   In Japanese it means mushroom, not sure what else (the nintendo character toad is called kinopio-kun in japan). But really I just randomly stumbled on it years ago and it sounded unique and interesting to me

   I'm still working on the pricing, any suggestions?

   Makes sense. At least in these early days I didn't want to rely on that as a crutch because Kinopio is designed to also work on mobile/touch devices which don't have hover

   browsers natively don't handle huge amounts of nodes as well as native or canvas implementations (which have other downsides). There's def more optimization I can do here though

   Can you let me know more so I can repro? When you navigate from one kinopio page (called a space) to another, the back and forward buttons are supposed to do the right thing

    Hey SamBam, Ya Android is the only platform that currently has this bug (and a couple others). It's hard to diagnose, but I'm working on it. Sorry about that!

    ya somewhere along the way 'productivity' became 'enterprise', a depressing association to tools that are ideally supposed to help you build a better and funner life

    Thanks! I've been working hard on it. I got real tired of hearing how the web is lost, or how you can't have build a real business on the web, unless you sell data and/or have VC, and wanting to build the web app we deserve :

    Oh Hi, I'm the solo creator of Kinopio. Before this, I was the designer and co-creator of Glitch. I'll go through and answer things, feel free to AMA. If you're curious about me or about the process of designing/creating

    that's understandable, and also a harbinger of a future I'd like to help prevent. There's lots of great commercial software that's worth paying for and that isn't made by megacorps

    > people not only don't care about Quality; they are actively hostile towards it. It almost seems to be a race to the bottom. I think this largely depends on industry and platform. e.g. quality isn't how enterprise software is

    I was thinking about that while coming up with the term. IRL 'organic' food labelling has a lot of real problems, some bordering on scam. Despite that, shoppers in a grocery store have generally the same overall idea of what organ

    we don't talk about this enough, or ever, but being retired and building software is kind of like a super power in this case

    thanks I never know how much to self promote on HN :) if anyone else is looking for the mind-mapping software I build, it's at https://kinopio.club and there's no sign up required to use it

    I did this a couple times before building and focusing on kinopio.club full time. In my own personal experience, volunteering only worked with side-projects. If you can do more through volunteering effort that’s very impressive.

    > these days I tend to very cautious about adopting non-organic software I’ve noticed the same thing happening to myself and hope to avoid a future where consumers only feel like they can trust/adopt software developed by FAANG type

    The ‘organic’ term here is referring to funding, not design. That said ‘paving the cow paths’ can be a very effective way to build/design what people want. Another post of mine addresses this directly: https://pketh.org&#x2

    yup that'd be one good option, I'm sure there are others as well. I think fundamentally rethinking the default assumption of investment models from taking many risky bets on 20x-100x return, to taking less risky/more-informed

    Individuals don’t really have lobbying power. It’d be great if we could solve problems like this comprehensively with legislation, but in the meantime shaming a company into doing the right thing is perhaps all that a small but vocal group

    My experiences with the immigration process lead me to believe that immigration policy is more about maintaining status quo systematic-racism for political reasons, than it is about economics
