Looking for some support from my network, I've built an educational game to get kids & adults outside, appreciating nature and learning about wild animals: 𝐀𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬: 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐬 👇

Would be better to have a general / increased tax on landfill, perhaps for commercial use only. I don't like having loads of specific rules for different industries, regulations should be simple, reduces risks of unintended consequences.

Got something like 400 downloads now, about half paid, and about 30 players playing daily. Have noticed a phenomenon "if you pay, you play" - people who pay for the game are way more active in it. Since implementing free usage, new players are engaging much less. I think it's psychological.

@friel.bsky.social I made a game using iNaturalist public API. You photo real animals to capture them, then compete with other players

Nothing makes me cringe harder than people trying to buy the product and the buy button not working. The only true test is if someone actually pays. I've got logs of people mashing the buy button, so much that it hits the rate limits and that's how I got the alert.

I've accidentally built a zoological database, now over 1,500 unique species have been identified by hundreds of players worldwide with their geographic locations and time of capture. Animalis is now free to play, check it out :) playanimalis.com

Think of a data centre like a road or railways in the 1800s. Then ask yourself what the implications would have been if you banned them. Instead of the term data centres, think of servers. Then think how do you know how many servers are required.

Really happy with this, found a local professional YouTuber in Oxford and paid £500 for a ~2 week trial to create video content and post to socials: - 5 x short-form videos - 1 x long-form video - setting up social accounts w/ branding, posting content

Hit 100 sales of my app / game. And I can see that people are adding friends in the game, which means they must be downloading it together, which is cool.

The datacentre pushback is interesting, especially because people on apps like this are likely disproportionately users of them. There seems to be a disconnect between the costs, using energy, water etc. and the benefits, all the computation that you use in your everyday life.

Still think this is one of the coolest things I've built. Take a picture of anything and it tells you the carbon footprint. Plus gives you lower carbon alternatives, useful for shopping etc. About a thousand people have signed up, but many of them are asking "What is this app for?".
