It seems that some people want less profanity and some want more. It might be useful to let all the text on the page be user-editable. That way they can choose the exact phrase that would have the desired emotional impact on them (and anyway, why tight-couple the tech and the copy?)
For instance, my first language is Hindi, and English four-letter words just sort of slide over me without making much of a dent. I had to 'inspect element' on the h1.tagline containing 'Just F* Do It Now' and change that to something in Hindi before it really made sense. Good job, by the way.
- espinchi 14y agoMy first thought was "good joke". But I think you're actually serious! I think the key difference between this web app and just a timer is precisely the message. Some people find it funny that it uses some profanity. I were the author, I'd focus on those, and just accept the fact that they'll lose some users that would've liked a different choice of words.
- kranner 14y agoI was being serious, but that's up to the author of course, if they do indeed want to focus on the (for lack of a better term) South Park enthusiasts.
