Too late to edit, but I realized I should have mentioned: I'm happy to answer any questions, and field suggestions, about the tech stack or game design.
The tech especially isn't rocket science (first time using Tailwind, FastAPI, and sqlite, which have all mostly delighted). While the game design isn't either, it's been interesting to think about how to do (LLM) conversations as actual gameplay, as opposed to purely ornamental. I think the tasks must feel objective and fair enough to be engaging as a challenge, while still being open-ended enough to reward creativity.
