I wonder what today's equivalent is?
- magic_beans 7y agoToday's equivalent is scanning a QR code with your phone.
- pmlnr 7y agoNot of cuecat literally; the failure of cuecat in 2019.
- libria 7y ago(following this tangent) My impression of QR's problem was: 1) High ergonomics barrier; the user needed to install a QR app from the appstore or find the icon for it and start it. 2) People who are not on HN don't know what it is anyway. Now that it's built in to most Android/iPhone cameras, #1 is solved. Now that #1 is solved, #2 is self-solving. QR gets a lot of jank but when I use it, it's very handy.
- bduerst 7y agoProbably more accurate an analogy than you think: https://picturesofpeoplescanningqrcodes.tumblr.com/ https://picturesofpeoplescanningqrcodes.tumblr.com/
- k1t 7y agoRather than pressing a button when you run out, I think (totally anecdotally of course) people just use subscriptions. Send me 12 rolls of kitchen roll, every 3 months, a bag of cat food every month, etc..
