A word cloud or some stats is a great idea!
My only feedback is just that the homepage had a lot of elements that distracted me initially - I wasn't sure if I had to type something (the input examples changing all the time made me think it was important to fill it out)
I ended up clicking "Start Game" on a whim and was glad that I could check it out immediately. Maybe make the "I just want to play now" option/button/CTA larger/more obvious (i.e. giving it more focus)?
To test it again, I just typed some words in the input bar, it forced me to login, I chose the Google login, I was then brought back to https://endless-wordsearch.com/#/sso-callback but the top right button still says Sign In, and my input was lost. So I assume the login didn't work?
I typed my input again, a popup appeared (mentioning Clerk)... then it finally logged me in. Now I'm back at the homepage, and my input has been lost again :-)
I typed my input a third type, and now I'm getting "Generation failed".

Stellar work!
I ordered a pair of "Cheap Yellow Displays" (ESP32-based, ~$15 each) and the idea came to me to pretend like I could punch a "hole" in my monitor - to make it "transparent" in a few places so people could see what I was working on. A bit of Arduino code, Python + serial wrangling, and I got to a working prototype. (two, actually)
Is there any interest in a small USB-driven display? I'm curious! Cheers, don't hesitate for any questions.
A note/question to other macOS users:
I have "Require password after screen saver begins" turned on.
I realized that because of this, when my screensaver is on, ssh keys with passphrases (stored in my Keychain) would not work, which would lead rsync to fail.
I ended up using a dedicated passphrase-less ssh key for rsync. Not ideal.
Are there workarounds to have backups run while my computer is "idle'ing"? Thnaks!

Disco's a project made by my friend Antoine Leclair and me. It's been discussed on HN recently - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45661253
Let me know if you have any questions
You can also play around with a real shared containerized machine here: https://ghostty.ondis.co/
Stellar work, Kyle! Cheers
cheers, 3d is glorious.
But I'm sure it's more complicated than that. :-)
Thanks again
If you don't mind humoring me (I'm quite the novice in this field), if I automated the recording of "all" possible positions for a spring (say I had a motor positioned in a way that would let me pull the spring in any polar direction), would that make modeling potentially easier?
There might be a "train an AI, here's 1000 recordings" angle, but I'm not necessarily interested in/asking about that.
Just strictly for modeling, would it help the R&D phase to have a lot of high sample rate recordings? Thanks a lot!
P.S. Also, if you have a good intro to DSP class/book, I'd love to hear it. I know about a few, but a recc is always appreciated
Thanks
