I think I've finally come up with a colour palette I like for #desci - and best of all, it has a dark mode toggle!

The new simplified starter build for Star Sailors is now out! starsailors.space #desci hope you guys like it! github.com/Signal-K/client/ac…

Back onto #desci Star Sailors now, fixing up the navigation for desktop users as we edge closer to the rollout of the new design. Excited but a bit nervous, looking for feedback as always And of course, stopping for an amazing Melbourne-style coffee at Koko Black in Claremont 🍫

Taking some time away from my "real job" and also from Star Sailors to continue re-learning Swift. Think I'm getting the hang of it (4 years after building my first app in Swift and then not touching it again)...

Committing to writing tests for #desci now that we're starting to get some new users....

Back in the office today, working on some new smart contracts to enable users to get rewards for their contributions to our network (testnet for now, ofc) and putting the finishing touches on the following sprint kickoff document for the team.

Updating the NPS popup & schema for #desci today Hopefully the simplification/redesign this week will get us some more responses

Figured I should give a little sneak peak of the new deploy page for #desci -

Shout out to Murray Mews on Hay Street, amazing cinnamon scrolls and pretty good coffee Star Sailors is undergoing a minimal redesign for the starting/onboarding points to make things easier for new users. Excited to show you guys the progress, very soon!

Just flew into Perth for a meeting. Very hard to find a cafe open past 2pm here, but Dome has great coffee and free WiFi until 9pm... Keep on building #desci #starsailors

Been a little busy and delayed with the new sprint for Star Sailors (I'm back in my hometown after a month away and been catching up on things in my personal life), but I've had a few meetings and chats with one of my mentors and one of my previous co-founders and think it's time I finally start advertising and sharing Star Sailors in public settings. It's just like dating - you can't expect to get users if you don't put yourself out there. Find people who will support you with what you're building and get those OKRs in place!

Back home in Melbourne for a week, been cafe hopping and designing some new interfaces for #desci Star Sailors...

Over the last 2 weeks, we've gone from having Star Sailors be an SPA to having dynamic reloading/refreshing with a multi-page schema, allowing for users to easily jump into what they were doing last without affecting the site's performance. Today, I updated the page schema so that all space-based projects are now 100% 'slugified'.

Planned out the new sprint for Star Sailors this week and finally upgraded to the M4 Max Macbook today! Fuck it's fast.

Pushed the new version of Star Sailors live - big improvements to UI for mobile. github.com/Signal-K/client/pu… Play it for free (always) - starsailors.space

Users are now more easily able to see the recommended "next steps" when they make a discovery in Star Sailors #desci

Working on a mobile "companion" app for Star Sailors, basically a little bit of experimenting with creating simple, one-stop projects/missions for users. Some of these may be migrated over to the live-service starsailors.space framework, and vice-versa. Right now, it's all about learning Swift, figuring out what works, and hopefully making Star Sailors more appealing by giving users simple opportunities to begin with. No native android yet, sorry - even though I primarily daily drive a Nothing A059p. I hate Kotlin, and I hate Flutter :).

What do you guys think looks better for the mission selection page? #desci #space

Yesterday, I closed a development sprint for #desci. Now, the anomalies you are able to classify are the same ones that your structures "discover" at the start of the week. We also split up the geology and meteorology projects to decrease the confusion that the single flow was causing our users. As a bonus, almost 10,000 lines of code were removed by me in a single week. For every line I wrote, I removed about 5. Am I a senior engineer yet?

I've successfully split up the Meteorology & Geology projects in #StarSailors - hopefully this will make it a bit clearer to users about the difference between these projects. Now, controlling your rovers (for resource extraction) and cloud discovery projects are conducted in different structures. #desci starsailors.space
