One of the PHP web apps that I have made is Flossing.app

It is a simple to use web app that only requires an email address. You log when you floss your teeth with option to enable email reminders if you miss too many days.

That's the best way I came up with to solve my own problem. It works for me

Good news! Even if you couldn’t make it to #GodotFest this year, all the recorded talks are now gradually being uploaded to our YouTube channel.
If you’d like to support the speakers (and us!) in reaching a wider audience, a like and sub would be awesome!

Happy birthday, @pbs, and thank you for (just off the top of my head) Mister Rogers, Bob Ross, Sesame Street, Cosmos, Reading Rainbow, Nova, Frontline, The American Experience, The Magic School Bus, and Nature.

The good you put into this world, and the return on my investment, is astronomical.

Platypus Reclayed is fun and it has an amazing sound track. They used practical effects! This modern remaster of the 2002 version is great for two player co-op! The visuals are fantastic. For me this game is 💯

If you ever need to change the width of the scroll bar in a TextEdit box in Godot:

get_v_scroll_bar().custom_minimum_size.x = 18

I think the official documentation is lacking for this ability. @godotengine.org

I'm old enough to remember when YouTube used to let you buffer an entire video if you wanted to.

I used to delete finished things off my to do lists. It was not very satisfying and I often felt like I wasn't making progress.

Once I started moving things to a completed section it made me realize how much progress I was making and it felt a lot better to review my to do lists.

Sometimes I can describe a thing and want to see a thing but also not want to spend 3 months of my free time learning how to make the thing exist.

For something like that it brings me joy to use generative imaging. If the models are trained on ethically sourced material what's the harm?

Just now I learned by accident that in the iOS photos app if you are looking at the main library screen you can pinch to "zoom out" and see way more photos at once 🤯

My favorite feature so far in Godot 4.5 is the editor window retaining its size and position.

Now I'm wondering if my Godot app should be doing that!

Godot 4.5 fixed whatever memory issue kept crashing the web version of my app on iOS. I think it was related to using outlines on buttons.

It was very exciting to play through a few game modes in full screen without having to install anything!

Do you use "Options" or "Settings"? Do they mean different things or the same thing?

I was really hoping for Mario Galaxy 3. It has been 15 years since 2 came out.

Having paid DLC for the new Donkey Kong game that just came out (for $70 US) seems not cool to me.

Also just a friendly PSA that you are under no obligation to watch videos of horrific or gruesome events just because they appear in your feed. Sharing this because I'm familiar with the feeling of watching something without really thinking about it and then immediately regretting it.

I never realized that "random pitch" was a GUI option!

Too often I open a panel, make the change I had in my mind, and then move on to the next task without looking at what else is on the screen.

Experimenting with different settings is fun!

Video games are art and science.

I think my favorite never really talked about common sense feature of Godot is how it has built in support for randomly picking from a list of audio clips to play. Not only that, but it has built in support for randomly adjusting the pitch slightly.
