Hi all. We messed up and we're sorry.

Today (4/1/26) at 5am, one of our Product Managers shipped a feature by accident. The team was supposed to build dark mode, but due to a typo, they ended up building "Shadowdark Mode".

Now when you go to the site on desktop and activate "dark mode" you get Shadowdark Mode, where your cursor is a torch and you must find other torches using the clues provided. If you don't find enough torches in time, the darkness will consume you.

We promise to do better.

@HarryMok @sfchronicle @alankennywong @sfc_opinions It’s crazy how obsessed folks are with reopening that strip of road. Parks over cars any day.

[Devon @DevonChulick]

This is exactly why we needed Lina Khan.

If you want original movies to be made, you need to go see original movies in the theater instead of at home on a streamer.

San Francisco is getting a women’s baseball team. Any guesses to what the team is going to be called?

She was able to curate better matches because those who weren't a match self-selected out.

This is exactly what we see on StartPlaying, too.

The most successful DMs make their ideology, vibes, and play style clear, and that attracts the audience they'll succeed with.

[Devon @DevonChulick]

There are a ton of professional dungeon masters on StartPlaying.

Which means I get to see what makes the top ones so successful.

If I had to boil their success down to one thing, it'd be ideology. The best DMs make it incredibly clear what they value and how they play.

[Devon @DevonChulick]

She was a vegan and animal rights activist. She literally wore her ideology on her sleeve.

After doing this, her matches improved!

People who didn’t match her ideological values self opted out.

It was clear what she valued, and those who disagreed, often just swiped away.
