great details in the floors and walls. the longer I look, the more I appreciate.
actually, the longer I look, the more I appreciate original posts. this recent explosion is borderline spam. we're one step away from being flooded with people posting pictures of boxes. time to test these filters.
spam is whatever an individual deems it to be. if 90% of posts from the last week are from one user, I call that spam. I don't want "content" for its own sake. I prefer quality or originality over quantity.
side note: reddit stomped the individualism out of their users, the very source of their success. like others have said here, I'm not interested in seeing posts from there copied to here.
I'd like to see more engagement and interaction on here, I want this place to grow, but I also don't want this place to only try to imitate the reddit board. I'm sure I come across as 'old man yells at clouds,' that's fine, whatever. however, I think most people here would agree that there needs to be a balance. why even come here, if everything is copied and regurgitated from reddit?
But that's the whole point. If you filter me, then you won't see the next post that would show you some creation similar to this Hidden Sakura.

I would more than happy if other users would join posting too. 2 posts a day seem reasonable.

It is not. The Hidden Sakura post, the Red London Phonebooth, and the Mirrorhelm posts are not on Reddit, I found them on the fansite I link in the body of the posts.
I think I see where you come from, but I don't think what I'm doing is that detrimental.
I built a Lego kit recently, for literally the first time in 3.5 decades of life (we had a huge box of Lego growing up, never any kits or sets). I took such pleasure from seeing all the creatively-repurposed parts, but I was really surprised by some of the colors they used for internal components and other little things. I had no idea they made Lego in those colors, much less that there are variously-colored internals on big kits.
I had white, black, yellow, blue, green, red, and clear, and that was it. And sure it makes a ton of sense that they have a bunch more colors but.. still.. mind blown.
The flip clock seems very much like a LEGO Ideas set, I would be surprised if they don’t develop that one. The JWST is cool and they’ve made more than a few space themed Ideas sets but it would take a fair bit of refinement I think to get the part count and price point right on it and it looks like it might benefit from some custom elements for the mirrors which seems to make it an unlikely pick unfortunately.
Interestingly there’s been a bunch of Phinas and Ferb sets voted up the last few periods, it seems like there’s certainly a market for that as a full line and they already work with Disney for licenses all the time.
Maybe you could use pybricks (for coding in pythona as the name suggests)? It seems to flash the brick with new firmware but according to them it's easy to restore.
EDIT: apparently pybricks does block programing as well
I personally don't have a BOOST but instead an ev3. For my beloved ev3 I've been using ev3dev, which runs Linux on the ev3 brick. But from what I know the BOOST barely has any processing power of its own so something like that would (probably) not be possible for the BOOST.
