I made a simple open-source letter editor inspired by Animal Crossing NH. Took me forever to look over each card, but I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. You can even click the bottle in the bottom right to see a random letter design shared by other users! Now to see how long it stays up...

This was really fun, and instantly brought me back to my island. The share message function is also super cute, but looking at the code, all the bottle messages seem to be preprogrammed in bottles.json?

I guess moderation would be a nightmare. Are the bottle messages actually stored or sent anywhere?

The messages are suspiciously wholesome, I don’t think they are from other users at all.

Yeah all the messages you get are preprogrammed from a bottles.json file. At first I was pleasantly surprised at how wholesome the messages were..
