Readit NewsThat said, maybe there's some other advantage to having an account that I just didn't think of.
There's no screenshots and no information about how it works (or information at all for that matter), which doesn't really convince me to create an account (in my mind, the process of picking a deck and printing it is not one where requiring a login would be obvious, so some more "convincing" might help).
I don't want to sound mean-spirited, but I'd guess many people would similarly refrain from creating an account for the reasons mentioned above.
Edit: Turns out there's a cool scrolling cards animation as background! It's just that it doesn't seem to work on Firefox so there it just has a blank background.
I get that they probably (I'm assuming) represent moving the titlebar to the top (maximizing) or to the bottom (minimizing) of the screen, but I can see someone who doesn't already know what they do assuming they're for changing between windows.
To be fair, the modern maximize/minimize icons that Windows uses are not that much better. The minimize button doesn't even represent what a taskbar entry looks like (by default) anymore.
I get it though, if what you’re selling is “best practices” you’re obviously going to over complicate things. You’re likely also going to be very successful in marketing it to a profession where things are just… bad. I mean, in how many other branches of engineering is it considered natural that things just flat out fail as often as they do in IT? So it’s easy to sell “best practices”. Of course after three decades of peddling various principles and strategies and so on, our business is in even worse state than it was before.
In my country we’ve spent a literal metric fuck ton of money trying to replace some of the COBOL systems powering a lot of our most critical financial systems. From the core or our tax agency to banking. So far no one have been capable of doing it, despite various major contractors applying all sorts of “modern” strategies and tools.
To be fair, it's possible that the current systems are just poorly documented. All the best strategies in the world are hopeless against poor documentation/spec work.
What about starting a new web then only for the supported subset?
Based on my current browsing experience, this may be a plus in the long run.
It's even deliberately designed to not be easily extensible, as to avoid the temptation of adding features.
You might be mistaking melatonin for melanin (the skin colour one).
I also spent a long time working on a very large update which I might have archived somewhere locally but never shared it online.
It was a great way to understand UI and usability paradigms beyond building game mechanics.
This definitely triggered some pleasant nostalgia for me.
I was the creator of Tiagix OS, AFAIK one of the first subOSes that actually had support for creating apps for it.
Learned a lot about GUI toolkits making it, since I had to implement one from scratch for it.
I also saw your other comment about the "test" account (didn't feel like replying on both places). Thank you for that.
