@kottke.orgReposted by @stfj.netI played (not) solitaire for more hands than I would care to admit. “A multiplayer game where the multiplayer was about companionship, empathy, and comfort, instead of competition or even interaction.” [notsolitaire.com]
@stfj.netWe are still seeing how it goes over time and talking about possibilities
@stfj.netWe added an option to limit your own plays per day if that is helpful
@stfj.netjust passed 200,000 wins on (not) solitaire! pretty uh wild y'all.
thanks for the mentions @andrewrweb.bsky.social and @doctorow.pluralistic.net ! im so glad all you are enjoying it!
@stfj.netwe added an option to limit yourself
@orta.ioReposted by @stfj.net400+ concurrents on notsolitaire.com - pretty wild to see so many folks playing. P.s. you can change your avatar by clicking on an emoji from an achievement you've unlocked.
@stfj.netThanks!
@stfj.netAh sorry! We’re exploring some other experiences too! We’re currently considering putting in a deal limiter per day for people who would get use out of that kind of thing
@stfj.netTry your best to hang onto your flipflop skills a few more weeks 😎
@stfj.netNot at present but it makes a great pwa
@stfj.netIt’s a lot! I took some inspiration there from a game called RNGdle that really impressed me. I was going to write about it in the note but it didn’t quite fit in
@stfj.netholy moly y'all got 11,000 wins and 180,000 achievements in the first 4.5 hours. solitaire is alive and well in 2026 ♥️🫡

@orta.ioReposted by @stfj.netWelcome back to the week, for folks who might have missed it. I've been working on allowing 3rd party games on @puzzmo.com this year and we're opening the doors just an inch to test the waters for this week
@orta.ioReposted by @stfj.netNew blog post: On realising I need to evaluate my engineering principles in a post-LLM world
This year, I've come to understand that the values (which have paid off incredible dividends) for the last decade aren't as applicable today as they were
 because it's a git repo. I think the removal of the engineering principles isn't some ominous mark against the current day Artsy dev team, but I wonder if they just spotted a cultural change before I noticed it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:t732otzqvkch7zz5d37537ry/bafkreihsn3vbbj6kxmkfq4za3trz3dbuvcj3xcghcjip2i2w2wogkpzxwq@jpeg)
