wow, you just made the most impressive comment paradigm I've met since internet era.

''' func comment() -> url { guard let statement else return { next url.nextComment} print( Statement + "/n" + take.myOwn )

   return url.evidience
} '''

Blogs and my personal sites have always been good, but discoverability isn’t there.

I'm working on something trying to solve the discoverability problem:

" Hello Internet! I made something, check it out! hello? Anyone?"

But there is a strong argument for it:

"You got no response cuz you suck, what you made suck, it's not internet's problem, it's your own problem."

I can't argue back so I accepted it, then I realize something:

It wasn't that no one see it or no one likes it holding me back, it was the humiliation that haunts me the moment I post it.

None of these outlets feels like a good “home” to me

You should never feel humiliated at home, which is one and only reason why I don't live with my parents :--(

Guess I should've put up some demo instead of a drama

take a photo

yes but there is no preview, if configured right when you take pictures, you are looking at her/him or the button that fetch his/her posted photo

send it

it is sent (actually post) the moment you press "take photo", they are coupled, you get a thumbnail preview after you take it and a mild haptic notification after uploaded.

swipe it

You can take a screenshot if you want, but in the app, you swipe, the record is removed from the one and only database

Hello, world! I made an app and here it is.

A: Okay, you got yourself 5 seconds.

R: So you do a quick configuration, then every-time you call it, you hit enter.

A: So it's an command line tool?

R: Yes! but for the life terminal, hence it demands an appearance, hence it's an app.

A: So I hit Enter, what happens?

R: Well, it got only 3 commands, may I?

A: Go ahead, I say when.

R: So you did the configuration, you have this channel with your love, and..

A: Wait! What is! You think you can fool me?

R: I'm terribly sorry sir but the configuration takes no more than 10 sec, I assumed you'd expect a full experience once again I'm so sorry.

A: You are losing me.

R: So the first command, you strangle a dandelion and hand it to your love.

A: go on?

R: 2nd: you take the dandelion handed by you love.

A: and?

R: 3rd: blow it.

A: What is a dandelion?

R: A photo you take within the app.

A: like I would expect anything, why don't I use FaceTime or message or sth?

R: Does any of them feel like a dandelion?

A: what about privacy and all that stuff?

R: Well here is what I offer and I shall maintain,[SIGN-IN FREE, AD FREE, NOTIFICATION FREE, NO DATA COLLECTION IN ANY SENSE, TRIVIAL LOCAL MEMORY USAGE], just build a channel for you, where you can strangle a dandelion and

A: Okay I get it, but can you do BETTER?

R: I'm confidently positive, see, it's in the stage of a usable prototype, but I can't wait to buy my grandma an iPhone and build up the channel, so I just shipped it. A month ago I don't even have a mac but the idea pops up and it was so clear.. Anyway, it's been a heavy month. And any suggestion just throw it in my face as long as it play along with dandelion scene.

A: you saying it's an iOS only app?

R: Yes it's highly coupled with iCloud service (which won't take up your personal quota) and that's how I made it SIGN-IN FREE and all that..

A: what you call it?

R: TriviGaGa or 吹微GaGa

A: is that Chinese?

R: yes and it sounds exactly like 'trivi' and shares the in-literal meaning, I'm a baby creeper in coding but a grumpy old poet (if you allow me to say)

A: How much?

R: $1.99 buyout but you can only get a free TestFlight version for now.

A: Tell me how you feel as a user?

R: It kept me reminded(not with notification, but just being in my phone), reminds me how alone I truly am and the fact that nothing I do can fundamentally change that.

A: So it's a worthless app from an even less person?

R: You are getting to know me.

A: You got one last word.

R: The in-app guideline is only made a Chinese version because my grandma don't know what a command line tool is. So just swipe it off, for now.

A: Like I would give it a try.

R: my apology for the last time.

appericate your kindess and you just made my day, "a man jealous of a city", how about a fish jealous of earbuds, I mean, it has to be the same species do we?

the biggest silent majority..That would definitly make more sense but my shallow mind sticks to 'most', more poetic it says.

You see, if you pardon my jibber jabber, 'most' is statistic but 'majority' implies some political asset..

If SH did carrys out Centre Party's policy like most of other cities does, this bizzare wouldn't happen in the first place, if weepy kid always get what it want, what about the slient most?

SH's fault is not CN's fault. China has no face, we just have the biggest slient most, pardon my English if you may ;)
