Live Cursors, Masonry layout, & Drawing Area Come Back (v6.3.0)

Hey everyone!

I'm super happy to announce that Fari App v6.3 is now publically available to everyone!

This update would not have been possible without the amazing support from the Fari App testing team and all the supporters over at Patreon

Now, let's get to what news in the app!

I'm super excited to bring you a feature that's 100% unique to Fari App: .

When a player joins a game, they will be assigned a color and as they move they cursor around, a colored cursor icon will be moving in everybody else's screen.

Not just that, but by pressing on you will open a dialog that let you type message for everyone to see in real time!

On top of it all, the live cursor popup lets you type custom dice command like or or even .

If you move your cursor out of the window, it disappears for everyone and if you stop moving or typing for a couple of seconds, it fades away to make sure everyone can still see what's behind!

Masonry layout, like pinterest is doing, is quite a complex thing to achieve for numerous technical reasons. That being said, I'm very happy to announce that index cards in Fari App will now properly flow from left to right because of an update in one of the core UI library we are using.

Not only that, I've now enabled the scene view to take as much screen as it can letting you have rows with 10 index cards or even more!

I was so happy to bring you all a new an updated drawing area, but its initial release also came with a lot of technical issues.

Now that those issues are resolved, the drawing area is making a comeback on Fari App, better than ever!

The user interface of the characters tab has been revamped so allow everyone to quickly switch between all the characters cards in a very efficient manner!

Hope you like those changes as it took a lot of time to figure out a new and better way to organize this information.
