtube, Fennec for web browsing with extension support, Fedilab for Mastodon, Mupdf for a no-nonsense PDF viewer.

Same for me, or at least around that time period. First class hardware keyboard support too.
