What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2010

A conference directory that gathered blog posts, photos and coverage from events, sorted by session and speaker.

Simon Willison and Natalie Downe made it while on honeymoon, and named it after the lanyard round a delegate's neck. Eventbrite bought it in September 2013. It later went read-only and closed, and now redirects to Eventbrite.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
