The downside to this is that people will start polluting lemmy with those phtn links.

So am I. There’s still a lot to figure out, both in where I want to take this, and also just learning how to build web apps in general. I’ll start tinkering less and add some of the most fundamental missing features next. Will see how well my weird UX choices pay off.

Edit: “less”

It is april 1st, you’re safe.

I’m glad to hear that, 'cause I thought it was going to be too obvious. Guess I really underestimated the power of catching people off guard.

You have my first two-handed upvote.

oh boy

The sidebar’s gone because I removed it :)

I’ll try to incorporate that info elsewhere. At this stage, a lot can change on a whim.

Yeah, I’d love to have some kind of full SSR solution that doesn’t require scripts at user’s end, but it’s probably not possible with this.

I wish there were more people building frontends. Since Lemmy is properly decentralized, there’s a lot of potential for interesting instance diversity.

People who make foss apps generally know and care more about programming than secondary things, such as design.

I’ve seen people with weird personal preferences, and some who seemingly perceived design as unnecessary, just getting in the way of “real” work. I think it’s mostly just lack of time and knowledge than an active decision though.

If you have thoughts about my app, I welcome them.

It would mean open source, but the requirements and coverage depend on the license and how the code is used. I made this post to be sure that LGPL doesn’t reach outside the library.

and free to play, no?

No such requirement.

Yeah, different rights for the owner feel like a hindrance in that regard.

Huh, I completely missed that part. Have to look at that more.

I meant by hardcoding that it loads some assets from predefined paths from the project at runtime. I’m now thinking it’s probably not a problem.

I think you’re missing the important part that I’m building a game. GDExtension is just the means to use C++/Rust/etc. instead of GDScript for game code.

Why make it copy left?

I want to give access to the code, but at the same time I want the same courtesy from anyone who uses it.

No, but Valve says this:

If your application contains third party open source code that is incompatible with the Steamworks SDK, then YOU MUST NOT DISTRIBUTE YOUR APPLICATION VIA STEAM.

LGPLing the Rust code is what I’m asking about, but I’m unsure if the LGPL could touch the project in some unexpected way, like having project files hardcoded.

Maybe I’m overthinking it.

MPL is indeed my backup choice. I’d like it a bit stronger though, so I’m hoping to make LGPL work.

Damn, this reminded me I should some day finish my project.

Desgustang. Naked phone is the only way.

While I also disagree with the claim that technology is “fundamentally” insecure, it’s unfortunately not that often made by smart and caring people.
