As an ADHD person, the landing page is absolutely anti-ADHD - a lot of stuff with basically no info about what it really does. It should have been all concise and tangible information, simple example, demo. Instead just a lot of marketing fluff. I spent all the focus budget there and I have no idea what it does.

Perhaps try to go directly into the app store, I think that copy and the screenshots is a lot more straight forward. Our care team has skewed the landing page to be a bit more of "show the benefit" rather than the functionality (since a lot of the functionality looks like chat bots) but we can definitely take another look through it and I love the idea of including a demo! For now, the youtube demo is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDSDxyXv6i4

I am going to second the comment you are replying to. Strongly.

Why are you (indirectly by omission) asking a cohort of people who need information to be direct, to redirect? That's a serious market/message mismatch.

> Our care team has skewed the landing page to be a bit more of "show the benefit" rather than the functionality

That is what the snake oil industry does. Or enterprise sales. Even cults. ("Look at what we say these people say about us!" "We have a solution to your problem! [restated several times in different ways]!"

I am baffled by the term "care team" in this context.

I find that being concrete and credible, instead of asking people who don't know you for trust and unrewarded interest out of the gate, is a much better way to communicate something that is real.

If you do have a way to help ADHD people, I wish you luck communicating that. As an ADHD person myself, I have system creation/adoption fatigue. You seem to be aware of this. So be very direct about exactly what you do that helps, so someone that has tried many things, i.e. a sophisticated customer by necessity, can judge anything you say. (As they say in science, non-testable claims are not worth much. When marketing solutions to serious problems, this relates to the first thing you show people.)

Fair, feedback heard from multiple people here on: being more direct, concrete, credible. I'll take this back for the next iteration of the landing page!

I very much hope you can help people! :)

adhd here, too, including asperger. seconded:

A huge intro post, like a text wall. That's everything an adhd person is trying to avoid.

Started the app. A couple of "motivational speeches". Asking some questions I don't even understand. Answered randomly, just to see what the app is offering. At the end: account required.

That's where you first lost me.

So I tried the website. First sentence just some sale-pitch-speech:

> Built from lessons learned after 80,000+ ADHD coaching sessions, Indy gives you the structure you need, daily support that keeps you accountable, and momentum you can actually sustain.

On the right some nothing-saying screenshot. Scrolling down. More text. Buzzword-Bingo. "Journey". "Build a vision." "Stop dreaming about your future. Start building it."

Great, another one of those catchy, fancy offers pretending to help you. Another pretty website from the default vercel-ish website-builder.

No offense - perhaps it's my asperger. This does not seem helpful at all. Maybe it is. Then it's on me.

I need clear, focussed messages. No noise. No modern interface. Form follows function. Not the other way around.

After you sign up, you're asked to spend 10-15 minutes creating a "Lifeline." Which, despite its name, does not appear to be a lifeline of any kind, but rather a timeline of my life, except it also strips dates out, so... just a list of events in no particular order.

Unfortunately - I've got ADHD. I'm not going to spend the next 10 minutes telling the app the biggest facts about my life. Well, actually - I tried to, then I put the phone down to do something else, and when I came back the 'page' had refreshed and the four things I had entered were back down to just the first one.

(Why do you even want them? The app hasn't even explained how this will help. It's barely even tried to explain what the app will actually DO.)

This comment might seem harsh, but this feedback is gold. I agree completely, matched my experience reading through the page, and I was diagnosed in my mid-40s with ADHD.

I wonder if the folks doing marketing are neurotypical, but they are trying to target a population that's neurodivergent? Just spitballing since I have no info, but an interesting topic.

I disagree with the vibecoding take. Its a new skill that absolutely has a place in developers skillset and it may be of great importance for some kinds of projects. You can learn so much by vibecoding little projects that otherwise would never see the light of day.

not sure what i'm looking at here...

If you're viewing on a desktop, shrink the browser until each line stacks below the previous one, creating a tree.

It shows up as a Christmas tree for me on my phone in portrait mode. In landscape mode the braille is messed up.

I’m assuming they fixed the formatting since you posted, but it’s a Christmas tree in text art using braille characters.

Side note: I assume you can’t call it ASCII art if it uses non-ASCII characters, but Unicode art doesn’t have the same ring.

A Christmas tree through the snow?

Fucked up Braille?

If you have inference running on this new 128GB RAM Mac, wouldn't you still need another separate machine to do the manual work (like running IDE, browsers, toolchains, builders/bundlers etc.)? I can not imagine you will have any meaningful RAM available after LLM models are running.

No? First of all you can limit how much of the unified RAM goes into VRAM, and second, many applications don't need that much RAM. Even if you put 108 GB to VRAM and 16 to applications, you'll be fine.

How about the rest of the resources? CPU/GPU? Would your work not be affected by inference running?

AI doesn't really use much CPU. In a simple answer, no your work would not be affected.

Exactly this. I've used Jenkins, Travis, CircleCI and all of them were so easy in comparison to the github actions runner mess.

And time of the operator is $0 per hour as well

Which it is. Unless you would actually be getting paid for that time (which you wouldn't in most cases), the opportunity cost is $0.

Well said. I’m often nonplussed at these calculations of some fairly high hourly rate that we seemingly all should be able to command at will at anytime in unlimited supply. Well, I can’t.

You get paid in happiness of having and doing a hobby that brings peace and joy :))

If you would otherwise be doing anything with positive expected utility in that time, the opportunity cost is >$0.

The fact that the analysis can be carried out in monetary units (because we don't have a good direct measure of utility) doesn't mean that receiving money itself is the only source of utility that needs to be considered.

Most of the time my time spend operating my A1 Mini is... maybe 2-3 minutes per plate? Drag and drop into Bambu Studio, run the slicer, send the job to the printer, come back in 4 hours and grab my prints. I might need to break off the supports and clean them up - but with an injection molded kit I'd be snipping the sprues, cleaning up mold lines with a knife and gluing the models together anyway.

The commericial overhead rate for an SLA printer is about $5 a plate - the washing and curing steps can be largely automated, or even if they are done manually, it's not that much work.

People who 3D print as a hobby often derive enjoyment from time spent on the printing process. It’s another layer of hobby on top of the hobbies you’re printing

Yeah a lot of my friends legitimately enjoy the art of making or modifying models in Blender, and the science of testing different print profiles, materials and processes.

Nice game. But the stars in the background were confusing and hard to distinguish between them and projectiles. That got me killed way too many times.

I'm on a team like that and I see it happening in more and more companies around. Maybe "many" does a heavy lifting in the quoted text, but it is definitely happening.

Why do you find "vibe coding" term dumb? It names a specific process. Do you have a better term for that?

bullshitting perhaps

If you knew GraphQL, you may immediately see it - you ask for specific nested structure of the data, which can span many joins across different related collections. This is not the case with common REST API or CLI for example. And introspection is another good reason.
