f.lux is just a feature, not a product.
Browsers are just a feature, not a product.
Applications are just a feature, not a product.
Operating systems are just a feature, not a product.
Depending upon your POV, just about everything can be dismissed as "just" a feature.
- r00fus 11y agoUntil f.lux becomes a platform just like browsers, applications (see Photoshop) and operating systems, yeah... it's just a feature. No one is writing stuff for f.lux.
- tekromancr 11y agoNo, it's an application. Applications aren't necessarily platforms. By your logic, Super Meat Boy is a feature.
- coldtea 11y agoWell, you can take it to ridiculous levels calling everything "just a feature". But that doesn't change the fact that some things, like word count or auto-adjusting color temperature, are at the end of the feature-product spectrum, and are better off as "just features". That doesn't mean someone can't try to sell a dedicated program based on just those things. But nobody should be surprised if other programs or OSes incorporate the same stuff as merely a feature they offer.

- coldtea 11y agoThat's from the Guardian newspaper -- it's their word count component from their online site that they give the source as open source.
