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..

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?

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.

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

"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!

Maybe I'm just too defeatist or depressed, but I feel like any somewhat-reliable tells of AI are going to be so transient that it's almost not worth the effort to identify and write about AI "tells", since they'll be "fixed" or avoided so quickly by a future iteration or prompt. (This obviously excludes the increasingly important work of people whose whole jobs are to ID AI use; I'm just talking about your average citizen here.) I do think it's easier to see in UI (like the author shows in this link) than in text, though...

Wait, I didn't even think about the plane implications; I'd be happy to trade "looking like a crazy person" for being functional on a plane. (Proof of this: I purchased a Pluto Pod for long flights, and that definitely requires habituating to looking very weird on a plane.) This comment is kind of turning me around on this...

Nostalgia-fostering and well-executed; thanks for sharing!
