Uh, there's no like finance guy trying to sell you, you know, the upsells and the wheel entire pack. It's like, it's just actually like a fun experience. And it's not like the software is fun, but the experience is actually fun, especially in contrast to what else exists. This is something that I, I really admire about them.

And something we've tried to do in our products is to try to make them feel cozy and comfortable and, in a way that I find a lot of software to be very clinical and cold, especially like modern design aesthetics, a lot of stuff just feels very cold and clinical.

Um, so I think you can bring a little bit of like, this feels warm, so it's not necessarily fun, but there's a warmth to it, which I think is cool to see. Um, there was that one app or that one game years ago, maybe it still exists. It's like that sort of skiing game where you kind of hold your finger down and yep. I forget what it's called. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful, simple, artfully done.

The whole thing is just, was so wonderful and maybe still is. That's one of the last experiences I've had using software. And this is a number of years ago where I felt like one person made this just to delight people. Anyway, I'd love to see more of that and less like How big could this be? Even though the idea I was sharing earlier, I feel it could be big and gamed and the whole thing.

I think boring is a good word for a lot of stuff, actually. And it's unfortunate. You have these incredible little hand computers or laptops, whatever it is. What I feel like is missing, and again, this is maybe like the old guy coming back and talking about how it used to be, right? I don't want to be that.

But there does seem to be a hobbyist ethos, which seems to be missing in a lot of software. It used to be more of the hobbyist, like almost surprising themselves with the fact that they made something that works. It was like... awesome. And it's in that, that this thing works. This is great. Like it's totally quirky and weird.

And I made it for myself and maybe you can use it vibe, which was like the vibe, uh, like shareware and all the stuff that happened before the internet. Um, and early days, the internet too, um, and early websites and early personal blogs, like that kind of stuff. There was a, there was definitely an era of hobbyists, fun exploration. We don't know what this thing is yet.
