"I was then greeted with the most horrifyingly ugly thing that I had yet seen - even worse than Linux. After closing the worthless "tip of the day" window, I was apparently sent to my home screen." Is the OP suggesting this guy developed mental illness because others didn't appreciate his work? I find it's very important to recognize what you're trying to achieve when you show your work to others. If you want honest feedback, be prepared for honesty. If you want to "show off" be prepared to be disappointed. Noone has any idea how hard you worked.. the exception would be others who have accomplished similar things to you have - which is why ASK HN posts are useful, people here for the most part appreciate what you've done, even if it's no use to them.
