I made a daily game version of this https://rystaf.github.io/hinklepinkle/


Today's was... the same word, spelled once with the US spelling and once with the British spelling?


Love the idea but today’s was not a good one.


I kinda wish the arrow keys defaulted to moving the highlighted portion and you had to hold shift to move them.


I agree


Reminds me of Yoshi's Cookie, but way cleaner. Great job!


The constant zooming is straight from a specific level in the game. The next level is similar and constantly zooms out. Those are the only two I've experience so far with that mechanic.


If anyone gets to one of those levels and is unable to play due to the visual effect, you can hit 7 on your keyboard and it switches to an alternate view. I think this actually works on all levels, kind of an interesting feature.


A puzzle game which uses unusual animation to visualize a unique gameplay mechanism, but which also accommodates people who are put off by the animation… is pretty much the gaming equivalent of finding my soulmate without knowing what I was even looking for. Or even knowing I was looking for anything at all.

I’ve pretty much soured on trying new games several times over the last decade, only to be delighted by a new game or class of games which tickle some niche fancy for me. Given this and some of the other recommendations in these comments, it looks like I’ll be starting another iteration.


I recently discovered github publishes any of your registered ssh public keys at https://github.com/username.keys


I just started using Flym and I love it. You can also install it from F-Droid.


SmsMatrix works decently well. However it does not support MMS messages (group messages or pictures).


I'm seeing the same thing. All the embedded vimeo videos were either deleted or made private.


A chat app that randomly drops messages with no indication they are delivered. Call it General Chat.


Iirc that already exists....hangouts.


Gonna need some Google Allo for that sick burn


iirc that is irc.

'member netsplits?


A chat app which only runs if you are running


A chat app, which gives you X amount of characters to send. The length of the message is deducted from X when you send a message and you need to move around in the real world at walking/running speeds to replenish the characters.

I think this would actually be better as a forum. Flame wars would get you fit!


A chat app that only lets you talk to people at the same altitude.


A chat app that only lets you talk to people on the other side of the planet.


A chat app that forces you to speak in any other language besides your mother tongue.


A chat app that Google Translates all your messages through five languages and back to the original.


A chat app that routes your messages to Intercom chat widget on a random website.


> but then they got rid of the self-hosted version

What do you mean by this? Is this not the self hosted version?

They misspoke - it's the cloud version they got rid of.
