Screen-time honesty: what we will not do

2026-09-22 · craft

No streaks, no daily login rewards, no loss aversion, no countdown that punishes absence. A list of dark patterns we refuse.

The temptation

Every one of these patterns increases time on site in the short term. That is exactly why they need to be refused deliberately rather than skipped by accident.

What we do instead

We make the useful state of the site reachable in one tap: the floor, the daily roll, and the shelf you actually play from. Everything else is documentation for the minority who want it.

How you can tell

Watch what the site does when you leave. If it tries to win you back, we have failed. If it quietly loses your session and asks nothing, the design is working.

The cost

We accept a smaller returning number in exchange for a catalogue people can recommend to a friend without a disclaimer.
