This is pretty cool. Unfortunately it's coupled with some of the more obnoxious documentation I have seen recently. While the docs aren't very long, I had to read through a third of it to figure out simply what Spark is.
I'm all for being cute, but it shouldn't come at the cost of a basic understanding of what the program actually does and is useful for.

- bitops 15y agoIn all seriousness: some folks on HN (not all) seem to be the guard in the center of the panopticon. If you could see a list of who downvoted you, I'd bet that something interesting would happen. I almost expect to come back and see my karma drop as a result of this comment.
- SquareWheel 15y agoI think having downvotes public is an intersting idea. It would certainly force people to justify their downvotes, anyway.
