Eight builders reach their first ship

Eleven ships in the morning count, three of them repeats, none rated yet, and one first ship has already come back returned.

Of the eleven ships we saw on 19 August, eight were somebody's first: shoot, GWC Advocacy, Game in 5 hours, personal website, LMIC-MC-BOT, An about me site, My own site! and LifeLab. The hours attached to them run from 2 on GWC Advocacy to 24 on pixi's personal website. Eight of the eleven are approved, two are pending review, and one came back returned.

the returned one is espees' shoot, logged at 14 hours. Every multiplier on the day's list is still null, so no payouts to report; ratings arrive days after a ship goes out. The three repeat ships were FocusBuddy, Password-Generator and ColemanOS, all second ships, all approved.

โ€œAfter the second ship, a lot of people talked about the peeving-ness of restricting Stickytab to a 16:9 landscape screen ratio.โ€

NotSuspiciousProgrammer, on Stickytab

In brief

  1. Three streaks past sixty days

    CT5 reached 64 consecutive days, EthanCubes 63 and anushkaa 61. None of the three appear in today's devlog list.

  2. Minecraft mod logs 8.7 hours

    ryan_ put 8.7 hours into Combat Log Minecraft Mod, the third longest session we saw, on three views and no comments. akshnoorbawa2 was next with 4.6 hours on SWAY.

  3. Review pipeline patched overnight

    Word in chat is that hardware projects now skip integrity review entirely and get checked at the YSWS step instead, after some were quietly failing to reach Airtable. A resync button now recovers those, and the zeitgeist check timeout has gone from five minutes to ten.

  4. Stickytab hears about aspect ratio

    NotSuspiciousProgrammer reports that after the project's second ship, a lot of people complained about Stickytab being restricted to a 16:9 landscape screen ratio. Today's devlog on it ran 0.8 hours and drew 20 views.

  5. Most of the queue unread

    Our crawler has covered 6,048 pages of 37,691 tracked, with 31,643 still pending. Everything on this page is what we could see, not what exists.
