Ehh... I think it's just okay. It's like a mix of things I might use, but each thing is just okay. The ambiance sounds are an obvious loop after a few minutes. The coffee shop one was pleasant, but then it goes silent at the end of the track and pulls me out of my focus. Similar story with the lo-fi. A few minutes in and I memorized the loop and felt distracted by it. I don't need a todo app. Anything work related go…
I suppose it's fine if a lot of people like it, but if anything it shows how little desktop environments have advanced/bloomed, and how deeply cargo-culted that whole space is. This should be trivially easy to implement without visiting the web.
> it shows how little desktop environments have advanced/bloomed Are you suggesting it should be built in to a desktop environment and not a separate program? Why? > how deeply cargo-culted that whole space is Desktop environments? I don't understand this point at all. > This should be trivially easy to implement without visiting the web. By "should" are you critiquing the author, or do you not think it's easy for so…
This entire system could be done locally with a more "pliable" environment, but e.g. those of us who want something customizable would have to slog through bash scripts or emacs or something like that.
Instead of e.g. something that worked like the famed/mythical "modern Hypercard."

Not critiquing the author at all -- what I'm saying is: There is absolutely nothing about this that requires a connection to the internet or to store any of this with a 3rd party. That's a liability.

A local piece of HTML works fine as a modern hypercard. Or various app platforms that give you a similar experience. As far as I can tell the pliability you want is already there.

This is honestly the weirdest and most wrong thing I've ever seen anyone say on HN. The two are not remotely comparable. Like, you no, you can't drag and drop to create a calculator with HTML.
I thought you were saying that making this work offline should be trivial. I didn't realize you wanted to replace the entire dev process, to have the end user make their own version from scratch.
So my reply was talking about the ease of installing a program that was developed like this but for offline use, not the ease of make-your-own.
You're of course right that making your own has no easy solution here. But that's a separate problem from working offline, and the way you talked about both problems at the same time confused me.
