Re: NOW There’s a Weird Deal …

Spy was watching BBC on his boob tube … lo and behold … suddenly without warning Roku Home Screen appeared … spy thought going back to BBC would just mean viewing an unaltered path … two button press maneuver and some MI political type dude is saying the “in God we trust” sign behind the speaker’s desk was hung there in 1962 … Evangelist Brother Wayne from a church founded in 1862 is staying here local tonight … make of this what you will … maybe hangman is in the dictionary … when did that happen … ++ …

This repository has no account, verification, room, or leaderboard backend. Which scope should I build for Hangman’s Gallows?

That adds a friend-challenge flow: a member sets a word and invites a specific person to guess it. A genuinely hidden answer needs a server-backed invite token; putting the answer in a share link would make it visible to anyone who inspects the URL. I’ll treat member invites as future backend work and continue with the local release, unless you prefer a clearly labeled casual link whose answer is not private.

Added Game Town (`#/town`) and Hangman’s Gallows (`#/hangman`). The game includes six-mistake play, keyboard/touch letter input, timer, hints, three difficulty bands and color themes, and locally saved player/word practice ratings. Game Town searches the bundled games and words and offers a sortable local player/word table. Verified-member search, shared rankings, and member-created word invitations are explicitly marked as backend-dependent; no insecure answer-in-URL invite was added, per your choice. Updated README. All 35 tests and the production build pass; locally verified both routes and search behavior. Changes remain local and have not been deployed.

Added a client-side Hangman word safety screen in `src/hangmanModeration.ts`. It blocks a defined set of English profanity, normalizes accents and common leetspeak, validates word shape/length, filters words from game selection and Game Town search, and rejects unsafe entries passed directly to game creation. Tests cover profanity variants, false positives, malformed inputs, and dictionary filtering. All 40 tests and the production build pass. This is a limited client-side filter—not comprehensive, multilingual, hate-speech, or adversarial moderation; member-submitted words and private invites still need authoritative server-side moderation. Changes remain local and are not deployed.

For the Apple integration, what do you mean? Apple doesn’t provide a general social-posting API, so this choice determines the right approach.

What newsletter cadence should I plan around? I’ll avoid scheduling automatic sends without an approved editorial cadence and consented subscriber list.

Besides Pinterest and Sign in with Apple, which social channels should the redesign prioritize?

I recommend Pinterest Save + Facebook Share links, an Instagram “Copy link” action (Instagram has no generic web-share endpoint), and preserving the existing App Store download link. Apple Sign In should wait for a server-side identity provider and Apple Developer setup; the current site has no authentication backend. Shall I use this integration scope?
