For over a decade -- probably forever -- Reddit has had the worst error pages on the web. I get the joke, haha - but blaming users for your 500s is not cool. Snoo is sad because of something I did? Actually, no, you get the F.

Sold 2 typerfast.com memberships in the last week - what a pick-me-up, and great motivation to keep improving the app!

It baffles me that companies ask for sexual orientation on your application. I get that this is intended to combat discrimination, but the fact that it's in any way part of the hiring conversation feels outlandish.

typerfast.com, my adaptive typing trainer, has come a long way since I started working on it 3 months ago, thanks to great feedback from paying users. Now there are varied targeted exercises, a much better UI, and expanded analytics. I hope you give it a look!
could your dumb brain help my dumb brain? because my dumb brain is still thinking this
Made an OpenAI API mistake yesterday that cost me 27 cents. Not a huge deal, but definitely the most costly bug I've had to pay for!
If you've ever heard "you know what they say about [Place], if you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes", it's not [Place]. They say that everywhere.
I've been working on Typerfast.com full-time (get better at typing), while TinyLogger.com (write consistently) is functional. Without too much effort, TinyLogger has been gaining users one by one. It's an amazing feeling. Long-term I'm hoping one app will feed into the other.
In today's edition of Absolutely Useless Notifications Nobody Ever Needs, we have this gem from LinkedIn.
Them: "I can't tell what I'm typing"

Here's why I built/love tinylogger.com - so that I can always pull up this page, jot down an outline, and come back to turn this into a full-fledged blog post in a week.
In what world does this make any sense to the average user?
