Neat, the Every 5x5 Nonogram game is already #51 in Top Paid Board games (my secondary category). I guess I should enjoy it while it lasts. Maybe we can get to the top 25?

I want to make a #virtualpinball machine out of some old parts I already own: a curved ultrawide monitor, a MacBook pro (Intel), and an IKEA storage shelf. Here is a side view of what I'm thinking.

Whoops, misspelled 'Linux' as 'Linus' in my Every Nonogram Interest form. Good thing only 500+ people saw that 😅
August 19, 2025 at 3:50 PM
We did it! 🎉

All 24,976,511 solvable 5x5 nonograms completed in 80 days by over 200k players.

Thank you everyone who participated! Hope it was fun.

Only 1 million more puzzles to go until all solvable 5x5 nonograms are complete!

Every 5x5 #nonogram is almost 90% complete. We're in the home stretch!

At the current rate, all 24,976,511 puzzles should be complete in about 10 days. Can we complete it earlier?

@v21.bsky.social Question about Downpour: is html used internally when storing games/pages locally, or is just an export format? I'm working on a sticker book type app with some overlap with Downpour (images positioned on a page).

I'm working on a new app and thinking about #data portability. This got me thinking: what are the forever file formats? Say its 50-100 years in the future, what file types can we still open and access without a lot of headache? Probably .txt, pdf, png, jpeg. Anything else?

What's more ridiculous than a web game where you collaborate to complete 25 million nonogram puzzles? A puzzle book!

"Every 5x5 Nonogram" is now available on Amazon. Volume 1 of a 4,995 volume series.

I illustrate some, and used to post somewhat regularly on instagram (www.instagram.com/joel.draws/), though these days it feels like I'm just feeding the image generation models.

Where do folks post their art these days? Mastodon, Bluesky, somewhere else?
