#GoToSocial 0.13.0 Spider Sloth is coming along well. We've got a few little bugs to fix before making a first release candidate, and then we can let our little spidery child out into the world. It's quite an exciting release, so we'd like to get as many nuts and bolts tightened as possible so that it goes smoothly.

In particular, we've found a cheeky little bug in our png decoding, which sometimes causes pngs to fail to be downloaded from remote instances. We'll spend a bit more time poking and prodding this one, because it actually gets around the media placeholder logic we added.

More soon!

"Papers, Please" is 10 years old today! Hell of a time slip.

Thank you to everyone that's supported me and my games over the last decade.

To celebrate:
* $1.99 sale until the weekend, all platforms
* Fresh goods + soundtrack
* $100K donation to rescue.org
* New de-make: "LCD, Please"

Holy shit I think I’m in love.

#Protomaps, a way to serve vector #maps of the entire world using a single static file and HTTP range requests.

It’s basically a static site generator for interactive maps. Tile servers are pretty much obsolete now. No database needed, you can run your interactive, smooth-zooming vector map from any HTTP storage. S3, Caddy running on your Wi-Fi router, even GitHub pages.

It’s open source & free to use. Wow. 🤯

my favorite new iOS 17 feature is one nobody has mentioned anywhere. under:

Accessibility > Touch > Haptic Touch > Touch Duration

you can set the Touch Duration to fast, to make it recognize long presses in less time. huge improvement.
