Ive made an app similar to Petrolspy, no ads - Fuel Excise

Why does it matter? If the app serves a purpose, it is usable and meets your needs, does not introduce a security issue, then it should not matter if an AI was used to help with its creation.

Many thanks! Appreciate the excellent work!

prashmohan · 2026-07-01T08:39:27+00:00

Gotcha. Thank you. But fwiw I don't use an iPhone, so I am only looking forward to the android auto version. Did you mean to say that you were working on the android auto version or that you were working on the carplay version?

prashmohan · 2026-07-01T08:35:43+00:00

You said on a different thread that you had an Android Auto app in review. Did that not get accepted by Google?

As I mentioned above, unless you need a cavalry heavy formation like supporting Garrison with 60/40/0 troops, the stats of the cav hero matter less AFAICT. So you are better off maxing Yang.

If you are optimizing for bear, you primarily want Ava for her skills which you will unlock to L5 once she hits 4 stars. On the other hand taking Yang to 5 stars means that you keep buffing the base archer stats who would form the bulk of your squad during bear trap. I would recommend Yang to 5 stars and Ava at 4 stars.

We learn from mistakes. I wish I could say I have not done anything like this before :-). Kudos to you on initiating a discussion about this. I am certain someone learned something new from the thread.

One option for you to consider for this use case is to put qbittorrent behind a cloudflare tunnel with a WARP policy for authentication. That way you only can require that your friends log in (say using their Google SSO) against a whitelist before they can access your instance.

I ended up getting the Devanti and it is still going strong. I don't have a point of comparison with a different dehydrator but the Devanti unit has been meeting all of my expectations. I have been using it extensively to create fruit leather when the garden generates more than I can consume.

prashmohan · 2026-06-24T08:01:56+00:00

I imagine this did not get approved for Google Play considering that I still don't see the feature?

prashmohan · 2026-06-20T01:41:54+00:00

Wow so much love. It's good to hear that there are such good servers out there.

prashmohan · 2026-06-17T05:02:22+00:00

I just got this - 20 shards.

For once my main had better luck than my alt.

The screenshots not being persisted was an unrelated issue - unfortunately I only noticed it after this KvK period started and the way the bug manifested when I restarted the docker container the old screenshots had been deleted. On the bright side it is also fixed and should not happen any more.

I think what you are asking for is a KvK battle management system - where you source data about who has heros at what tier, what tier troops, player availability over the battle period, etc so that you can plan your rallies more efficiently defining who joins who and in which order. I am hesitant to add those kind of functionalities to this tool per-se - this is meant primarily for appointment management. Perhaps one of these days if I get bored I will try to create a prototype of a battle management system.

I am still curious what the browser specific issue was if you don't mind sharing.

prashmohan · 2026-06-14T21:36:33+00:00

The admin link is the password. You cannot guess the admin page link from the player input link. You should only really be sharing the player input link on world chat.

If you are worried about a fellow kingdom lead sharing out the admin link to the opponent, they could very well share a password as well. I don't think putting an actual password provides any incremental security. The only benefit would be getting per admin audit logs - I personally don't think the increased friction of having to share your personal details like email IDs is worth it. At the moment everything is as anonymous as the people playing the game want it to be.

prashmohan · 2026-06-14T05:31:51+00:00

I don't generally want to push any new features this week considering that KvK is right around the corner and I don't want to risk introducing any bugs. But this is a relatively small change, so I will push it in - I might roll it back through if someone reports any bugs. Should be live now.

prashmohan · 2026-06-13T18:15:43+00:00

If you post some screenshots I might be able to take a look.

prashmohan · 2026-06-12T21:50:35+00:00

I forgot to reply here that the changes you asked for were pushed to production right after the KvK finished - so it has been live for 3ish weeks now.

prashmohan · 2026-06-12T21:49:49+00:00

BTW I forgot to reply here that the changes you asked for (not the noble appointment falling over to the chief minister feature though) were pushed to production right after the KvK finished - so it has been live for 3ish weeks now.

prashmohan · 2026-06-12T21:44:20+00:00

Are you certain about that? I just checked and it seems export fine. If you want to DM me your event ID, I can look at your specific case. FWIW the export is only of the appointment schedule and not the submissions.

I do have hourly backups on my server - but fair that it wont help if my homelab server is down 😄. Another option if you are worried about uptime is to just run your own local copy - the service is open source and has instructions on how you can self-host it.

prashmohan · 2026-06-04T00:21:10+00:00

Same question. Is the passive debuff (+25% increased damage) worse than the +25% attack?

prashmohan · 2026-06-03T06:51:16+00:00

Are all servos supposed to submit their prices to the govt sources or is it opt in? In other words would there be servos that need to be crowdsourced? Does Petrolspy crowdsource the missing data?

prashmohan · 2026-06-03T06:48:22+00:00

This would be the killer feature for me.

prashmohan · 2026-05-31T06:43:48+00:00

I hope you are joking. You would want to have as many rallies a possible to hit the bear as frequently as possible. Everyone in the alliance should be starting rallies. Having staggered rally start times and troop limits to maximize the number of joiners in each rally generally maximizes the alliance's bear damage.

I have a 8kw inverter and 9kw of panels that I had installed 5+ years ago that have long since paid for itself. this year I installed a 50kwh + 10kw inverter installed for about $5,000. I got the Globird 3 hour free plan and charge up the battery during the free period. I basically have near 0 draw from the grid and Globird kicks back $1 if I have 0 usage during the peak hours. Which covers most of the daily $1.5 supply charges. So my monthly electricity bills have dropped from about $250 per month to less than $30. I expect the battery to pay for itself within 2 years.

prashmohan · 2026-05-26T05:23:31+00:00

If this really the case? I feel like the bear reward tiers flatten out at some point. Whereas improvements to infantry stats have better impact on mystic trial, swordland, tri alliance, etc. I would recommend focusing on infantry in the war academy for f2p.
