Just an update, couple things: I took your feedback and added a guest login to the site to help reduce the bounce. I've also updated the banner with a better 1-liner about the platform. So now dinnertable.chat has a simple progressive

No problem. I started my career in CS with zero knowledge of what I really wanted to do out of college. However back in early 2000s, I was extremely frustrated of how difficult/buggy online banking portals were for managing my finances

"Do what you love" is a common phrase, but I've found an opposite technique. Find the things that bugs you most (that you talk about, focus on, debate about) and allow yourself to become a solution. I've found that the p

Thanks for the feedback- super appreciated! The login/reg system is in need of an overhaul and is the next task on my list. Also, ya, the font choice has made the countdown timer finicky. heh
