Hopefully fewer than 5 octillion paperclips...


We definitely need more than that! Turn the galaxy into paperclips!


Well, then, I guess we'll just have to release the hypnodrones.


My favorite is the knobs where some of them you can grab and rotate like they are physical but other ones only react to the vertical position of the cursor so you feel like a crazy person trying to use them


Can I plug https://mydogisthebest.org?

If you're into skeumorphism, you'll love it. I put a lot of care into how the buttons and other elements work and interact with each other.

(It's a free little dog journaling app I created with my partner to help us cope with losing our dog)


Please let a visitor explore (a) what it does, (b) what it actually looks like, before asking them to register. You need to show value before asking for user information even when what you're offering is free.

A 30-second demo video on the landing page would be absolutely fine, or half a dozen large screenshots showing the features.


I agree with your sentiment, but it's totally fine if no one uses it.

It was founder therapy first and foremost (and an exercise in serious play).


well done! very nicew


Thanks, Boris


vercel apps really do have a reputation


Worked like crap on mobile as well.


Yeah it seems like if they wanted to make it appeal to Apple people they would make it more consistent and subtle. It's all so clean and then the numbers look like they came off a special calculator for people with failing eyesight.


Each paragraph on this page uses the body style from style.css.

body { font-family: Georgia, Serif; font-size: 100%; background: #898; margin-top: .5em; margin-bottom: .5em; }

Font size is 100%, so it will respect your font sizing. You might be doing something weird on your end.


https://www.codingfont.com/ is a fun way to compare fonts side by side and see just how similar some of them really are. Also kind of fun to see if your favorite font makes it through a blind comparison bracket.


They are less efficient and require larger/more robust bearings than standard horizontal turbines. They look neat, but a "standard" turbine will produce more power in the same footprint and require less material to produce. One advantage of the vertical axis turbines is that the "business end" is at the bottom, making it easier to maintain without climbing up a tower. They just stink at the one thing they are supposed to do.


This is the dumbest post I've seen on this website. Do you also go into cafes and knock the tip jar off the counter? Or do you just ignore it if you don't want to tip?


Do you want the graphs with 300 squares to be bigger than your screen, or do you want the graph with 1 square to be 30x30 px for no reason? They're just zoomed.


That's what I mean, I can't imagine why anyone would argue the same thing of graphs in general so I'm curious what the difference makes it so they find it so odd in this specific case.


If you set it to custom curve and then set the numbers or ticks to the outside, they go outside of the usable area and get clipped off.
