Awesome job! Very clever :)
After seeing it working and the few clever lines of code I was really surprised.
But then I though: oh, let me go back to HN and read the comments from people saying "BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE CHARTS!!!" and unfortunately comments like that are here. What is wrong with this poeple???
- icoder 13y agoApart from the fact that I think (as far as the comments that are on now) you are exaggerating quite a bit with "BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE CHARTS!!!", I also think there's no need to suggest that there's anything 'wrong' with those people. There's the downvote button if something is really not fruitful for discussion (remember though discussion is - to a respectful extent - often enriched when people differ in their views and opinions on a subject). I don't see why every thread on HN needs a top level comment that meta-discourages criticism.
- goshx 13y agoI still don't have the down vote option :( And the reason why I point these critics out is that they are simply not reasonable if you know what is happening there. Perhaps having a top level comment like this may actually encourage them to think twice or try to learn before commenting? But you know, maybe this is just a mirror to what happens almost daily in companies where there are non-technical people making decisions. Imagine this "excel-like app" being presented by the author to his boss, a non-technical person, as something extra that he built and is all excited about. There is a good chance that his boss will make the bad comments that it is lacking a lot of features. That is probably why these people make such comments: they don't have a clue of what is going on.
