Could you modify it so each player gets 7 cards? Also it would be nice if when one person is the host, the others could see what the job card is. Also could be nice for everyone to be able to see the 2-card product submissions. Other than that, perfect!

Thank you! I'm always delighted to hear that people are enjoying it.

Changes like this are harder than they sound, because:

I do have some ideas for customising parts of the app, and I'll definitely consider this when I get to that. Working on Quack Stanley hasn't been a priority of mine for a while though! I do keep it running, but with my job and my family I don't get much time for side-projects, and when I do it's usually to work on other things. Hearing from people is a great reason to prioritise Quack Stanley again though, thank you.

Also it would be nice if when one person is the host, the others could see what the job card is.

I think this is a good idea, thank you! Hopefully that would make it easier for people to play.

Also could be nice for everyone to be able to see the 2-card product submissions.

Yeah this is a great suggestion. Do you mean at the end, or as the round is progressing?

One thing I've always tried to stick to with Quack Stanley is that the game happens between the people, not in the phone. I try and keep as little reason as possible to be looking down, so that people are instead engaging directly with each other. It's important to take into account how people are actually using it in practice though, so it's great to hear this feedback from you, thank you. Both the second and third of your points are relevant here. While it's good to keep the screen free of distraction, it's also important to make sure players know what they are doing.

It's very kind of you to take the time to raise these points. I can't promise I'll get to them any time soon, but I will definitely take these into account.

Thank you!
