This immediately endeared the creators to me. The new design is not even too heavy or flashy or anything, but the empathy in saying "hey, we understand the old design might have worked better for you for whatever reason, here you go" is lovely.
I encourage anybody that likes geometry and puzzles to give modular origami a try. You just need lots of little pieces of paper, and some patience. Then you end up with fun little desk ornaments: https://wonger.dev/assets/origami.jpg
