  • yes, i think flappy bird had a really elegant onboarding/tutorial:

    1. main menu screen, tap to start
    2. the tap flaps the bird
    3. you fall to the ground, learning that you need to repeatedly tap to fly
    4. before any obstacles appear, you get some time to calibrate your rhythm
    5. obstacles start appearing and the game starts











  • if you can afford the hardware, getting something dedicated like a JetKVM is nice because you don’t have to wait for VNC software to boot. since it acts like a monitor and keyboard, you can even enter BIOS with it. JetKVM sells an extension board that you could hook up to your server motherboard’s power buttons to turn it on/off too.

    for fully software solutions, i like using apollo on the server and moonlight on the clients. it’s built for game streaming, but it works for remote desktop too. i have apollo and moonlight installed on a bunch of my devices anyways so this saves me from installing an additional client most of the time.
