A little playtest idea for anyone trying this alongside work or study: tuck the boat into a spare corner, resize it to fit your desktop, and adjust the bite interval to a pace you find comfortable. Then leave it running while you do something else and check the field guide when you feel like a break.
I'm especially interested in the desktop-companion side: does the boat feel like a pleasant bit of company, or does it get in the way? If you share feedback, your Mac model, preferred boat size, and whether the fishing pace feels too fast or too slow would be useful. A screenshot of a favorite catch is welcome too!
