small bit of feedback, "Rice it until it
feels like yours." is pretty jargon heavy for a landing page, i don't think all that many people outside linux/tech use that term, why not "customize"?
- danielbilekq 2mo agothink that's valid. gonna change that. thanks!
- reaperducer 2mo agoi don't think all that many people outside linux/tech use that term, The term is quite a bit older than today's tech bubble. It came out of hotrod car modification clubs that specialize in Japanese brands. Some consider it pejorative. (See: "rice rocket.")
- brendoelfrendo 2mo agoIt's funny that you say not many people outside of Linux/tech use that term when "ricing" started in car mod culture. It was used to describe the act of customizing your (typically Japanese import, hence the term "rice") car with an abundance of cosmetic mods, without investing in performance mods. So your car would look really sleek and custom on the surface, but it would still drive like a stock '94 Honda CR-X del Sol. Before anyone asks: "race inspired cosmetic enhancement" is a backronym, not the origin of the phrase.
