Adopt a Shimeji-style board assistant

A tiny mascot now roams the viewport, perches on feature stacks, and chats about whatever part of the board you're visiting. It hitches a ride on buttons, follows your cursor, and nudges you toward the backlog when votes slow down.

  • Walks the screen edges and hops between anchors like the terrarium, feature buttons, and scoreboard tiles.
  • Speaks in floating speech bubbles whenever you hover, click, or summon it near a section.
  • Responds to nearby elements with spark trails and a curious wobble when you linger.
  • Spend buddy coins on ribbons, snacks, or tools—they mirror your balance but never touch your real account.
