2.1.5
Hexncoin drops the four apps that had nothing to do with reading a chain or a market: Game Center's eight-game arcade, the Meme app's templates and joke feeds, a standalone JSON workbench, and Educhain's in-app lesson browser. Three of Game Center's games and four of the Meme app's feeds return as desktop widgets instead of full windows, joined by a new Kanye Quotes widget with no app precedent. JSON's tokenizer folds into Text Viewer, which already opened .json files, and Educhain's curriculum moves to /learn/lessons and /learn/glossary on the marketing site, open to anyone without installing anything. The app catalogue drops from 29 to 25 apps; the widget catalogue grows from 18 to 25.

Highlights
- 01
Four apps off a desk built for markets
Game Center, Meme, JSON and Educhain are gone, the only entries in the catalogue with nothing to do with reading a chain or a market. The app catalogue drops from 29 to 25, and each retired id clears itself out of every existing profile.
- 02
Eight new widgets, three of them games
Tic Tac Toe, Memory Match and Reaction Time move from Game Center into standalone widgets, and Meme, Cats, Dad Jokes and Random Joke move from the Meme app, joined by a new Kanye Quotes widget. Digital Clock and Analog Clock also merge into one Clock widget with a variant switcher.

Removed4

- The Meme app is gone entirely, dropping its trending templates, cat pictures and three joke feeds in one window.
- The standalone JSON workbench is gone; Text Viewer already opened .json files and now owns its tokenizer and validation directly.
