FYI if your doors make other noises when they open it could be the paint on the inside edge sticking against the frame. In that case, apply paraffin wax to prevent a seal.
Re:Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?

There's a lot of 4x games that factor in unrest / rebellion uprisings as something you have to manage.
I want a 4x game where you play from the side of the unrest / rebellions.

Is there a mechanic I'm missing here? It just looks like sokoban with recursive visuals.
EDIT: Apparently when you exit the side of the level with your character, they appear on that side of the "level" block you are pushing around.
I was also excited to add this, but unlike Worldle it doesn't support imperial units and is pretty unusable on mobile.

Realistically it'll be like this until they get some good competition (if ever) or some laws change

Pretty fun and great for a jam.
I'd prefer holding down to repeat keys, plus a button that basically zips the wire back to the other base as I quit around level 11 due to the monotony of backtracing.

I love the idea of this and echo the comments on good UI, but would need to see more convenience for it to be worth switching from my existing system.
I currently use Workflowy for this, which has web/native desktop apps for easily typing out lists that can be completed on the phone like this, crossing them off in the same way. Workflowy don't have an apple watch app yet though so you have an advantage there.
Also I would change the "crossing out" action to work on clicking anywhere on the row, whereas now it only works on the radio button or label. That's a big pain for right handed people with one-word items.
