Quick question, should I continue posting with the gradient backgrounds or should I start using screenshots from the game as the background to make things more interesting?

Created a little sprite editor thing to help me design new birds for Pocket Bird. Could I have made like a dozen birds in the day it took me to write this? Maybe, but look at how cute it is!

Wait, there's a group of lepidoptera with MOUTHS??

Someone was kind enough to post about @acmail.idreesinc.com on Instagram and now I am swimming in anonymous letters to review! At this rate, I'm going to have to build some little app to help make approving letters easier because manually copying each letter into my code isn't cutting it lol
A screenshot of a sprite stack editor with a simple pixel art editoron the left and a faux 3d render of the object on the right. The render shows a simple house with green grass, white walls and a red roof.
Had an idea for a game last night so made a quick editor as a proof of concept. It's a "3d" editor that involves you drawing pixel layers that then get stacked giving a faux 3d effect when the layers are transformed and drawn on top of each other.

Though for now, Pocket Bird also exists as a userscript so using something like "tampermonkey" would let you do the same thing! On another note, I'm also waiting for the plugin to be approved for @obsidian.md but the review queue has been months long so it's likely going to take a minute.
I want to at some point, but the hard part with Safari is that it can a bit of a hassle to do all the work required to get the extension into the app store (like with my other extension "Mutable"). I was thinking if Pocket Bird reached a few thousand users on Chrome then I might!
Pocket Bird officially has over 500 chrome users! Thanks to everyone that has chosen to let a tiny bird loose while they browse the web!

I’ve just started playing Pokémon Legends ZA and I’ve already accidentally encountered two shiny magikarp flopping about??
I'm just saying, if you're trying to leave Discord for PictoChat or whatever, I've got an open-source recreation for mobile right here...

Remember pulling out your Nintendo DS on the bus and messaging your friends over PictoChat? To bring that feeling back, I made "PicoChat" for iMessage! It's free and open-source (of course), so give it a try and let me know what you think!

I've made an open-source program that updates your Bluesky display name with the current moon phase!

Added more bottles to acmail.idreesinc.com and finally fixed the issue where line breaks weren't being saved! Also added this pretty social media card formatting. Wish I could figure out a way to generate a preview image of the specific card for the tag, but I don't think that's possible?
Also made it generate accurate alt text and link to the original message, which was surprisingly difficult but worth it!
I made a script that posts a daily "message in a bottle" shared through my Animal Crossing Letter Generator, check it out!
Pocket Bird now comes with cute hats! Find a dozen hand made pixel art hats scattered across webpages to give your pet a new look:

Me too! Ever since moving to SF last week my battery has been dying by mid afternoon. Just bought a portable battery pack so I’m not left lost in the city 😅
5:00 pm snowy from acnh playing on the Nintendo music app
Oh shoot, I did not realize the Animal Crossing music on the Nintendo Music app could automatically sync to the time, that’s so cool!
Agreed, I broke my first G&W giving this ago and had to try again before I finally succeeded. At least it taught me better soldering!

No wonder they were later hallucinating being offered drinks by a disembodied hand
Absolutely well deserved!
happy to say rowbot rally's been nominated for a #playdate community award!!! thank you to everybody who's played and enjoyed it over the last year.
(fun bit of ~relevant trivia: it's currently sitting at precisely 1,111 copies sold. wish come true, ig!)
I wish I could add both of these quotes to some sort of physical box release
Your friends have terrible taste

Now that I’ve moved to a walkable city, I can finally work towards that 10 million steps!
Quickly coded up a lambda to post a random daily message in a bottle from acmail.idreesinc.com in my discord! It's a bit clunky as it simulates a whole browser just to use the "Save Letter" functionality, but it only runs once a day so who cares.
They did pretty brilliantly all things considered, just had to keep bribing them with fresh lettuce
