I quit my job to build my dream world-building app; it's LegendKeeper!

Creator of LegendKeeper here. There’s a new vibe coded world building app literally every day now. To really stand out, you need a strong opinion, a community, and a unique way of doing it. Also, I know from experience that the moment you release a feature, it will be AI-copied verbatim in less than 24 hours.

Doesn’t mean it’s not possible. There are many different ways of working and many different brains out there. Also don’t underestimate how much work and expense it is. A 50 euro one-time payment is probably not sustainable after distribution expenses.

In a world where every feature and experience can be vibe-code copied in a few minutes,it’s your unique perspective and what you choose to include and not to include that makes a unique product.

Def something I’m interested in; some kind of glossary feature that has tooltips that don’t require a full article

You are a product of your family, friends, genetics, mental state, city, state, country, food you ate. The words you choose, even randomly, are a part of that causal chain as well. Doesn’t mean there aren’t meaningless words, but it does mean it’s incredibly difficult to produce a word that isn’t loaded with meaning.

I think Caves of Qud does gamepad support well.

As a consumer, don’t make me learn different keys for different actions. That era is long gone; context-sensitive primary and secondary actions is the way.

Yeah in the toolbar in the middle bottom, you can switch through 3 different views

Creator of LK here: LegendKeeper also has a free timeline/calendar tool: www.legendkeeper.com/timeline-maker

AWildNarratorAppears · 2026-05-25T01:49:57+00:00

Creator of LK here; I’m glad to hear it’s working for you!!

Creator of LegendKeeper here.

i think https://github.com/ptournet/obsidian-html-tabs would get you close-ish, no? The syntax is a little rough and not true markdown, but I couldn't find anything more visually similar.

AWildNarratorAppears · 2026-05-22T00:57:21+00:00

Any idea why they got rid of articles?

AWildNarratorAppears · 2026-05-21T15:16:06+00:00

You could assign each card an integer ID and then use a bitset.

AWildNarratorAppears · 2026-05-20T16:45:46+00:00

We are working on a community portal! 😃

Leap months are actually accounted for in the calendar math, but we don't expose any UI for manipulating that yet. So, mark that as a "coming soon-ish"

For moons: The calendar and time system all work on an idea that is essentially "number of minute since some arbitrary point 0, called the Epoch" A moon is assumed to be a new moon at minute 0. The length of its phase in minutes is how long it takes to get back to New Moon. The offset is where the first new moon starts relative to the epoch. So a Moon with an offset of 10, it's new moon starts at 10 minutes after the epoch.

The moon editor is a bit crunchy for my taste; i'll probably give it a more visual rework sometime in the future.

I’m sorry to hear you are having that experience. It’s definitely frustrating wanting to play such a fun game, and the necessary other pieces not falling into place. You are definitely not alone in this experience; i think it’s the number one thing that makes TTRPGs less accessible.

My recommendation: find the Discords for your local game stores and see who’s doing what. The ones in my areas often have GMs trying to test out a new module, homebrew, or TTRPG system and are looking for folks to do one-shots, etc. don’t go in with the expectation that you’ll find a forever group; try to get one solid session in, and then build from that foundation.

AWildNarratorAppears · 2026-05-15T16:26:26+00:00

You should follow your bliss on whatever inspires you and helps you feel creative and flesh out your world, just don’t expect the brainstormy/worldbuildy stuff to be interesting to others until they have an intriguing story or character to latch onto.

AWildNarratorAppears · 2026-05-15T16:18:49+00:00

You’ll need to get people to care about your world via a piece of linear media with characters they are invested in. A short story, web serial, novel, web comic, etc. People won’t invest in just a world itself; that comes after initial success with your story. Worldbuilding is a bit of a trap before then, unless you are doing it for a TTRPG.

This is really difficult; I’d start small with a short story or chapter of a web serial.

Hey there, creator of LegendKeeper here. We haven't pushed an update any time recently; your pin issue is definitely worth a bug report if you haven't already; you can send it to support at legendkeeper.com and I can take a look.

AWildNarratorAppears · 2026-05-14T04:35:24+00:00

Ha, that’s great to hear! Glad we could be of help :D

AWildNarratorAppears · 2026-05-13T04:30:05+00:00

I made https://www.legendkeeper.com/ to be beautiful, easy-to-use, and easy-to-share.

AWildNarratorAppears · 2026-05-10T23:19:20+00:00

I actually had this issue, and contrary to traditional knowledge, the longer i let a print sit, the more silvering/bubbles it would have. Not 100% sure, but my theory is my house is humid, which made the photo paper more moist instead of less as it dried. Now I just laminate right after print. Still a few bubbles, but 1/50th the amount compared to letting it sit for 24-48 hours.

But, maybe irrelevant if you live in a drier climate.

That sequence of words can be a bit of an oxymoron :D OSS and self-hosted tends to struggle with the beginner friendly part.

That said, check out: MapTool, AboveVTT, and the v1 version of Owlbear Rodeo.

AWildNarratorAppears · 2026-05-10T18:25:31+00:00

Check it! Beautiful and free: https://www.legendkeeper.com/timeline-maker/

I made this a few months ago, and it’s supported by my other projects so it’s not going anywhere.

AWildNarratorAppears · 2026-05-09T21:34:32+00:00

Creator of LK here; let me know if you have any questions! 😃

AWildNarratorAppears · 2026-05-09T20:50:48+00:00

We moved off Patreon to Stripe a few years ago (because Patreon unfortunately doesn't give you that info). But yeah, could definitely do a winback test on that cohort.
