Really good points. LÖVE doesn't support https yet (that's coming in the next version) but for this I think pure http should suffice. I'm going to try to put this together with a tiny server shim to forward messages to each o

Ohh, you mean a clock for the game Go (wei qi, baduk) Sure thing, that should be doable.

Ah. I thought it was a comment on battery life. LÖVE is definitely not the most power-efficient way to run code on a mobile device.

You can run LÖVE on iOS: https://www.love2d.org/wiki/Getting_Started#iOS You "just" need XCode, and to recompile it once a year. Sigh, ugh. I believe there are third parties distributing it on iOS as well. Bu

Yes! That is the world I want to bring back. No package manager and whatnot, just copy paste code from a website and keep going. (I'm ok with not having to type it in every time. Though you're welcome to do that if you like.)

Excellent! :D To be fair, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42034577 does have a very nice option.

The native app or website? Does the app have a clock tool? I use lichess a lot, but only on the web, and I haven't seen a chess clock on the website. (I'm the author of OP.)

Totally valid criticism. I'm not competing with specialized chess clock devices used in professional settings, only chess clock apps on mobile devices that people use in more informal settings.

This seems pretty decent. It's 1) by a reputable site, 2) says it doesn't collect any data, 3) doesn't share any data with third parties. Only criticism I have is that 4) it's proprietary and liable to stop working on ne

Author here. The point of posts on this devlog is to show ways in which you can replace a bunch of different specialized, proprietary mobile apps of dubious provenance with a single general, reputable open source app (LÖVE running my carous

Your point is well taken. I'll just say in OP's defense that it's describing an observation from a specific person's point of view at a specific point in time. And it's natural to feel the deaths in one's group

No, sorry. Honestly I spent a long time going to the source of the 3-volume Intel manual. (There's link to them as well in my Readme.) I think that's really what you need to do for machine code, if you're not using Assembly o

SubX is a weird thing (I built it) that is somewhere between machine code and Assembly language. You have to type in the opcodes directly, which people typically associate with machine code. But it smooths some aspects of programming in mac
