Trying something new.

Using the device motion to move the images so it’s possible to see beyond the screen.

It’s fun to use and inspect the images.

Had to play around with a center threshold to keep it static in the center and smoothing the animation.

By the way, those specific characters? Not special, I didn’t look at your list.

Here’s a video of my prompt from 3h ago asking GPT what characters to add.

I made a video and refreshed the page so you don’t even consider I edited the timestamp…

Again, I don’t appreciate being called a stealer.

First version of Minitale is from December last year. Characters, side characters , attributes and places are there from the very start. It’s the very basics…

I don’t know where that screen in your app is 😅 I probably don’t have access.

I told my truth and I don’t appreciate being called a liar.

3h today to add special characters for Christmas.

Code is so that next year these characters will appear automatically.

Will add for other events like easter, school start, valentines, halloween as they come up…

Tomorrow is time to start burning money on some ads.

4h yesterday to update how minitales are created.
4h today to update the onboarding.

Now I force creation in onboarding so the aha moment is fast.

3 requests that kept popping up are done.

Notification when minitale is ready next.
After Christmas characters and some marketing 😅

Latest changes based on feedback, minitale creation is now split into steps.

Will take this also onto the onboarding to teach users where and how to create their minitale.

I like Porsches but I’m also lazy at heart.

Oh well 🤷‍♂️

5 useless notifications in the morning from X-Twitter was the final drop.

Character consistency for Minitale.io is closer and closer.

Create your character, upload your picture and be your own hero!

Here’s some screens with me and my wife’s characters.

Missing piece is being able to train the model from one input image (I have some ideas 💡).

Confetti!! 🎉🎉🎉

@builditn0w.bsky.social

Added labels under some of the icons yesterday.

Figured that a lot of people don’t understand icons at all.

Added easier navigation between sections (previously could only change section with scroll), and improved the referral information.

What do you think?

Forms are hard.

My method is a generic ThingForm that exposes a onSubmit and defaultValues props and is used by CreateThing and EditThing

This way I don’t need to validate the existence of id when submitting to figure out if we’re editing or creating

All 3 components are strictly typed

For some reason I couldn’t adapt to such keyboard. The key travel is too big, I kept mistyping everything.
I have it right in front of me and just keep the MS keyboard.

Thanks, but no thanks. 😂
