What do you think? …

Five minutes of fun before the garish default background gave me a headache. How is this Twitter for anything?
Sam Mateosian
@frassmith It's like uber for disruption.
Fraser Smith
Oh look, it's not twitter for anything now, it's Instagram for something. Slightly more relevant I guess.
Fraser Smith
@bentossell Yes, I was desperately trying to think up of some smarta** "Something for something else" comments, but I couldn't think of any. :-( BTW: I would totally download an iPad version…
Sam Mateosian
@frassmith @bentossell There is an iPad version - search the app store for trixel.io - it's behind the web in terms of functionality because of app store delays and we're a small team - also is basically the web app wrapped for native so you don't get any performance improvements.

@bentossell @frassmith That makes way too much sense! I was in SF when we first launched and I was telling everyone we were working on "twitter for triangles" - I loved the reaction - it was like "oh, ok... ... ... wait, what?!"

I just discovered that I love triangular pixel art. @semateos how did you get started?

@rometty_ Thanks!! We started trying to build a user-generated 3rd person adventure game - wanted a unifying constraint for the art - ended up with triangular pixels - built a thing to make triangular pixel art. Or did you want me to go back further than that? Like how I started in software dev etc.?
