#2891 Log Cabin
I'm sure the building inspectors will approve my design once they finally manage to escape.
https://xkcd.com/2891/
@HumToTable Clean, free, no ads, accessible. It even claims to work with screen readers. Slightly non-standard letter values, but reasonable. For good or ill, the graphics are not as "juicy" as Words With Friends or Scrabble GO.
I've been playing online Scrabble with a relative who uses an Amazon Fire. Although this is an Android device, Amazon has their own app store (which doesn't include the official Scrabble GO app), because chokepoint capitalism.
(I am aware that there is an elaborate workaround for this, but it would involve setting up a gmail account for them.)
So we're sticking with Wordvoyance.

Gradually turning my to-do's in to ta-da's.
Registration for the 2024 US Go Congress (July 13-21 in Portland, Oregon) is now open!
@ZachWeinersmith When you teach the game of Go to mathy types, they inevitably come up with variations. What if we played on a hex grid instead of a square grid? What if the board was a torus that wrapped around? What if the board was 3D?
At the annual US Go Congress, one of the standard events is "crazy go", which tries out some of these variants.
The most bananapants was Team Kriegspiel Go, involving two teams of two players, plus a referee. On your turn, you submit your move to the referee and find out if it's legal. Not only do you not know your opponent's moves, you don't know half of your own moves!

Mastodon folks tend to be pretty tech-savvy, but it's come to my attention that simply not knowing how to get ebooks not purchased from a big retailer onto their e-reader. So I wrote a helpful guide! Share it with someone who wants to support DIY authors and small presses! https://write.as/brendanhalpin/how-to-load-downloaded-books-onto-your-e-reader
