Are some old facers around?

I have left facer several years ago, but now I want to get myself another smartwatch and of course use facers for all these awesome watch faces! I was wondering if there were any old facers around, still trying to make a living on here :slight_smile: i think about andrei a lot, who was also a designer and left us too early.

For all new facers, are you still on slack? Is that still a thing?

I’m still here ever since 2019, but a LOT has changed since then. Facer is almost totally different from what it was when I started.

I dont know if you were around when they intoroduced shaders and sounds (partners only features and not supported by WFF).
Nice new feature is the selection of multiple layers for moving around the list.
More partners (in two recent batches).

Some of us have been around since not long after Facer started (minus life-related breaks) :smile:

Hi @William
I’ve been around 4 years now, so not really an old facer.
But to your question. There were a few new things that were introduced:

  • UV index: #WUVI#, which is not documented in the tags list
  • #DISLEAPYEAR#
  • and I think there were improvements done concerning the moon tags

New functions/expressions:

  • pad
  • toFixed

And as mentioned, for partners they introduced shaders and sound. I did not explore these as the new Google OS WFF has limited a number things among these as well.

If you intend to get a new smartwatch, it will most likely be one of the newer generations, so yuo’ll have to have a look at what is compatible here.
