Re: BobaVim — I built a browser game to help you speedrun Vim motions (solo + 1v1 modes)

Hi,
thanks, that looks quite nice. But I found the start screen
started a bit confusing, as I didn't know what to do there (e.g. what is
the difference between Play and Play online, what are those Boba
icons?). Also not clear why I should create an account.

You may want to share to the wider community using reddit (/r/vim).

Thanks,
Chris
