Looks like a good project. I really don't want to just add negativity, but it does seem like most interfaces that emphasize how apparently beautiful or "gorgeous" they are, just aren't. The graphs look fine, the app looks ok, but I wouldn't do a double-take if I saw it walking down the street. I guess it turns me off from trying it, because the language provokes me to agree or disagree, rather than developing that impression myself, and most of the time I disagree much like I probably would if someone asked me out by telling me how good looking they are.

- brailsafe 5y agoAbsolutely. That seems like it would be a source of constant anxiety. The corollary to this, as I've come to find, is just being completely ambivalent to how you compare to anyone, which sort of dismantles the extrinsic force of hierarchy to greater or lesser benefit.
