The Real Neighbors v1.5.0
Aesthetics & Minigames Update!
"Racing ghosts, cracking trivia, hacking terminals, and floating in the northern lights."
✨ What's New
🎮 The Neighborhood Arcade is Here!
We just dropped an entire suite of 4 fully-featured minigames to test your skills and challenge your friends.
- TypeRacer: Flex your typing speed across Words, Quotes, Timed, or Zen modes. Race against your friends' best times ("Ghosts") in real-time, see live WPM graphs, and customize your caret and sounds!
- Wordle (Neighborhood Edition): A daily word puzzle with custom word packs. Guess the hidden word in 6 tries and share your color-coded grid to the feed!
- Brain-Busting Trivia: Test your knowledge across multiple categories (Gaming, Programming, Pop Culture, etc.) with a timed countdown and dynamic scoring system.
- Reflex Tester: Pure, raw reaction time. Wait for green and click as fast as humanly possible to secure your spot on the millisecond leaderboard.
🏆 Global Leaderboards & Game Feeds
- Weekly Leaderboards: Every game is tracked. Compete for the #1 spot every single week across all 4 games.
- Sub-Categories: Filter leaderboards dynamically to see who is best at specific modes (like TypeRacer's Words vs. Quotes).
- Bragging Rights: New "Share to Feed" modals let you instantly post your high scores, personal bests, and Wordle grids directly to the community feed.
🎨 The "About" Dashboard
We completely ripped out the boring old About tab and built a sleek, modern dashboard that looks incredible in both light and dark modes.
- Creator Card: A stunning developer profile card with an animated gradient border and quick links to Github and Wallet.
- Live App Stats: Watch the community grow in real-time with live counters for total users, messages sent, events hosted, and games played.
- Barkada Rules: A fun, hacker-terminal themed section laying down the core laws of the group.
- Tech Stack Grid: Interactive pill cards showing off exactly what powers the app beneath the hood.
🌌 Next-Level Animated Backgrounds
Your personalized aesthetic just got a major buff with tons of new dynamic background controls.
- Ultimate Control: We added precision sliders for animation Amount, Intensity, Speed, and Angle so you can tune your vibe exactly how you like it.
- Slider Styling: The Settings sliders now have a gorgeous custom styling that feels incredibly premium.
- New Pattern: Added an extra, brand-new background pattern to balance out the dynamic visuals!
🛠️ Bug Fixes
- Fixed the AI rate limiter being way too aggressive and arbitrarily choking Botbot AI responses.
- Fixed the "Northern Lights" background getting awkwardly cut off at the top and bottom of the screen.
- Fixed the "Floating Dust" animation which was straight up refusing to float.
🚀 Improvements
- Game Library Filters: You can now easily sort the games page by Mobile Compatible, Word, Trivia, or Reflex categories.
- System Settings: Refactored the entire About page to strictly use semantic CSS variables, completely stripping out all hardcoded styling for seamless Light/Dark mode transitions.
- Codebase Health: Passed the app through a rigorous TypeScript and ESLint sweep, wiping out all unused variables, optimizing React rendering loops, and fixing strict typing errors for a pristine build.
🔮 Coming Soon
- 🤖 Smarter Botbot capabilities and group chat integrations.
- 🏅 Badges and achievements for the ultimate gamers in the group.
- 🎨 Even more UI polish and buttery smooth animations across the app.
- 📱 More Mobile Compatibility Updates.
