The main challenge was just in the type system. Making the component powerful enough to justify its existence but generic enough to work with any arbitrary relational data.

MythKit isn't released yet, so no user engagement data. Soon though 🙂

Solid #dev session tonight. The Tag system UI update isn't ready to demo yet, but is coming together nicely.

As part of this work I built a generic searchable-multiselect component, which I now use for Quick-Links, Mentions, etc. Allowed for some serious code cleanup.

I totally understand the urge to push it and do some dev on vacation, but I also think its the perfect time to give your brain a break and stay off the keyboard for a while! You'll probably come back with some fresh ideas and motivation.

Have fun skiing ⛷️

Greetings worldbuilders, #ttrpg people, and #buildinpublic community!

Back in action today. Got a good five or so hours to put towards MythKit dev. Going to work on piecing together the UI/UX of the new tag management system.

Today's dev soundtrack: Blood Incantation and Stormkeep 🤘⚔️.

This is another mindset I love 💪 We got this.

Do Celine Dion next

This evening I added support for block quotes and text alignment in the editor. Nice.

Will be MIA for the next couple days, but should be back with another update on the tags system late Sunday.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I knew she was onto something

Table top role playing games! Dungeons and Dragons is the most well known example, but there are a lot of different flavors of TTRPG out there. Lots of fun to be had 😀

Love this perspective! Its part of the fun in a way.

All my posts are written by me 👍

Nope, no need for that. Its all part of the process at this point. I'm still pre-alpha and experimenting with features, UI, etc. Just going with the flow.

So in other words... no regression!

Lol. If I did it that way, I'd DEFINITELY have a 10k MRR SaaS app within a week, right? 😂

Fair enough, angry blue man! Once MythKit gets to a shippable state to begin with, I would definitely agree. A little ways to go before that, though :)

Nice. Without a doubt one of the best feelings ever.

Thank you and no problem, I really like your work! Although spiny backed orb weavers have always creeped the heck out of me 😂

You ever have a #dev session where your app ends up far more fragile and ugly by the end?

That was me tonight.

Building the tagging system, so that users can assign custom tags to their entries and use them for filtering, grouping, etc.

Frontend: ⚠️🚧⚠️

What about yourself? Got any strategies or workflow tricks you like to use to stay on track?

Oh yeah! Congrats!

😂 been there for sure.

I keep a little Trello board for myself with my work broken down into tickets like I would with JIRA or something on a larger team. Even though its just me, it helps.

I'll usually toss a few tickets in my "In Progress" column and just see where my momentum takes me.

It would be cool to hear about anything from these topics that has inspired any of your own work on Zombie Exodus!

Awesome work! Test successful 👍

One night per week I dedicate the whole evening after work and before bed to a nice long MythKit #dev session.

Tonight is that night. Lets do this 🚀

#buildinpublic #worldbuilding #ttrpg

Super solid MythKit #dev session this evening! Continuing to build out the editor's Mentions system. The suggestions now have:

🔍 Fuzzy search matching
🥖 Breadcrumbs (also included in search matching)
🟨 Query highlighting

#ttrpg #dnd #pathfinder #buildinpublic #worldbuilding

A screenshot of the MythKit UI demonstrating the mentions feature. The screenshot shows the editor with '@k' and a mentions/suggestions dropdown with results filtered on the letter 'k'.

Had a bit of time to work on the editor's mentions system this evening. It's functional at this point, but a bit sparse.

Tomorrow I'll add fuzzy search to it and some kind of breadcrumb-like context to the search matches.

Yeah I think you nailed it. Its tough... I want to do it ALL 😂 But, gotta stay focused the mission.

Yeah, deceptively complex is a good way to put it.

Its interesting to hear that clipboard paste is more useful for your workflow. I can see that being the case too - a user finds an image online and wants to quickly copy & dump it into their entry.

Just standard image formats for now. Video later!

Fun #dev session for MythKit today. I've added rudimentary image support to the editor.

Right now only copy/paste is supported, but single & bulk file upload support will be coming soon.

Thanks! I'm especially excited to add in rich and customizable keyboard control. I envision a workflow where a GM or worldbuilder can create and find their content without ever having to move their hand to a mouse or a trackpad.
