Curious - there are a lot of ways to say the terminal "so." I would have thought that ellipses (so...) capture the affect with which most people deliver it, but the hard stop actually adds a nice twang to it. I imagine the speaker quickly saying it, pursing their lips slightly and tilting their head to one side while maintaining eye contact with the other party in the conversation.
But yeah, totes agree on the design/aesthetics. It's pretty 2008 freeware-tier.

- jrochkind1 12y agoHeh, I like the effect too. It's more like "So, there's that." or "So, there's that, then." then the more questioning "So..." . I find "So." to be more effectively sardonic without using the tired trendy "So, there's that."
