I don't get it.
The description on the home page doesn't make the game clear to me, and isn't compelling enough to make me want to hand over my twitter credentials.
After poking around a bit I found the "Most Active Games" box, but the pages those links take me to don't really have any more information, just a tag cloud of evidently broken links.
I spent maybe 3 or 5 minutes there, and I still have no idea what Twabble is or what it does.
- djb_hackernews 17y agoYea, I need to change the verbiage. And I tried to augment it in the FAQ. But I agree it still is unclear. Admittedly there isn't much more to it besides tag clouds. If anyone actually uses it I'll probably add in some charts from the google api. The broken links is because I was using an IntegerField to store the message ids, which are way bigger than integers. Don't know how I didn't catch that but it will be fixed soon. Thanks.
- djb_hackernews 17y agoI've updated the home page to hopefully better describe the game play, which isn't much. I've also fixed the broken link issue, though I haven't fixed the old ones. One thing to note is I only require twitter sign on as a basic access control mechanism and so my bot will know who to follow. Once you are in with twitter you can create/delete and join/leave games.
