Building in the open again... this time a quality-of-life improvement for Expressed.
I built a PWA QR scanner into the relays. "Huh? Why?" I hear you say? Simple idea - the less barriers there are to joining a share, the more likely you are to use the software frequently - having a scanner makes it a few steps easier.
Now, the workflow is:
1. start a session in Expressed
2. pick up phone/tablet, click 'Expressed QR Scanner' - hold up to the screen - done.
It's a whole lot better than pasting links or entering the digits manually - especially after I moved to 8 alpha numeric for security & hardening reasons (that's another post).
Hope you like it!

It s time to clean up - one thing I ve wanted was that the drawing toolbar can collapse on a phone (hamburger only), and snap to an edge so rotate doesn t lose it, and nudge back on-screen if expanding would clip. Quality of life type stuff here.

Well, that's done - detailed post (https://expressed.effective-flow...) - now the toolbar... sucks FAR FAR less.

Writing Expressed took 7 months. With AI. A lot of AI. Why so long? This was an adventure to say the least, and with that in mind I posted a blog with an adventure map, you've got everything - a reluctant hero, monsters, side quests, failures and at the end of it all - triumph! no wait - no resolution whatsoever - this is an ongoing story.
