Eight ships go out, every one a debut

Boilerplater carries 72 logged hours into the queue, the longest of the eight, and none of the day's ships has a multiplier yet.

Every ship we saw on 22 August was a first ship. Eight projects went out, from UNDERTAB at one logged hour to cauadev's Boilerplater at 72, with aatiesh's RFID-Attendance system on 34, luxi's Voxelized on 23 and robopugo's Birb OS on 22 in between. Ratings come days later, so all eight sit without a multiplier or a payout for now.

The rest of the day was thin by the clock: 63 devlogs from 59 authors across 59 projects, 195.3 hours in total, measured at the 07:57 UTC crawl. Debuts made up the whole of the shipping, which is unusual company for a morning that otherwise looked ordinary.

Longest sessions of 63 devlogs

  1. 15.5h jinjin on Friction less
  2. 14.4h Veert on BlackHole

  4. 10.6h ilfattorino on Decimation

In brief

  1. Three streaks past 77 days

    torkel reached 82 consecutive days, Light 79 and devlsx 77. All three were still logging on the day we looked.

  2. Queue splits three ways

    Three of the day's ships are approved, four are pending and Maxye4655's NetWatch came back returned. Returned is a request for changes, not a rating.

  3. Four sessions clear ten hours

    Veert logged 14.4 hours on BlackHole, aryamankumar2403 10.7 on UNIVERSE WEB, ilfattorino 10.6 on Decimation and potionj 10.3 on Audio player. None of the four drew a comment.

  4. Tic Tac Toe gets a brain

    weborbit1980 spent 3.2 hours on Tic Tac Toe and reported finishing a medium-level bot with hand-written decision logic. The screenshot went up the same morning.
