this quote from @simonw on the heavybit podcast yesterday was spot-on:

"So I realized what I value more than the quality of the tests and documentation is that I want somebody to have used the thing. If you’ve got a vibe coded thing which you have used every day for the past two weeks, that’s much more valuable to me than something that you’ve just spat out and hardly even exercised."

i frequently try out niche github projects and sometimes there are some glaring holes that make me think the creator never actually used it

might explore adding USAGE.md and usage.jsonl to some of my side projects

@bentossell would love to try this out! I use email as my to-do list so Superhuman UI + shortcuts are super nice for easily sending myself emails, scheduling emails for the future, etc. but $30/month is hard to stomach (vs. a similarly polished+modern+AI Readwise Reader app at $13..)

@kish_anwary darwin’s game

@CSCoppell I can see how it would be taken as aggressive, I'll consider modifying/removing that zinger. Also, of course! Puns! Definitely want to add more of those. Thanks!

[Ryan Brown @NotRyanB]

@CSCoppell I'll definitely implement something like this in the future, a lot of people have commented that instructions would be helpful. However, instructions are more difficult to add than you might think, and so they would come in a later update (after I've expanded the content).

@CSCoppell I also found the game to be a bit easier than I wanted it to be when the spike hitbox was only the point.

[Ryan Brown @NotRyanB]

@CSCoppell I had a bit of the same issue with the sloped icon/spikes at first, but I decided to keep it because the slanted icon allows you to dodge the spikes more easily with large movements (which I find more fun), rather than just staying in a single spot and slightly moving to dodge.

[Ryan Brown @NotRyanB]

@CSCoppell As for the screen side issue, how do you orient your hands when playing? The way I play is to keep both thumbs/index fingers on the edges of the screen (so that they don't block vision of the spikes), and then tap to move left and right. I personally find it pretty natural.

[Ryan Brown @NotRyanB]

@CSCoppell Were there specific zingers (love that word btw) that you found to be mediocre, were they worded poorly, were there not enough zingers, or did you find them overall to be mediocre? I'll try to work on modifying\adding new zingers with each update.

[Ryan Brown @NotRyanB]

@CSCoppell Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm a bit confused on what you mean by "a more comfortable hit box", could you explain? I will be releasing more skins in a future update that hopefully will address the plainness issue.
