This is cool.

But it trivializes a lot of stuff. Maybe go all in on the satire.

VC Bro simulator.

From this you'd think that you can just make up ideas all day and someone will give you money.

What email address should I use to send you an invite?

Looks fun, I’ll give it a try.

Design is slick. I like the sloganeering ticker tape. Wish it had dark mode.

Core_Dev · 22 days ago
Great idea, I hope to implement a dark mode. I don’t use it myself, but if there is a request, why not?

Don’t care if it’s vibe coded, love the raw and unapologetic aesthetic

Thanks for checking it out. Glad I'm not the only one.

This is so vibe coded, I can't even look at it.

I'm sorry if I upset your peace of mind.

I promise not to do it again.

The UI is hard on the eyes. I tried using it but felt overwhelmed by the design. Feels like I’m working with an IRS form.
Core_Dev · 22 days ago
Thanks, I adjusted the brightness after your comment.

As for the design, it's a matter of taste; mine might be different from yours.

Have been having fun on here for some 10 minutes now. Not interested in the gamification, but I like the flash-card-esque, short lessons and the interactive tests.
Core_Dev · 22 days ago
Thank you. This is really cool to read.

I like the concept, but density of the text and awkward UX are keeping me from engaging deeper.

There should be one (and only one) obvious button to advance the flow at all times. For instance:

* I took the “test” before realizing the topics were clickable.

* after getting a test question right at the end of a section, my “reward” was another wall of text explaining the question I’d just gotten right. Confusing and off-putting.

Thank you, your comment is truly valuable to me.

I understand exactly what you mean, and the first thing I'll do is improve the user experience so this doesn't happen.

I saw the user journey differently, and it seemed clearer to me.

The whole UI is a mess IMO. Words put on new line while 40% is still available on a macbook 16'.

One letter of the second title is put on a new line as well in "Transformation".

Looked through 3-4 articles. The content is rather shallow and written in a way that wants to be 'different' and edgy but does not convey any confidence to me.

For those reasons, I'm out.

Core_Dev · 22 days ago
Thank you. Yes, I noticed this bug after your comment. I have a larger monitor and simply didn't notice it.

I've already fixed it.

As for the way of writing the content, it may not suit you, I intended it this way from the start, and that’s how it should be.

You seem to be well intentioned, but you are really not doing beginners a favour by feeding them AI slop. I would not expect introductory material to be useful to me, but my point is that given there is plenty of educational content written by experts providing a low quality alternative is harmful. I feel sorry for people who waste time trying to learn from this site.
Core_Dev · 22 days ago
Okay, you can see this however you want.

I'm completely transparent and showing you all the project's work in detail, and I'm not asking for money.

I'm not trying to convince you of anything or prove anything. I heard your comment.
