Some additional feedback:

There's no reason for both the story count and the story summary to be clickable. It's confusing because:

(a) It's not clear what the number in parentheses even means (until you click and infer)

(b) Separate links makes you think they lead to different pages

Also, echoing another comment, it's not really clear what "incoming" and "outgoing" stories mean. Maybe "new" vs. "stale"?

seems very transparent

Except not:

The interface design has drawn criticism from privacy advocates, as the large black "Accept" button is prominently displayed while the opt-out toggle appears in smaller text beneath. The toggle defaults to "On," meaning users who quickly click "Accept" without reading the details will automatically consent to data training.

Definitely happened to me as it was late/lazy.

So, did you make it faster?

Hmm? Article says it’s a combination of atomoxetine and aroxybutynin.

Is Triplit overkill (over PouchDB) if multi-user collaboration is not a use case?

Good points. I think clue 3 is weird because what is a "pay one"? You can't take a "pay one", but I get how to read it now---it's like an anaphor for the word. But yes, for consistency a blank space would have worked: [taking a pay ____ is a bummer]

I think my confusion with clue 2 was that I had never heard of the idiom "[to] fish or cut bait" [1]

Congrats! Some feedback, if you're taking any:

- Without the tutorial, it's confusing that you're not supposed to click and you're supposed to start typing. I wonder if placing the text box at the top would make that more clear.

- Some of the clues are confusing due to inconsistent punctuation. For example:

  [to ___fish, to lure someone in using a fake internet persona] = cat
  [do this or cut bait] = fish
  [taking a pay one is a bummer] = cut
  [rocks when added to soda will NOT cause your stomach to explode] = pop

Isn't this the gap TinySeed tries to fill?

I think there’s merit in a hybrid approach, and more people should do this instead of slapping a chatbot everywhere, but your approach seems completely backwards from a usability perspective. Chat interfaces (edit: and similarly, CLIs) are at complete odds with discoverability[1]. In your demo, I’m trying to understand the point of the chatbot when all it does is convert a button, with a pretty decent CTA (“try sending us an email”), to a sentence in the first person? Why not a large “Compose Email” button? And if the chatbot can do more than one thing, how many of these potential “conversation starters” are you going to display?

What we need are designers who can help establish a foundational structure (information architecture) that leads to discoverable and simple UIs to nudge users in the right direction. Once users are at a place where they know what’s possible/available, then perhaps you can allow some fuzziness to help them cross the line to accomplish their task.

On a corporate blog, though, for a product that is competing in this space?

or the CEO of Franz, Inc. as an advisor, it seems.

how to make Outlook work

Well that’s your first problem. Unless you’re using corporate email?

As someone who worked with Common Lisp many moons ago, this is the answer I needed to pique my interest in Clojure (again).

You're mistaking challenges in building a global app for malicious intent.

Perhaps the grandparent comment of mine did, not me.

We'll add something back to the FAQ on this, thank you all for pointing it out.

So people don't read onboarding instructions, but you're going to bury the pricing info in an FAQ in the App Store where it's hidden below the fold?

The fix is quite easy. Here's a redesign for your in-app registration screen:

   Create account   
                    
  ┌────────────────┐
  │Name            │
  └────────────────┘
  ┌────────────────┐
  │Email           │
  └────────────────┘
  ┌────────────────┐
  │Password        │
  └────────────────┘
                    
    ┌────────────┐  
    │  Register  │  
    └────────────┘  
   7-day free trial,
    $6.67/mo after

What FAQ and pricing pages? Your website makes no mention of pricing at all.

Edit: The "dark" pattern is in the registration flow. It doesn't mention that the app requires a subscription anywhere until after you've created an account. Surely you could add a disclaimer before creating your account? This has nothing to do with the App Store.

Edit 2: I'm not saying you intended to implement a dark pattern. Just perhaps a UX oversight.

Edit 3: The download page would be another great place to put this info, since that's the primary CTA on the home page (there's 4 prominent download buttons).

The study ended so no worries. In any case, congrats on the exit!

What happened to your app? I was on such a research team (Scripps) that used your app for the study (PROGRESS).

Yeah, the abstract could use a bit more work. The gist of it is being in a closed-loop cycle with ChatGPT only helps with the task at hand, and not with engaging with the full learning process. Instead they say "When using AI in learning, learners should focus on deepening their understanding of knowledge and actively engage in metacognitive processes such as evaluation, monitoring, and orientation, rather than blindly following ChatGPT's feedback solely to complete tasks efficiently."

Most folks are projecting what the title says into their own emotion space and then riffing on that.

Yeah, or the abstract which is a bit vague.

Just so you know, it’s _deprecated_.

Their customers are developers, their product is a dev tool. No different than any other company obsessing over great UX. Stripe won because of the developer experience.

Not the OP, but I imagine it has to do with the "LLMs will improve over time" trope. You said "and have been for the last at least 6 months" and it's confusing what you meant or what you expected should have happened in the past 6 months.

OT, but man, I remember reading that book when I was a kid. Then started reading HTML books and, of course, the Llama book.

IMO everyone has a ceiling when it comes to math.

Yes, but it's higher than you think: https://www.justinmath.com/your-mathematical-potential-has-a...

Yeah I don't understand this either, because the same is true in Latin American countries. What's worse is immigrants who never had allergies in their country of origin come here and develop all sorts of seasonal allergies.

Make it a fidget toy and you're onto something.

Good point. I finally know what to do with the old iPads my kids don't use anymore.

There was an essay about Lisp being a "language for smart people"

Presumably, you are referring to The Bipolar Lisp Programmer[1], an HN classic[2].

Arguably form factor, i.e. smartphones and tablets. Whether you think that's incremental or not is subjective, I guess.

I would say incremental, but it does solve a different set of problems (connectedness, mobility) than the PC.
