I'm working on a project within the "Passion Project" called "Intereditor" which contains various tools and decks made using Decker. However, this tool is still under development for the next version, version 0.2.0, which will be released mid-month. I need feedback from several people regarding issues and bugs in this Intereditor so I can fix them and maintain them weekly.

Any feedbacks?
Hey, so it looks like you're basically just bundling up various other decks into one. What raises an eyebrow for me is that the credits don't actually, well, credit any of the people whose decks you've borrowed from. Which seems a bit uncool
It's a bit unclear what the purpose is. Some of these tools don't really make sense accessed through this sort of interface. Like, PublicTransit (which is an out-of-date version here) isn't particularly useful as a tool that you'd access through a menu like this, the point is more to use the transitions in your own work. And Data Pipes is really more of a proof of concept rather than a tool, I'd say. And including the WigglyKit library is, again, odd, since that's more of a component for someone's own decks rather than a tool in its own right. Ditto for the fonts preview, there's not much benefit in just viewing them.
Additionally, it seems that a lot of the tools have broken when they were copied into your deck. Valentine-er doesn't seem to actually generate the card in the end. I'm guessing there were some bits you didn't copy or maybe the card arrangement made things messy? The link to data pipes doesn't even go to the right place, it goes to the spirograph card! Before asking other people to test, it might be a good idea to test yourself.
I'm not really sure what you're trying to achieve here. You're basically bundling together broken and outdated tools in a context that doesn't really make sense. I feel like it would make more sense, if you want access to various decker resources, to link to the live versions from the original creators rather than haphazardly bundling a bunch of cards together in a broken fashion.
Edit: I feel I should also point out that a couple of the art pieces included in the valentine-er app are ones I made, and like I gave IJ permission to use them in valentine-er but I don't seem to recall being asked by you if you could include them here so that's really not cool tbh.
The first issue that I see is that there is a 'Credits' button that doesn't give credit to the people who actually made the various decker examples and resources that you've combined into this deck.
I suspect you don't have permission to republish these works but even if you did have that permission I would consider proper attribution and a link to the origins of each component to be mandatory. It's irresponsible to make yourself appear to be the only source of a resource you're unable to maintain.
Internet Janitor made the majority of the components of this, though other credits should go to woodring and to tangentstorm. (And to Millie Squilly and I , too. Some of our artwork has been copied in as well...)
My main feedback is that you should get proper permission to do this kind of project.
My secondary feedback is that you should take some time to understand the things you've copied in their original context because Millie is correct, many things are broken because they're missing some component or they've been connected together incorrectly.
Have you made things yourself in Decker? It would genuinely be more exciting to see what you've made yourself.
Hey, I saw you put out an update that looks like it removed a lot of the material, but also added a bunch of other decks, that I should remind you, you're not crediting the creators of and likely haven't asked permission. That's really not cool.
I think it's fine if you want to archive decks you find for personal use, although keeping them as separate files may be a better idea since that way they won't break and any deck-level code won't conflict. But it's not a good idea to distribute them like this.
