Can we please all agree to stop marketing our low-effort side projects like they were SV companies? The about page on this makes me puke.
@carbon_app -- bro, you're not an app! You're barely more than some JS on a page.
"Carbon is used by thousands of developers daily, including experts at..." -- 99% sure this is a lie. "Puffery" if we want to be charitable
"carbon" -- for chrissake "carbon" has like 50 meanings in computing. Name collide much? Did the author even bother to care?
"Beautiful" -- stop using this word. Nobody in computing seems to know what it means and we've cheapened its meaning to whatever stupid colorful, excessive-whitespace, overly-padded pile of crap that floats our way. Formatting that impresses snobby, wannabe graphic designers and clueless executives is not "beautiful", it is "trendy" or "contemporary" at best
