Useful on its own merits.
Everybody who's distracted by the name and can't get past it, there's a thread developing here somewhere, where they're comparing it to Bloomberg.
- brendoelfrendo 2mo agoYeah, I think a few of the widgets here are neat and useful. It's not a Bloomberg replacement, but it might be a good replacement for a few tabs? You could get the info elsewhere, but I like this presentation more. Edit: Ah, they're offering a pro subscription. While I appreciate that cloud services aren't free, I'm not sure that I'm willing to pay to replace a few browser tabs. Not for me, but maybe for someone!
- ynac 2mo ago100% agree. It's a fun name, but it ends up begging the comparison. The look and feel of it was an instant download for me. It's actually exactly what I want and even tried / failed to build on my own for years. I'll be supporting this project.
- nancyminusone 2mo agothe name makes it seem like it only delivers bad news
- justsid 2mo agoI definitely assumed it was a Bloomberg terminal for doom scrollers.
- rdiddly 2mo agoYes and with an avian messenger
- Revanche1367 2mo agoVery fitting then!
- rbanffy 2mo agoIt’s not really their fault. It’s just the world we live in.
- fragmede 2mo agoYes it's their fault they chose that name because that's how they feel. Could have called it HappyBloom and gone on a positive vibes instead of being, well, gloomy. Fervo energy is this advanced geothermal power plant that doesn't have the same problems as solar (night) or wind (doesn't work if there's no wind). Fusion looks like won't take another 50 years to happen. The future is as bright or as dark you want it to be!
- rbanffy 2mo ago> HappyBloom But then they'd need to select which news they'd be able to publish.
- m0k167eh 2mo agoditch the name explain where you got the data from else this will just be bit of Bloomberg meme
