I love physical dice too—they're fun, and I own a couple of D&D sets myself, including a custom one.

That said, here’s the thing – physical dice aren't great at being truly random. They’re usually uneven, people tend to roll inconsistently (or even cheat), and there’s limited space when rolling. Plus, you have to carry them around. Dice app will also keeping track of every roll and counting totals.

I believe both physical and virtual dice have value. I’m not against physical dice at all—I still use mine—but I also enjoy the convenience of virtual dice.

Try the app, it is beautiful. I’ve added physics to the rolls and integrated haptics for a tactile experience. I think you might enjoy it after all.

I have had the pleasure of fixing this silly bug in my weather app after switching location input autocomplete provider. I didn't even notice it for a while, but then Stockholm having 20 celsius in winter is unusual.

It is common to see lat/long, but in fairness long/lat makes more sense as it reflects x/y axis.
