Motecraft

Hello, Motecraft

Why I'm building a small box of tactile wonders, and what's coming first.

Most "relax" apps are dressed-up games. Streaks, coins, leaderboards, push notifications. That's the opposite of what I want from a fidget. I want to put it down.

Motecraft is a small box of tactile wonders. No score. No account. No timer. Open the app, tap a thing, watch it move, close the app.

Lotus Breath — one of the launch experiences.

Each experience is a few hundred lines of Canvas code:

Canvas { context, size in
  for petal in petals {
    context.rotate(by: petal.angle)
    context.fill(petal.path, with: .color(petal.color))
  }
}

That's it for v1.
