Is the plan to monetize this with paid 'gear' upgrades & 'claiming'? Feels a lot like an NFT project from 3 years ago.

Using a subdomain as a file URL feels vaguely wrong and I don't think it's very clear to the recipient what they're actually clicking on, but the UX is at least smooth. I don't think /file/[keyword] would be th

I also don't understand having a search interface not front-and-center and under the weird sub-brand of "SepiaSearch".

I think the 360 backwards compatibility is a mix of emulation and certain parts being disassembled & recompiled for x86 with some black magic. edit: Here's an interview with platform lead Bill Stillwell that goes into a lot more de

Fandom.com's UI somehow continues to get worse every time I have to use it.. On a mobile browser it's not even obvious what the purpose of the wiki even is, just showing a grid of Trending Articles with the actual main page hidden
