CAA records including an accounturi already expose the account identity in the same manner, so I feel like that ship has already sailed somewhat (and I would prefer that the CAA and persist record formats match).

Serious answer: For some, they do change semi-often and don't feel compelled to declare stability. In other cases, it's a stable + widely used 0.x package, and bumping it to 1.0 usually implies _some_ kind of breaking change. (I don't know if that _should_ be the case, but I know that if I see a dependency has bumped from 0.x to 1.0 I'm going to be cautious and wait to update it until I have more time).

In general: People usually aren't too concerned about it.

Yeah I agree, and do the same. Likewise some config gets complex and can only be reasonably set through config. I prefer when I have a system with one base configuration struct where certain fields can be tagged as available on the command line, another subset in the environment, etc.

I prefer Tidal’s UI and album management. Tidal also has a good notification system for new releases, and otherwise gets out of the way. I moved to Tidal from Apple Music, but would move back if I had to over any other options.

Also, Tidal has been working on opening up more of an API which is hopefully a project that doesn’t die with this announcement.

Thanks for the kind words!

Many good notes, we'll look into a lot of that. And yes currently it's deliberate, but I think we can squeeze some AI swaps in!

Good ideas! Thanks for the notes :)

Yes dictionary is a tough thing to nail down perfectly — to start with we're going to highlight existing words on the board that are invalid, but have a similar line of thinking around the "commit" tap after placing, at least behind some learning setting. There'll be a changelog screen for when things like that make it in :)

Not at the moment, but it's only a question of finding good dictionaries to expand the language support :)

Amazing! Thanks for the detailed notes, and the insight.

Dictionary does still need work — especially around some words like soiree which got culled by our dictionary builder. We'll iterate on building it out (without adding "garbage" words

Interesting re: weakest link rule. Agreed that can be unintuitive when learning the game, but it's one of those rules that balances the game well overall. Possibly we just need to be better at explaining it.

Re: the end game — the current computer is just not-very-good, so a future NPC might play better there.

And good things to mull over re: undo buttons / highlighting tiles / letter distribution.

Thanks again for the detailed feedback, really really appreciated

Yeah that's probably the best solution.
