Welcome, Noodler! 🎉

Craig here, Your Friendly Neighborhood Chronoodlist.

What do you think: The Chronoodle Times or Noodletter? Tough call. I’m leaning Noodletter.


NEW FEATURE - Loading Screen On Demand

I added a PRIDE flag 🏳️‍🌈 to the loading screen for Pride Month and tried to design an animation that felt both progressive and positive.

What I didn’t expect was a bunch of people hitting refresh on their browser. Maybe a glitch or maybe just to see it again for extra fabulousness? I’m not sure, but I’m here for it.

Either way, I figured it might be fun to see without mashing refresh. So, I added a quick feature I never would’ve thought to build otherwise: the ability to show the loading screen on demand. Just tap the menu icon in the top left and hit “Show Loading Screen.”

🤪 Behind-the-Scenes Chaos

I promised developer insights in this Noodletter, so here you go! Currently in the works is Recent Game History. It will let you easily get back to or catch up on recently missed Chronoodle challenges. Here’s a mockup (I use Figma):

Upcoming Downtime

There will be some brief downtime coming soon while I migrate the Chronoodle database to a more stable cloud host. Since the global economy isn’t depending on Chronoodle (yet) I’m just going to pick a lull and finish the DB migration.

❤️ Love Chronoodle?
