Beautiful. Really feels 'alive'! Impressive how many species of bird you've got here.
When I built something similar – http://alsjeditleest.be (messages in a bottle for Dutch speakers. Never really took off.) – I spent a decent amount of time researching automatic content moderation. Looks like you could some here as well. Mistral has a free moderation endpoint with ZDR. Can definitely recommend it!
Two feature requests:
- I want to be able to click away the message window without making the bird leave
