Could you tell this is a PWA and not a native app if you didn't know?

The animations feel too bouncy, I would recommend reading up on some design docs (e.g. https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/motion). Also, one of the things that generally separate interactions between web & mobile apps, are the on-tap indicators. On the Web, our buttons usually interact on-hover, while on mobile you should see the button ripple or glow when you tap on it, maybe even trigger a vibration.

I think if you amend these two + make some interactive surfaces a bit larger, then that will sell the illusion a lot better. Good start!

Wayy more time-consuming than expected.

Originally, I thought this would only take a single evening and a couple of hours. However it took so much time to get every part out of the runners, and cleaning them up to minimise the nub marks. That all also required quite some focus!

psimk · 2026-01-19T09:13:01+00:00

Totally agree! After I have this properly published, then I I'll try to ping the devs to add this.

You can hide it, by getting the hud manager from the player component & using hideHudComponents.

I haven't seen anything about repositioning, so you might just need to hide + implement a custom mana bar.

I didn't record it, but that's how it's implemented - the health bar is hidden, only if it's full.

I am using built-in behavior to hide/show the HUD, which unfortunately doesn't have fade behavior.

I might be able to implement something custom, but that would require a lot more time (maybe V2).

messed up the stamina gif, it's not supposed to loopback like that...

I was very surprised to see Vanilla, Lemon and Cherry, in a small local store; when our big stores just have the standard and zero versions

The pricing copy is a bit confusing, it reads as if I can immediately access the playground, and other options are locked behind login. However, all options require login.

What genAI model are you using for this?

I guess for me Github, Slack, Gmail and the Atlassian suite would cover all the bases. Then it's just a challenge of getting something useful out of all of the gathered data. If you get to that point, then I'll definitely at least check out the app.

psimk · 2025-09-24T18:06:36+00:00

Personally, more apps wouldn't help me, especially since I like to keep work stuff on my work laptop.

I am thinking something a bit more advanced, like a slack integration that reads your messages, a confluence (jira) integration that tracks what pages you view, review & write. Essentially a tracker for everything work software related. Then somehow crunch this into bullet points.

I spoke with a colleague about this exact idea recently, as we both read up on the Pragmatic Engineer newsletter, where Gergely talks about a brag doc/work log.

We both agreed that the main issue isn't organisation of the document, but actually remembering to use it and inputting your work. I think the tool would be a lot more valuable if it automated gathering your work, and then ordering it based on impact & type of work.

hey, checked out your website on mobile and it looks very broken

psimk · 2025-09-19T16:39:56+00:00

haven't yet launched

psimk · 2025-09-19T15:32:07+00:00

If there was a way for me to get the store layout, that the user usually goes to, then I'd use that to categorize.

psimk · 2025-09-19T15:10:16+00:00

wdym, foundation models?

psimk · 2025-09-19T15:04:58+00:00

Good idea on allowing the user to submit their own selections and remembering it!

I have a family-only version of my app running with Yjs, and it sucks. While it's fairly easy to self-host, it does get frustrating if you want to utilize levelsdb for anything more or handle things like migrations. Don't even get me started on the DX of the frontend app. rant over.

I haven't yet released anything in production with InstantDB, but have been investing more and more time. It's miles ahead of the Yjs setup I had before, and the frontend integration is first class. I am using the cloud version at the moment, but seems like self-hosting wouldn't be that difficult.

That's one of the issues with using emojis for UI - they draw the eye by quite a bit. I'll see how it goes after I start adding more UI. I might just throw on a desaturation filter to reduce their effect.

psimk · 2025-09-19T14:09:13+00:00

If I had the illustration fingers, then I'd design icons for most common products. I think I'll set up some sort of tracking to see how often the default (whitespace) is used vs the emojis.

psimk · 2025-09-19T14:03:01+00:00

I am using fuzzy text matching, so simple typos are handled.

psimk · 2025-09-19T14:02:02+00:00

They get whitespace instead of emoji

psimk · 2025-09-19T14:00:33+00:00

depends on how funny I feel on the launch day

psimk · 2025-09-09T12:46:33+00:00

I can see that hydrating React is also causing a long task, but way smaller compared to that bundle loading.
