       | Not much feedback other than it all looks really good! Great
       | polished landing page and login flow. I'm gonna try this out for
       | our next session!

         | groups, in 5 campaigns now, and everybody in the groups likes
         | using it. The timeline UI is not ideal when you add a whole
         | bunch of calendar entries (a lot of scrolling...) but it all
         | works and will be improved :)

       | thought of using something like this and leaflet (though I have
       | no idea what the fair use provisions are like for published
       | maps). Great job!

       | Written in Svelte 3, it uses Firebase and is hosted on Netlify at
       | the moment. An iOS app was in the works, but due to numerous
       | SwiftUI bugs, it's in the freezer for now.

       | I like the concept. You could expand it quite nicely as you go,
       | putting maps and possibly player icons in spaces on board for
       | saving last positions etc. I noticed there was some stuff not
       | working but i know its early. Maybe have it rely on rock solid
       | data such as firebase or s3 or something to make it more reliant
       | but good start.

         | This is built on top of Firebase :) Curious what didn't work!

         | And yes, it's definitely a plan to have a map with the party
         | position, linked to calendar entries. Like a dotted line
         | showing where you've been over time.

           | early so best of success, good idea.

             | Hm, well that should definitely just work, not sure what's
             | going on. Haven't seen this or heard about this before. If
             | you'd like to share some more details, that'd be a great
