polym··on Ohmu – View space usage in your terminal
Yeah, the graphical effect of ohmu flashed me there for a second, but in the end I did install ncdu. ncdu is my replacement for "du -sh * | gsort -h" on OSX - with extra features such as traversing through directories, seeing empty files adhoc and deleting directories/files. I don't see the advantages of ohmu, except that it looks nice.
polym··on 100M games played
Ha, I remember that some years ago I've found a silly bug that allowed you to take over white's session and play for him by just changing the url token (lichess.org/<token>). I had my fun for a handful of games, then reported it. Unfortunately, I don't know anymore why or how it worked - Maybe the creator can remember and explain it :). Crazy, how the UX changed over the years. Good job!

If you have any suggestions/issues/feature requests, just open a new issue :)! I'm happy to implement more, if it can help you!

I agree, these monster are just not made for carrying around - you would have to hold them all the time or store them in a bag.

Wow, according to Wiki the iPhone 6 Plus is even taller! The Galaxy Note Edge is slimmer, though.

I wouldn't buy it, can't carry it around - forget cycling.

The iPhone 6 Plus is just too big - as big as my hand. I bet, you can't sit down with this monster in your pocket. Stop making it wider and higher!

There is only one way out! (ctrl+d) :D.

Good to know I made you smile!

If just one bored soul is happy with this game for just 5 minutes, that'll make the time spent worth it :D!

I wrote this game in shell, because I was bored. It interprets the keycode of the pressed key on your keyboard and plays a mp3. Simple, but fun :).
