Bubblelicious & Clique Updates
Posted on 26 Aug '26 filed under Aquarel.nu, Bubblelicious, New
A somewhat overdue update, but I had actually opened a boba clique a few months ago. I held off on mentioning it because I wasn't particularly satisfied with the previous design and wanted to refine it before giving it a proper update. If you're fond of boba or bubble tea, feel free to join the Bubblelicious clique.
Aquarel.nu — Network Updates
I've also been working on a few things behind the scenes for Aquarel. I've coded our own tooltip script, Lumina, which I'll be gradually rolling out across the Celestial Oracle Studio to replace the former qTip system. Having our own implementation gives us more flexibility and lets the interface feel more distinctly ours. I've also created Copia, a copy-and-paste script that replaces manually highlighting code in a textarea with a simple button. One click copies the code instantly, making the process considerably cleaner. We've also streamlined the rules so they're concise, readable, and easier to take in. The idea is to provide the necessary information without making the rules feel like an obstacle before someone can join.
These are small changes, but I think they're worthwhile for making our cliques feel more unique and distinctive rather than seeing the same conventions found elsewhere.
