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.

Paint a falling-sand biome
Mist, light, and board health now feed a tiny sand simulation. Paint materials into the glass, then sling a neon paddle through the grains like a pocket brick breaker.
Recent votes (7h ago) are keeping the plant lively. Backlog has 3 ideas.
Optional mode
Sand Invaders
Cosmic steel is dormant. Enable the mode to invite geometric visitors.
Fusion mini-game
Brick Breaker terrarium
Enable the paddle to ricochet a plasma orb through your sand stack. Use your pointer or ← → to steer; space to serve.

Meet the Glorp Cat
A bioluminescent housecat now naps inside a containment orb to keep watch over feature requests. The glorp ripples when votes land, and the purr softens any backlog panic.
- Cosmic resin, perpetual purr cycle, and a suspicious fondness for ship logs.
- Glass gives it the best view of new ideas—and keeps the glorp splashes contained.
- Approach with snacks, not bug reports.

- Every vote runs through a CAPTCHA to keep the signal clean.
- Requests that lose momentum drift into a spectral graveyard.
Turtle terminal
Run LOGO on the homepage
Write LOGO commands to nudge the turtle across a glassy stage. The origin sits in the center, positive Y goes up, and every line you draw layers into the canvas.
Ready. Pen down with a metallic gold ink. The turtle faces north.

Art Deco Brick Breaker
Every button in the backlog becomes a glass-brick badge. Keep the paddle gilded, launch the obsidian orb, and chip away at the stack—two good hits will shatter any feature.
- Space fires the ball from the paddle.
- Left / Right move the paddle with eased momentum.
- The ball ricochets off the display borders—use them to line up tricky shots.
Buttons bruise on the first impact and collapse on the second. The feed below keeps score of every casualty.
