absolutely what I came here to post, props to the kid for this. I am sick of companies like pretending like their app will "change the way people <whatever>". No it absolutely will not. It's a runaway success sexting app, or a runaway success "stupid game" - just admit it and I'll respect you more for it!

I recently saw Phacility's copy (company behind Phabricator code collab tool), and I tell everyone about it: "Phabricator, except you pay money for it." Actually, the entire Phabricator (http://phabricator.org/ http://phabricator.org/) site is so anti-business-y it's delicious. The bottom of the page links to Pokemon. I realize it's just it's own sort of marketing aimed at people like me, but it is worth pointing out.

  More Phabricator goodness: - When closing a ticket, you can choose 'Resolved', 'Invalid', 'Wontfix', or 'Spite'. - When choosing custom permissions for an object, you can choose allow/deny 'when the moon' 'is full'/'is waning'/'is waxing'/'is new'. - Submission buttons for text fields are sometimes 'Submit', and sometimes 'Clowncopterize' or 'Avast!' or something equally ridiculous.

  > The bottom of the page links to Pokemon I love that, but I wonder if those unrelated links could lower SEO rating slightly. I'm half-joking.

  About 50% of the bullet points on the site are great too: Under "Actively Developed": - Most patches make it better. - Only some break it. - Written in PHP so literally anyone can contribute, even if they have no idea how to program. - Even babies and dogs can contribute. Or under "Track bugs": - Keeps track of bugs. - You can assign them to people. - Maybe you could fix them eventually. (optional)

Agreed. I own a stupid website that's getting some attention recently. it's so much easier talking to reporters and other interested parties when i'm not pretending it'll have any impact beyond making some people laugh and perhaps cringe.
