Fair enough. Sorry for sounding a bit mean.

I also saw your other comment about the "test" account (didn't feel like replying on both places). Thank you for that.

Maybe some sort of "guest mode" where you could use the site, pick a deck and preview the printing (maybe a very small image), but then required an account to not lose the deck or actually getting the printable would be pretty reasonable.

That said, maybe there's some other advantage to having an account that I just didn't think of.

Having your home page be just a login button is a bit disappointing.

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.

Personally I find them a bit ambiguous.

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.

> 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.

This is more or less the idea behind projects like the Gemini protocol [1].

It's even deliberately designed to not be easily extensible, as to avoid the temptation of adding features.

By taking an higher dosage of whatever they're taking for sleeping.

You might be mistaking melatonin for melanin (the skin colour one).

I think there's a build of an older version of it on the YoYoGames archive. The archive didn't save the screenshots that the original website had, sadly.

I also spent a long time working on a very large update which I might have archived somewhere locally but never shared it online.

Nice to see someone else who also remembers those.

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.
