>549 github stars

>buymeacoffee: Be the first one to support underpig.

What am I missing?

diegotundra•5mo ago
Most of those stars are from when I released the (very early) demo version v0.1.0. I've added the support buttons only very recently with the first official release v1.0.0.

Hey, congratulations on the big release!

I was thinking why not make it a standalone full-screen app, desktop or web, but there's definitely something special when it's on your homescreen. You become attached to it, instantly. Like if this wallpaper has always been there. Maybe it's the process of installation, and some work required on your part to do, and then that little anticipation while it's getting installed. Haven't played desktop games for a long time but had the same feeling of excitement to finally see how it works. And it didn't disappoint!

I've been mostly chilling in the clouds since the installation. Look Ma! I can fly!
