- Embed this notice@marine @colonelj I'll also take this opportunity to explain why I added Game Boy support to Soapbox.
There are many reasons. It was fun. it was easy. I'm exploring a theory about the future of Soapbox.
It's called R&D. Highly successful companies such as Nintendo, Google, Apple, Microsoft, and more have entire departments dedicated to doing experiments. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to experiment thanks to my grant, and it's a major reason I left Truth Social (because I couldn't).
I believe that games bring people together. Games should be a part of the social network experience. I want to expand this feature into an Arcade section of Soapbox where users can upload and play games. Creators will be able to upload their own games that people can play and comment on. And I want to attract gamers to decentralized social (isn't that a big audience we have already?)
As for why Soapbox still has bugs - it's because I am just one person. Sometimes it makes sense to move a project forward even while there are still bugs, versus being stuck in one place. When Soapbox becomes a team, the first person I will hire is a talent frontend developer. Please reach out to me if you know a highly skilled frontend developer willing to work for free until we can coordinate pay.
