Usually, my personal projects are web apps, and they're like art projects in that they're rarely finished, only abandoned. Thus, keeping some kind of human-centric list of changes felt unnecessary. Git commits are good enough, sir.
However, on Bogdle, which is as close to an app with a finish line that I have right now, I've decided to try the whole `CHANGELOG.md` thing out: https://keepachangelog.com. Might be overkill, but it's good practice.

Working on #Bogdle v2. It’s gonna have a better localStorage implementation and keep track of more stats. I’m gonna find a better word source, too. It may even actually start to work like Boggle, the game it’s modeled after, instead of just a standard word search.
It will also obliterate any streaks anyone may have since the internal workings are quite different. I’m gonna start the daily counter over at #1 again. If this is a real issue for anyone, let me know ;)

The NYTimes' Spelling Bee is a great word game. My Bogdle word game is also good, but not quite as professional, and maybe not as bug-free and "sticky".
That being said, Spelling Bee really needs a "this is a valid word" CSS class on the guess container BEFORE you submit it.
Psst: https://bogdle.neb.host HAS that feature already ;P

I think I now know why the New York Times game Spelling Bee (which is a neat twist on Boggle) requires at least 4 letters to make a word: there are just too many obscure 3-letter words in the English language.
Note to self: update #Bogdle to do the same.

Just as a reminder, I have a daily Boggle-like web game called Bogdle.
A recently-added feature is the ability to share when you find the pangram (word using all the letters), which is a quicker dopamine hit than finding ALL the possible words.

Current creative projects update:
* #Keebord (neé NebyooKeys) - works! Sounds eh, but works! Still needs more features, but works! Play some piano on the Internet from any browser. You know you want to: https://keebord.neb.host
* #Nebyoodle - guess-the-song web app still in the works, but core features are coming along
* #Bogdle - hopefully a fix I made recently should prevent future updates from killing it randomly: https://bogdle.fun
