Well, this is a lovely surprise, isn't it? Chill letter writing game Kind Words was a lofi hit back in 2019, encouraging players to share over 5 million anonymous notes of support and, well, kindness since launch. Now developers Popcannibal are back with a full-blown sequel, Kind Words 2 (Lofi City Pop). You're probably thinking, 'How could they possibly have made a sequel to this perfectly formed note 'em up? Have they added emails? Carrier pigeons? Inscribing on stone tablets?' Well, as the reveal trailer below shows, it's gone for more of an Animal Crossing-style city to enjoy, letting you connect with fellow players and express your deepest feelings in new, more directed settings. That's right, it's time to get out of your bedroom and touch some virtual grass.
X rival Bluesky crosses 2mn users! Know its upcoming plans
17.11.2023 - 08:09 / tech.hindustantimes.com
Bluesky, a decentralized social network app was launched this year in February (a simplified portal was initially released in October 2022) as an alternative to X (formerly Twitter). The app has seen massive growth over the months and finally, the platform has crossed 2 million users which is a huge milestone. Going forward, the app has big plans to expand its user base by making the platform available on federation networks, bringing an end to a long period of the invite-only system. Know more here.
According to The Verge report, the Twitter-like social network app has crossed 2 million users just after 2 months of hitting 1 million app audience. The app is also planning to make it available on different platforms by launching a web interface that will allow users to access the app through the website as well. Earlier, only Bluesky app users who were signed in to the app could access the shared links to the posts. With a Bluesky web interface, users will be able to open the posts on the website without having to create an account.
Not having a website created problems for the app to attract a larger Bluesky audience. Now, with plans to announce a web interface, it can be beneficial for the social media platform to bring new users. Bluesky next year will apply for a federation network (also known as fediverse) as it currently runs as a decentralized platform through its AT Protocol. Once the company opens it up, users will be able to freely migrate from other platforms to Bluesky, without having to start from scratch.
Bluesky, in an effort to make the platform more attractive and credible, recently announced various new features such as mobile push notifications, email verification, and accessibility features to enhance the platform's performance. Now, with this new move coming next year, it will gain more user base like Twitter. The app also reached out to journalists and news organizations to manage verifications. Furthermore, it also urges users to share posts and interact on the platform to gain visibility.
