I never said it was a novel concept or that the functionality is confusing. I just said that it's terrible, which it absolutely is, and your video comparison actually reinforces my point. They could have made this presentation into a 3

I disagree wholeheartedly. This site breaks every UI/UX rule in the book, and in the worst ways. Instead of just letting people read the information at their own pace, they've decided to limit the information to one partial senten

Podcasts book people who are successful, but there are a thousand failures for every success, so you're basing your entire strategy on becoming an outlier. I think you're making a bunch of mistakes in both methodology and philosop

I think you need to reframe your pitch. Your messaging is heavily focused on "not being just another app with points and badges." Yet, the primary mechanism of your app is receiving coins (points) to buy plants (badges), which all

While turning it into a heart may be clever branding, you've only slightly modified a ubiquitous icon representing audio, and countless startups used that before you.

Are you kidding me right now? You suggested we use the densest part of Sweden as a comparison, which is not how comparisons actually work, but I humored you anyway -- and it's still nearly HALF, which makes it not even comparable. So e

by bryans 5y ago
Sure, we can compare city to city, but the comparison instantly falls apart, because that peak urban density is still nearly HALF of Singapore's entire density. There is no universe in which 50% is considered a "minor" differ

It feels like the automatic rotation is a middle ground that isn't going to make either groups happy. It's not realistic enough for the folks who want manual rotation, and it's too realistic for people who just want to put th

by bryans 5y ago
It doesn't makes any sense to compare a country with a population density of 25/km2 to one with 8,358/km2. Also, Singapore's deaths per positive test and deaths per hospitalization are far lower even during the same outb

Walter is right about what, exactly? That heat can be transferred between objects? That heat can be released from objects? Nobody ever refuted those, and those are the only points he has made so far in defense of rocks being a be-all end-al

by bryans 5y ago
Walter, I've already provided you with a mountain of evidence. You pasted a single sentence stating that heat can be transferred between objects, which nobody has ever refuted, and does not factor in any of the actual physics involved

You finally provided some "evidence" and it literally says the opposite of what you're suggesting. I would highly encourage you to keep reading the subsequent pages on that site, because it goes on to explain the reasons why

You need to stop insisting that a wheel has been reinvented with Svelte. It shares 95% of the same DNA as other frameworks, with multiple improvements over them. So with that in mind, what you're actually suggesting is that the existin

This is getting beyond ridiculous, Walter, and you're making things up again. At no point did I or anyone else on the planet ever suggest that heating a rock by 1 degree will release less than 1 degree of heat. As I've explained m

by bryans 5y ago
This is very overdramatic and isn't actually based on reality. Svelte is far closer to vanilla JS/HTML than any other framework, while also using extremely similar patterns from the other modern frameworks. Yeah, it has some sugar

No, Walter, you're confusing energy with temperature. If it takes 1 kWh of electricity to increase the temperature of water by 1 unit (thereby releasing 1 unit of heat to the atmosphere), it takes 3-5 kWh of electricity to increase the
