Hi! Will there ever be the possibility to share loom patterns on switch? I know on PC you can copy and paste codes, it’s been a bit brutal copying patterns pixel by pixel on switch 😅

Not a dev, but TLDR; not really due to system restrictions on the Nintendo Switch.

The switch doesn't allow for access outside of the system (AKA Discord, or a copy paste esque feature, so there'd be no way to query a database or pull them from somewhere like here). When you compare similar features in other games (Animal Crossing) it needed support from the official Nintendo App and uses QR codes and a mobile app, all which I'd speculate is WAY outside of the purview of a very small indie team, as well as likely outside of what Nintendo would allow as a company.

Nintendo was able to set up this elaborate system for their game...because they're Nintendo and they have all the money and dev time they need for their own stuff with huge wads of cash to run servers for content until those systems go down.
