But what are the points used for?


Getting kids addicted to something useful.


XP moves a kid up the detective ranks, from Rookie to Sherlock. At 2000XP a leaderboard unlocks, but only if a parent turns it on. Nothing to buy there..


Thanks for the reminder! The reports I'm seeing are saying that it's seemed to be pushing out without major issues, though that's also likely related to minimal changes...


I do have to say, that's one of the best designed/looking demos I've seen, and also immediately intuitive to understand; nice job!


I love this; also runs surprisingly smoothly (at least in browser; didn't check mobile). Also beautiful and hypnotic in motion. What's the next step that you want to take to develop it (not that there needs to be one)?


I assumed they meant that relative distance from Earth or orbit is to scale, not that the size of the dots was to scale, but I could be wrong


Maybe it's me, but I'm having trouble figuring out how this is different (or better) than Obsidian, which is also free? Is it the open source aspect?


Especially considering Obsidian just announced that the next major release will allow opening any .MD files with Obsidian for viewing/editing


Wrong tool comparison. This seems more like a vibecoded clone of Typora.


(tbh) Seems more polished and featured than Typora and more lightweight than VSCode.

I'm switching to Sarala.


"why would I be impressed if I can just go prompt it myself?" I mean, I see what you mean, but this also reads like, "I found out my favourite author dictates their novels rather than types them out and formats them, which is lame; I can just make up stories and speak myself". It's the idea (and to whatever extent, the design intervention during the iterative process) from the human that's most useful and impressive, at least to me.


I like the design; simple but clean and ideal. I guess the ideal might be, if you're able to scan the barcode on something in the fridge (e.g. a carton of milk that's running low) and it automatically sends/syncs to the list on the outside of the fridge. Nice job and thanks for sharing!


I love this idea and this is a perfect example to demonstrate the concept!


"...if you have a bunch of apps and fitness monitors from different manufacturers, very few of them all talk to each other." I can safely say (or maybe confess) that this is exactly my situation and one that I'd love to see resolved. I currently use Oura, Whoop, and Fitbit devices simultaneously (testing out which I like best), and I think Google Health claims that it's integrating data between devices, but it's kinda inscrutable how much it actually is. Something that really verified data convergence between apps would be great, as well as a way to tell which data (in the converged app) was coming from which source, so you could identify which devices/apps you really needed to keep. I might just be an outlier, though... Which devices/apps are currently supported?
