Those are interesting points. I think I’m unaware of how many places there are without a proper data connection. I guess The Netherlands being this small has its benefits! Granted I haven’t traveled everywhere in the Netherlands but whenever I travel somewhere I have a proper connection.

While you are right that sms is the simplest form of messaging a phone can provide, I think nowadays everybody, their parents, and their grandparents know how to WhatsApp, but that might be limited to the Netherlands?

I can’t speak for the rest of Europe but we used to have all kinds of deals to make sms cheap, you could send 1000 messages for 10 bucks. Slowly but surely the internet connectivity as we know it today came around, and while there were still limits on the amount of SMS you could send in the early days, I’m pretty sure we haven’t had those for a while! Maybe we’re just too used to WhatsApp now.

The moment when I hear someone talking about SMS it is almost always an American. Can’t recall the last time I sent a text message to someone like that, wouldn’t surprise me if it was 10 years ago (for context: am Dutch)

Just updated and it feels great so far!

Another small thing I noticed is that when looking at a post the buttons on the bottom of the screen feel quite close to the content/comments, it also overlaps some text when you’ve reached the bottom

Great to hear! Thanks for the work :D

Since I tend to go by Thundernerd I feel like I have to try it out.

Like the others mentioned, the UI is refreshing, it feels slick!

ETA: I do notice a tiny bit of stutter when scrolling. Not quite sure why that happens.

That’s a fair point yeah, I guess the publicity does help

100%. The moment you point out that this isn’t the way to go you’re instantly seen as the bad one, that you don’t want to be inconvenienced. It’s so dumb.

But hey, at least they bought Weta FX or whatever it is called. Such a good addition to their portfolio, right?!

[-] Thundernerd@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Turns out they had one but discontinued it since it wasn’t being used at all. Shame, but understandable.

Not sure if there’s any (good) visual scripting solutions for Godot, because otherwise that would be a pretty good option!

Wish they would just make a stable version.
