Do you find it easy to find great, honest, and valid feedback on the internet? How much of the supply of great, honest, and valid feedback would you sacrifice in order to make the supply that remains use "less dismissive"[0] langu

Just FYI, I also had trouble finding the github repo. In case it helps, the HN URL lands on the polis page [0], which itself has an `open-source` link[1]. Not finding the repo link on the open source page, I checked the About [2] page and t
