Been working on Lenswalker today!
Item drops now get a proper full-screen celebration overlay instead of a tiny notification — feels way more satisfying when you find something. Also hardened security headers across all services and added database indexes for snappier leaderboards.
Small steps, but the game keeps getting better 🧙

Passive mana regeneration is live in Lenswalker! 🔋
Your mana now recharges automatically — one full charge every 8 hours. No walking needed to take your first photos of the day.
⚡ Passive regen fills your mana bar over time
📦 Auto-stores charges when your bar is full
⏱️ Countdown timer shows your next charge
🚶 Walking still stacks — overcharge stays walking-exclusive

New in Lenswalker: every discovery now generates a shareable card — a branded image you can post anywhere. Your finds become your recruitment tool.
Walk. Discover. Share.

Lenswalker now has a built-in camera instead of using the native app. Lens switching, pinch-to-zoom, tap-to-focus - feels much smoother now.
Lots still to do. Feedback is always welcome!
Still looking for testers. It's a real-world RPG where you walk, photograph subjects, and an AI oracle reveals their magical properties. DM for an invite.

Just shipped a small but impactful UX improvement: you can now share discoveries directly from the scan result screen. One tap instead of five.
It's the little things that make a game feel polished.

When sharing a discovery, you'll now see clickable hashtag chips based on your photo's element. Tap to add, tap again to remove - makes tagging effortless!
Also squashed a bug where new users saw an "update available" prompt on their very first visit. Oops. 🙈
