Happy Friday, #dev #ttrpg and #worldbuilding people of Bluesky!
Social sign up / login is officially a go ✅
Part of me wanted to push this to after the alpha release, but... who really wants to remember another password???

Analysis paralysis. Which is usually my #1 challenge with UI/UX work haha.
I've got more of a backend brain, but I love designing and implementing UIs. I just find it hard not to overanalyze every option down to the pixel! Gotta remember not to let perfect be the enemy of good, as they say.
Quick MythKit #dev update: Tag System UI is in place and working pretty nicely! Currently unstyled. My aim for the next week is to tidy up its layout and UX a post a little demo of it in action.

Flexibility! Its tough to create the perfect session for each player at the table, every time. I've found that when my players are willing to be flexible enough to meet me half-way, even if the current session isn't to their exact preferences, that's when my sessions really take off.
Beautiful detail on this map.
I'm imagining the scenario where we're ascending, rather than descending. Some sort of chase scene, where the party has to ascend faster than a group of pursuing fire elementals, or maybe a rapidly rising pit of lava. Could be fun and pretty intense! Nice work.
They look great. Well done ! 🐺
Sounds like an amazing trip. Congrats!!
A photo of a whiteboard showing a countdown that says "29 Days until MYTHKIT ALPHA Release." The handwriting is hideous.
The countdown is on!
MythKit's FREE alpha release is less than a month away.
The alpha will support an MVP featureset for wiki-like #ttrpg #worldbuilding, and a prototype of campaign management that will let a GM share content with their players.

How was the ski trip? Did you take a full break from dev, or do a bit of coding in between sessions on the slopes?
Whew! Godspeed 🫡
Oh man 7th Sea is way high on my list to play! Hope it was a good session of swashbucklin'
That project sounds challenging but pretty interesting too. Hobby project or something else?
Hello #ttrpg and #worldbuilding and #buildinpublic BlueSky!
Been busy couple days with work and life so far this week.
Have a few hours this evening though to make some magic happen 🧙
Who else is building tonight?
I feel that so much! I like to solve it by looking for inspiration just about everywhere. Lately its been fantasy-themed black metal... lots of good nuggets about wizards and knights and magicks out there!
The main challenge was just in the type system. Making the component powerful enough to justify its existence but generic enough to work with any arbitrary relational data.
MythKit isn't released yet, so no user engagement data. Soon though 🙂
Solid #dev session tonight. The Tag system UI update isn't ready to demo yet, but is coming together nicely.
As part of this work I built a generic searchable-multiselect component, which I now use for Quick-Links, Mentions, etc. Allowed for some serious code cleanup.

I totally understand the urge to push it and do some dev on vacation, but I also think its the perfect time to give your brain a break and stay off the keyboard for a while! You'll probably come back with some fresh ideas and motivation.
Have fun skiing ⛷️
Greetings worldbuilders, #ttrpg people, and #buildinpublic community!
Back in action today. Got a good five or so hours to put towards MythKit dev. Going to work on piecing together the UI/UX of the new tag management system.
Today's dev soundtrack: Blood Incantation and Stormkeep 🤘⚔️.
This is another mindset I love 💪 We got this.
Do Celine Dion next
This evening I added support for block quotes and text alignment in the editor. Nice.
Will be MIA for the next couple days, but should be back with another update on the tags system late Sunday.
Have a great weekend everyone!

I knew she was onto something
Table top role playing games! Dungeons and Dragons is the most well known example, but there are a lot of different flavors of TTRPG out there. Lots of fun to be had 😀
Love this perspective! Its part of the fun in a way.
All my posts are written by me 👍
Nope, no need for that. Its all part of the process at this point. I'm still pre-alpha and experimenting with features, UI, etc. Just going with the flow.
Lol. If I did it that way, I'd DEFINITELY have a 10k MRR SaaS app within a week, right? 😂
Fair enough, angry blue man! Once MythKit gets to a shippable state to begin with, I would definitely agree. A little ways to go before that, though :)
Nice. Without a doubt one of the best feelings ever.
Thank you and no problem, I really like your work! Although spiny backed orb weavers have always creeped the heck out of me 😂
