The (non-tech) industry I am in generates an enormous amount of text that it's fairly certain nobody reads past the executive summary.

My workmates love it. Amongst the tech community, I see a divide very similar to the crypto one - everybody who has a stake in it succeeding is very optimistic. Everybody working in other areas seems dubious at best.


Yeah, overall it feels somewhat useful in a work context. Nothing transformative though.


Generating huge amounts of stylistically awful ultra-verbose nonsense isn’t actually useful in any industry other than the ultra-low-end journalism/blogspam space. Either no-one reads it anyway, in which case it’s more or less a wash, or someone actually has to read it, in which case it’s a productivity drain.


It's a productivity boost for the people who have to generate the text that nobody reads. At an organisational level it's a wash caused by requiring that text in the first place


Or a high visibility vest and a clipboard.

Really, who is going to catch you in this scenario?


..... aaaaaand another measure just became a target...


so when selling the house you figure people will do this work before calling a realtor?


Why not? There are companies dedicated to sprucing up houses for sale. They will even bake bread for you before inspections to give the place a "homey" smell.

Half an hour with a screwdriver seems doable


Not defending the ratings system here, but there is a big gap between M and R/X or whatever your country uses.

A better question would be if you would be more comfortable with your child being shown porn or snuff movies. For me the answer would be neither, in about an equal measure


This is really interesting. Can you say how much it costs the user to remove ads?


The classics are classics for a reason


The more constructive way of putting this would be to mention which browser you are using. Judging from the comments, it works in plenty of browsers


I found this game from a recommendation here and I have played it every day since. I think it's great. The rules take a bit of getting used to, but the dynamic of never having to guess (and getting penalised for guessing) makes it really interesting. It's just hard enough without being infuriating.

The page says that there are other Sam puzzles which can be played in html5, but the link only goes to the app store. Congrats on this one. Where can I find the browser versions of the others?


Awesome! Glad to hear!

I indeed have a couple of puzzle games. They are all very different from this one, but more like popular casual mobile games. They are available on iOS and Android, and I also have web builds but I haven't set up the links. Now that I know someone was looking for them, I have to put them up!


Looks nice but definitely in the "Why is this an app and not a webpage?" category for me


Yeah, that's a good one thanks
