gollark: Anyway, my project to make yet another hatchery for basically no reason is going quite well. I've gotten some bits finished:- add dragons- remove dragons- list dragonsand many not:- any actual UI for these things (currently have to poke around with the server manually)- some fancy sort-by-neediness-of-views function- authentication by scroll- add by scroll and not code

gollark: Viewbombers of Satan?

gollark: Nooo! How will I get free nebulae and hatch them relatively fast now?!
